About the adventure
After losing contact with an agent sent to investigate a series of grisly animal deaths in the sleepy, sunbaked town of Snakebite Gulch, a covert monster-hunting organization dispatches a unit to find their missing member before it’s too late. Over 3-6 session you and your allies must track down your missing colleague and discover the source of the town’s looming threat - all without revealing the nature of your investigation to it’s residents - before you all wind up with bitemarks of your own… Great for players new and old to Monster of the Week!

About me
Hi, I'm Sam! I'm an award-nominated GM and player who's been enjoying tabletop games since being introduced to them in middle school. I've been running games for players both old and new since 2015, and have completed several multi-year campaigns, as well as a string of shorter games. I am the current GM of "Pest Control", an actual-play Monster of the Week show that has been running since 2022, produced in collaboration with the AltHaven TTRPG network, and I have been a regular performer on several other shows including "Hijinks & Handlebars" (Kids on Bikes, 2018-2020), and "$2 Creature Feature" (2021/2022). I have experience running D&D 5e, Daggerheart, Monster of the Week, Beam Saber, Kids on Bikes, Kids on Brooms, Monsterhearts, Icarus, Alice is Missing, The Ground Itself, Blades in the Dark, The Quiet Year, Dungeon World, Good Society, and more. I'd love to help make your next campaign unforgettable!

Creating your character
We will walk through the creation of our Hunters as a group during our Session 0, but everyone is encouraged to bring 2-3 character concepts with them so we have a place to start.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Everyone should have the following: - A computer microphone of some kind (I would also strongly recommend a webcam) - A Zoom account - A Discord account - Access to Google Docs
What Sam Richardson brings to the table
This game will be run exclusively using "theater of the mind". However, my GM style leans into Rule of Cool - I want to encourage you to make the fun choice, not always the safe one!
Homebrew rules
This campaign will use the following homebrew rules: LUCK - Hunters will begin with only one point of Luck each, making it an extremely valuable resource!

How Sam Richardson creates a safe table
Session 0 will be a free session to go over the game, rules, setting, tone, and player characters/connections as well as initial conversations about Lines & Veils, and the creation of physical X/N/O cards to be held up or messaged during play. From there, we'll jump right into the game starting with Session 1!
