Fall is here. Crisp breezes wind through the Chicago streets scattering the fallen leaves. As All-Hallows-Eve approaches something sinister is lurking in the city's shadowy alleys. Various reports of have come through of people disappearing late at night. Now a bystander has witnessed his friend get attacked and devoured by a bulbous monster he claims was a giant Jack-o-Lantern. In this custom 1-shot it's up to you to • Investigate the attacks • Identify what type of monster is plaguing the city • Stop the Great Pumpkin before it hurts anyone else Monster of the Week is a rules light narrative focused system that's easy to pick up. Mysteries and monsters are dangerous but you are an exceptionally badass group of Hunters that are up to the challenge.

Creating your character
We'll use the tool in roll20 to make characters prior to the game. Hunters are just starting out as such so you will make a character without any advancements.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need: Working Mic Webcam (optional) Discord account (https://discord.com/) Roll20 account (https://app.roll20.net)
What Mike_d20 brings to the table
I see tabletop games as a great opportunity for catharsis. We're here for different reasons maybe to learn something about ourselves, turn flaws into strengths, explore new aspects of yourself, or just escape from your daily struggles for a while. Whatever that is for you, I want to help bring it out in this space and have a good time while we do it. I weave the narrative threads you provide in character creation and the choices you make along the way into the narrative as it unfolds. I want your character to be fully invested in the adventure while having their own goals and aspirations they can obtain alongside the "main story."

How Mike_d20 creates a safe table
We'll cover how to use the safety deck in Roll 20 before the game starts. We'll take a break about half way through and players can always call for a break if or when they need it.
