About the adventure
Want to try a new TTRPG system outside of D&D? Do you like Supernatural, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and have a general love of cryptids and the paranormal? Come try out a Monster of the Week one-shot in a learner-friendly environment! Monster of the Week is an easy to learn, narrative focused system that puts you in the shoes of a Monster Hunter tracking down creatures causing small towns havoc. This one-shot will include approximately 1 hour of pre-game to teach the rules of the system, create characters, and cover safety tools.

About me
Let's tell some amazing stories together! My name is Daisy (she/her) and I'm a professional GM and writer. I have been running D&D and TTRPG campaigns for over 20 years and have been professionally GMing for over 3. I love handing over the reins of the story to my players and discovering together where the narrative goes. I always encourage my players to take agency make bold choices, and to be creative with their decisions and abilities! My tables are open to players of any experience level, and I'm always happy to teach new players. I am offering a variety of games at different timeslots, and while I only speak English, non-native English speakers are always welcome! Each of my games starts with an in-depth Session 0 to ensure player safety and cover table expectations. My games are custom-tailored to the characters my players come up with, incorporating unique NPCs, Locations, and Story Hooks, and never include generative AI. If you are interested in a One-Shot or a campaign not listed, please feel free to reach out and we can discuss some options!
