How will character creation work

Once you book the session, I will send you a link to Roll20 so you can check out the various player options and start working on your character. Monster of the Week, character creation is an important part of the experience, allowing players to bring their unique vision of a monster hunter to life. Players start by choosing a concept for their character, such as a detective, journalist, or paranormal investigator. Then, they select their character's skills, abilities, and special powers to reflect their concept. One of the key features of character creation in Monster of the Week is the use of playbooks. Playbooks are pre-written templates that offer a starting point for characters, giving players a set of abilities, moves, and starting gear that are tailored to specific play styles and concepts. For example, a player who wants to play a tough-as-nails action hero might choose the Slayer playbook, while a player who wants to play a clever detective might choose the Detective playbook. The playbooks provide a solid foundation for players to build upon, but they are also flexible enough to allow for customization and personalization. In addition to the playbooks, players can also choose from a range of supernatural powers and abilities, such as telekinesis, clairvoyance, and shape-shifting, to help them battle the monsters they will face. These abilities can be used to turn the tide of battle, but they also come with their own risks and drawbacks, making each character unique and challenging to play. So if you're looking for a thrilling and rewarding character creation experience, then Monster of the Week is the perfect game for you!
