A monster lurks in the shadows...
Most people don’t believe in monsters, but you know the truth.
They’re real, and it’s your task to bring them down. This revised
edition of
Monster of the Week
brings that adventure to life.
Monster of the Week
is a standalone action-horror RPG for 3-5
people. Hunt high school beasties a la
Bu y the Vampire Slayer,
travel the country to bring down unnatural creatures like the
Winchester brothers of
Supernatural,
or head up the government
investigation like Mulder and Scully. This book contains everything
you need to tackle Bigfoot, collar a chupacabra, and drive away
demons.
In this revised edition, you’ll find:
•
•
•
•
•
Character creation rules to bring your hunter to life and
create a cohesive hunting team.
Eight simple moves to investigate and deal with monsters.
An easy-to-use system based on the popular
Apocalypse
World
RPG.
Thorough mystery-creation tools and two ready-to-play
mysteries.
New material including an introductory mystery; example
monsters like Balkan vampires, ghouls, and spore trolls;
and hunter types like the Crooked and the Spell-Slinger.
Grab the fireplace poker and open your spell book.
That monster’s going down!

This is a game where people make up stories about wonderful,
terrible, impossible, glorious things. All the characters and
events portrayed in this work are fictional. Any resemblance to
real people, creatures of the night, psychic hunters hellbent on
ending the werewolf threat, or actual Mongolian death worms
is purely coincidental, but kinda hilarious.
Acknowledgements For the Revised Edition
Thanks to Fred Hicks and the Evil Hat crew for supporting this revised
edition, to Steve Hickey for once again editing my words into shape,
and to everyone who has played
Monster of the Week
over the past two
and a half years.
Acknowledgements for the First Edition
Thanks go to many people who helped me with this game. Firstly, to
Vincent Baker for
Apocalypse World,
and for not minding that I took
his rules and changed them all around to fit my vision.
Also, to the many playtesters who indulged me by joining in and
hunting monsters over four or five years of development (especially
my regular Monday night crew: Scott Kelly, Bruce Norris, Andrew
McLeod, Jason Pollock, and Stefan Tyler).
Steve Hickey, who edited the game, was one of my first enthusi-
astic fans, the first Keeper (aside from me), and has provided great
feedback throughout the process. Thanks to my other early fans: Jenni
Sands, Sophie Melchior, Hamish Cameron, and Stefan Tyler.
Daniel Gorringe for the art: he was on the same page as me
instantly in terms of style, and his work is fantastic.
Thanks to Amanda Reilly, Todd Furler, Patrice Hede, Stephanie
Pegg, and Peter Aronson for finding typos above and beyond the call
of duty.
Thanks also to everyone who contributed to the game’s fundrais-
ing campaign: the game would have been much rougher without you.
And, finally, to my wife and daughter. As the dedication says, they
put up with a lot while I was writing, and were supportive all along.
Thanks also to all the fans who have played and enjoyed Monster
of the Week since the first printing, especially those of you who have
created new hunter classes, mysteries, monsters, talked about your
games, or shared it at conventions.
