ffutures | And another one-week bundle

More horror, but only on offer for a week rather than running until Halloween. This time it's Monster of the Week from Evil Hat Productions, running on the Apocalypse Engine rules.

Monster of the Week

https://bundleofholding.com/quick/MOTW

This Monster of the Week Quick Deal offer presents Monster of the Week, the Apocalypse Engine creature-hunting RPG from Evil Hat Productions. Mostly, when someone finds out monsters are real, that's just before they die. But some people are mean, smart, crazy, and/or hurt enough that they live. Some of those people go and hunt down more monsters. That's you – someone on a crusade against evil critters. You're defending your hometown from your adversaries – or you're hitting the road to find them. Maybe you have magic powers that help out, or your name came up in prophecies thousands of years ago. The one sure thing? You aren't going back to your old, safe life.

Monster of the Week casts you as one of 12 Hunter character playbooks (Chosen, Crooked, Divine, Expert, Flake, Initiate, Monstrous, Mundane, Professional, Spell-Slinger, Spooky, and Wronged). Hunt high-school beasties a la Buffy the Vampire Slayer, travel the country to bring down unnatural creatures like the Winchester brothers of Supernatural, or head up government investigations like Mulder and Scully. Tackle Bigfoot, collar a chupacabra, and drive away demons. Grab the fireplace poker and open your spell book, because that monster's going down!

This new Monster of the Week Quick Deal gathers the essential rulebooks, new Mysteries, and evil baddies for a price hardly more than a good sharp wooden stake. We provide each title complete in .PDF. Like all Bundle of Holding titles, these ebooks have NO DRM (Digital Restrictions Management), and our customers are entitled to move them freely among all their devices. (By publisher request, the DriveThruRPG versions of some of these files are inobtrusively watermarked.)

Tome of Mysteries rules expansion for Monster of the Week The total retail value of the titles in this offer is US$46. Customers who pay just US$12.95 get all eight titles in our Monstrous Collection (retail value $46) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete Monster of the Week Revised core rulebook (retail price $12), previously in the September 2015 Apocalypse Engine Bundle; the rules expansion Tome of Mysteries with four new Hunter playbooks (retail $12); four ready-to-play Mysteries (Eaten by the Rich, Frosty Reception , Honey I Shrunk the Hunters, and Running Out of Time), retail $3 each; and two mini-bestiaries, Van Helsing's Creature Codex Vol 1 and Vol 2 - Vampiranomicon (retail $5 each).

I played this at Continuum a couple of months ago and really enjoyed the adventure, in which our team ran a gaming podcast similar to Tabletop and ran into a mystery during a games con; since I was basically playing Oz from Buffy I got to kick ass and tear a couple of monsters limb from limb which was an interesting variation on the usual horror RPG experience... Assuming that I wasn't just very lucky with the GM and other players I think it's a fun system and well worth a look.
