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 Buffy 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, werewolves, and other-dimensional creatures; and hunter types like the Crooked and the Spell-Slinger.
Grab the fireplace poker and get your spell book. That monster’s going down!

super excited to play this. are there any differences between buying the book and using the pdfs in the resources section ?
Yep, the book contains a lot of additional explanation of how to run the game, build mysteries, etc. All you get in the downloads section are the playbooks and core moves.
i love the adventure zone!!! the second game they play after dnd they play it. it is epic.
Maybe this has been addressed before, but in the book there are some other Classes listed (Action Scientist, Luchador, etc.) and it says they can be found on the website, but I am having trouble locating them.
Those are likely available from Generic Games.
Is there any way to retroactively order the book+pdf combo? I didn’t know the PDF was lacking so much information that the physical book contained.
Which PDF are you looking at? The Monster of the Week PDF that we sell (which is not the handouts PDF) contains the entirety of the content of the physical book.
I was wondering if there is a record of a session run by Michael Sands or Steve Hickey.
Although I really like the game, there are some rules I would like to see used the way the creators intended then.
Cyrian, I’ve never recorded any of my games, I’m sorry. I am, however, happy to answer questions. Probably on one of the MotW communities would be best: https://www.reddit.com/r/monsteroftheweek/, https://mewe.com/join/monster_of_the_week_roadhouse, or https://twitter.com/MotW_rpg
Thanks for the replay. I will set up a mewe account and ask about further details there.
