Durchschn. Bewertung (171 bewertungen)

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 hardcover-based 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 PDF based on the hardcover edition, you’ll find:

  • Character creation rules to bring your hunter to life and create a cohesive hunting team, including fourteen ready-to-go hunter types ranging from the Snoop to the Spooktacular, the Monstrous to the Divine.
  • A stand-alone system based on the easy-to-use Powered by the Apocalypse engine.
  • Eight core moves to investigate and deal with monsters.
  • Thorough mystery-creation tools and two ready-to-play mysteries.
  • Example monsters like Balkan vampires, ghouls, and spore trolls.
  • Rules options to expand the scope and change the flavor of your game to fit the weekly monster story you’ve always wanted to see, including phenomena-type mysteries and alternative weird abilities.

Grab the fireplace poker and open your spell book. That monster’s going down!

Contains PDF based on the hardcover edition, and ePub (Nook) and mobi (Kindle) formats from the softcover edition, plus the handouts.

What's New in This Version?

With the hardcover edition of Monster of the Week, we’ve added in a little bit extra to the existing material from the revised softcover edition—24 additional pages in all.

From The Tome of Mysteries supplement, we’ve added rules options for alternative weird basic moves, phenomenon-type mysteries, and an alternative, more flexible investigate a mystery move. We’ve also incorporated all of the special Luck moves from Tome of Mysteries for this book’s playbooks that didn’t have them previously.

We’ve also brought in two additional playbooks that previously existed only as online downloadables: the Snoop and the Spooktacular.

If you already own the revised Monster of the Week and the Tome of Mysteries supplement you’ve already got what you need!

I would love to see a phone version of the PDF books for Monster of the Week, the hardcover edition, Codex of Worlds and Tome of Mysteries. The Kindle, Epub and Mobi versions are good but they don't keep formatting as well as a PDF. You get things like bbbb instead of boxes for harm like there should be. Confused the heck out of me until I figured out it was supposed to be the boxes instead of bbbb.

"i'm unable to unzip the Additional Materials file from my phone. I've tried downloading the Zip file from DTRPG several times, with the same result. I'm able to unzip other files, so I'm pretty sure it's the file. Anyone else encounter this problem? It's the Hardcover Additional Materials Zip file. Thanks for any and all help.

Hey, this is Sophie on behalf of Fred: For the ePubs, I found that I had to download them to my phone first, then manually unzip them.

I wonder if what's throwing some readers' unzipping off the happy path is the presence of two identical files: playbooks/Monster of the Week PC Playbooks - Consolidated - Default Setting.pdf has been added to the zip archive TWICE.

(repro path: I'm on a macbook using 7z+bash to unzip things)

7za l Monster_of_the_Week_Hardcover_Edition_Additional_Materials.zip | grep -v '__MACOSX' | grep 'Default Setting.pdf'

results of list command:

2023-02-10 13:02:00 ..... 3185591 1791773 playbooks/Monster of the Week PC Playbooks - Consolidated - Default Setting.pdf
2023-02-10 13:02:00 ..... 3185591 1791773 playbooks/Monster of the Week PC Playbooks - Consolidated - Default Setting.pdf

When this dopplefile trys to unzip, 7za prompts the user ("Would you like to replace the existing file:" etc etc) but this could be erroring out other apps.

I already have the physical copy of the book, do I need to purchase this again for the additional content or just the tome of mysteries?

I want to mention that it’s great customer service to update the PDF to the Hardcover Edition for free (and publish updates in general). That’s the kind of thing that makes me buy books when I’m on the fence, just to support the publisher.

Hey Fred
Will this edition get a v2.1 facelift update, to bring it in-line with the new HC book?
Ref: https://evilhat.com/product/monster-of-the-week-hardcover/

Or will there be a separate v2.1 edition PDF we need to repurchase?

I've downloaded the epub again, but it has the same issue. The TOC is fine up to "Ely Holbeck, Bartender".

Then, it displays "Decide who has the initiative", "Use The Environment", "Make Maps" and "APPLY WEAPON TAGS" as sub-chapters to "Ely Holbeck, Bartender".

And that's it.


Can you reproduce this on your side?

Ah, hell. No, you're right. No idea why the guy who made those for us back in 2015 let that slide, but it's *also* the first time in 7 years someone's reported the issue to us, which says something about how much use the format gets. I'll try to get fixing it onto a task-list for us (tho that list runs deep)!

Might've been a tweak or two to the handouts PDFs associated with the main book. There hasn't been anything particularly significant done in years.

Hi Kelly, yep, Monster of the Week works with 2 PCs. The show Supernatural is a great example of what a 2 Hunter group can look like.

Question: it says "for 3-5 people." Is this a hard-and-fast thing, or are one-on-one and/or solo games possible? If possible, how possible?

Hi Evan, sorry for missing this post earlier. You can definitely play Monster of the week with a single player and single GM. I would scale some of the mystery threats back a bit (as they are generally designed for group) but otherwise there's nothing stopping you from playing with a solo monster hunter.

The bestiary isn't extensive, but the game teaches you how to make monsters!

Eingescanntes Buchformat
Diese eBooks wurden durch einen tatsächlichen Scan eines gedruckten Exemplars dieses Buches erstellt; das Ergebnis wurde dann in ein PDF umgewandelt. Jede Seite wurde durch eine Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Software analysiert, um den gedruckten Text zu erkennen. Das Ergebnis des OCR-Vorgangs wurde dann unsichtbar auf den Seiten platziert, damit du den Text durchsuchen kannst. Trotzdem kann es vorkommen, dass Text vor manchen Hintergründen sowie an Handschriften angelehnte Schriftarten nicht von der OCR-Software erkannt wurde - diese Texte können leider nicht durchsucht werden. Ähnliches gilt für einige besonders dicke Bücher, die umgewandelt werden mussten und daher keinen durchsuchbaren Text enthalten. Einige besonders alte und vergriffene Bücher können sogar nur in Form eingescannter Bilder angeboten werden.

Diese eBooks wurden direkt aus einer elektronischen Original-Datei erstellt und sind daher komplett durchsuchbar. Auch ihre Datei-Größe ist meist deutlich kleiner als die von Büchern, die eingescannt werden mussten. Die allermeisten neueren Bücher liegen in originär elektronischer Form vor.
