Stargaze gave a small smile when Tamba admitted she had a point, but it quickly faded when he mentioned that Plexeem was never like this in the past. She had to admit, she was curious as well about Skobeloff's plan. Whatever smile that had appeared at the thought, disappeared as soon as she sensed the magic.
She looks to Skeboloff speaks up, and she speaks, "Maybe we should go and get help--Wait, Skobeloff?!" Her idea was resoundly shot down when Skobeloff just entered into the mine without a care! She sighs, and she quickly follows after him into the mine. Thankfully, she wasn't alone. Tamba went into the mine with her after Skobeloff. She had voiced the very same question that was on Stargaze's mind.
She listened as Skobeloff gave his long answer, and proceeded to light up the mines with Moon Magic. After he pointed out the tracks, she tried to think over what to do as well, and decided to look around their surroundings as well. But...she was not able to notice anything like Skobeloff is.
She then suggests, "Maybe we should go in and check on them? Make sure they're okay?"
Huh, this does intruige me and I might make something up once I read up on how to make a sheet
Oh! Thank you!
Each sheet is a bit different depending on which Archetype you choose. The link to the Monster of the Week Archetypes is in this post: roleplayerguild.com/posts/5644426
Love the History building going on here! That information certainly won’t be used for evil…Muahaha. XD
I’ll wait for at least one more person to show interest before I post the actual game. But I think it’s safe to say that we’ll be using Monster of the Week. ^_^
For now, I have settled on more information for the game and I’d like to share the cursory/surface information that everybody in the setting knows. ^_^
*The leading mascot of the amusement park is Jack the Jackalope, a small tawny jackalope known for his exuberant friendliness and his talent in time management.
*All of Jack’s friends are animals that have horns or antlers, and each friend represents a section of the Theme Park.
*The creator of the Theme Park and these mascots is Peter Greyson. His whereabouts and his condition is unknown and not disclosed to the public.
*Interestingly, any other place that has mascots or animatronics actively avoid using any animal that has horns or antlers. Public opinion assumes it’s avoid legalities of copyright, if not outright simple coincidence or difference in taste.
Moves Connect the Dots: At the beginning of each mystery, if you look for the wider patterns that current events might be part of, roll +Sharp. On a 10+ hold 3, and on a 7-9 hold 1. Spend your hold during the mystery to ask the Keeper any one of the following questions: • Is this person connected to current events more than they are saying? • When and where will the next critical event occur? • What does the monster want from this person? • Is this connected to previous mysteries we have investigated? • How does this mystery connect to the bigger picture?
Often Overlooked: When you act all crazy to avoid something, roll +Weird. On a 10+ you’re regarded as unthreatening and unimportant. On a 7-9, pick one: unthreatening or unimportant. On a miss, you draw lots (but not all) of the attention.
Net Friends: You know a lot of people on the Internet. When you contact a net friend to help you with a mystery, roll +Charm. On a 10+, they’re available and helpful—they can fix something, break a code, hack a computer, or get you some special information. On a 7-9, they’re prepared to help, but it’s either going to take some time or you’re going to have to do part of it yourself. On a miss, you burn some bridges.
Gear Normal: Big knife (1-harm hand) Hidden: Throwing knives (1-harm close many), watchman’s flashlight (1-harm hand)
Introduction Loch is a conspiracy theorist who can frequently be found online under their handle LochMessMonster. They go by they/them pronouns, are somewhere in their late twenties (they refuse to specify), and are from Scotland originally, though again they refuse to specify where. In fact, they give very vague answers when questions directly about their life, if they bother to answer at all, though may volunteer tidbits of inforation randomly in conversation when they're more comfortable with someone. They're not 'rude' so as much as they are aloof, often more focused on what's going on in their own mind rather than people around them... and anyone who's known them for a little will get the feeling there is a lot going on in their mind. However, if they get them talking about something they're interested in, like a puzzle, a mystery or some piece of media that they are currently obsessed with, you'll find their focus indomitable. In particular, they seem to have a fascination with the paranormal that zigzags between adoration and fear.
History
Luck You can mark off a Luck box to either change a roll you just made to a 12, as if you had rolled that; or change a wound you have just taken to count as 0-harm, no matter how bad it was. If your Luck boxes all get filled, you’ve run out of good luck. Okay [] [] [] [] [] [] [] Doomed
(Flake Special: When you spend a Luck, pick an aspect of the current situation. The Keeper will tell you what other conspiracies that aspect is connected to. If that aspect wasn’t part of another conspiracy, it is now.)
Harm When you suffer harm, mark off the number of boxes equal to harm suffered. When you reach four harm, tick “Unstable.” Okay [] [] [] | [] [] [] [] Dying
Unstable: [] (Unstable injuries will worsen as time passes)
Leveling Up Experience: [] [] [] [] [] Whenever you roll and get a total of 6 or less, or when a move tells you to, mark an experience box. When you have filled all five experience boxes, you level up. Erase the marks and pick an improvement from the following list:
Improvements [] Get +1 Sharp, max +3 [] Get +1 Charm, max +2 [] Get +1 Cool, max +2 [] Get +1 Weird, max +2 [] Take another Flake move [] Take another Flake move [] Get a haven, like the Expert has, with two options [] Gain another option for your haven [] Take a move from another playbook [] Take a move from another playbook After you have leveled up five times, you qualify for advanced improvements.
Advanced Improvements [] Get +1 to any rating, max +3. [] Change this hunter to a new type. [] Create a second hunter to play as well as this one. [] Mark two of the basic moves as advanced. [] Mark another two of the basic moves as advanced. [] Retire this hunter to safety. [] Get back one used Luck point.
Loch is now in the character roster in the first post. ^_^
And you know what? This sounds like a fun idea. Never played Monster of the Week, even though I own the book, and I think this would be a cool introduction. I will be part of the crew, if you'll have me!
Planning on playing the Flake. Playing a paranoid conspiracy theorist in what is already a stressful situation sounds like a fun time.
I read the backstory, and that fits with the premise. So, it can work after thinking over it. However, I will say that your character will most likely be the only animatronic in the group of investigators.
