Monster of the Week - Hunter's Journal

STEP INTO THE SPOTLIGHT

Every good hunter knows the key to tackling a tough mystery is teamwork. But sometimes,
you want to delve into your own story.

The Hunter’s Journal lays out a new series of personalized threats, story beats, and entanglements. These hunter stories will push your character to the limit, redefine and expand who they are, and reshape how they think of themselves.

Crack open the Journal and pick one of your playbook’s hunter stories—there’s two for every one of the thirty-three official Monster of the Week playbooks—and a framework of tools stands ready to get the action started.

Whether you’re a Chosen trying to escape their destiny or a Professional being headhunted by a rival agency, the Hunter’s Journal offers up customizable entry points, hunter choices, and resolution moves for every player to tailor to their specific tastes.

On the Keeper side, each hunter story comes with threats, phenomena, locations, and a countdown to keep the drama moving. Plus there’s dedicated guidance on crafting and adapting your own hunter stories if inspiration takes you down a different road.

Inside you’ll find advice covering various issues that can crop up in play, hunter-specific principles to make sure every team member faces engaging and relevant challenges, and ways to rethink and expand each playbook.
