The Monster of the Week product line takes its inspiration from the television trope of the same name: a convention by which a weekly television production might introduce a new freak¸ villain¸ or beastie in every episode¸ allowing the episode's themes and topics to revolve around the latest "big bad." Monster of the Week aims to arm GMs with creatures and villains perfect for such a role. Whether you're looking to populate a memorable encounter or a villainous story arc¸ our Monster of the Week is made for maximum creepfactor and memorable "wow" power!
