I was re-reading one of the Dresden books (mining it for MotW ideas), and I was thinking that "The Crusader" would be a good playbook, so you could put together a character like Michael (or one of the other Knights of the Cross).  Then, upon consideration, I realized that you could pretty easily build a Knight of the Cross using The Divine playbook.

I love this game.

It looks likely that I'm going to be running a one-shot or two for some friends, and I think I could talk them into Monster of the Week.  So if you're still looking for folks to run your new mystery (particularly if you want to see if it'll work for a first-time MotW GM), I'd love to see it.

They've made a fan for life of me, that's for sure.  I was up-front about the fact that I was getting a very small batch made, and was floored by how much time they spent with me just the same.  The guy I was working with even went to the trouble of producing a sample die, so I could see an image of what I would actually be getting if I placed an order.  Truly staggering.

That's a *really* neat twist.  I immediately begin wondering if the reality of monsters is genuinely new, or if it's something that goes in cycles.  So, yeah, *some* of those old books will have accurate information -- and some will be flat-out superstition.  Hope you picked the right ones, bud, because that door isn't going to hold the ghouls back for much longer.

I look forward with great interest to game reports and more setting information.

The Daredevil Move doesn't say anything at all about taking harm on a success, except in the option that says "You don't suffer harm in return."  Which implies that you *do* take harm in return if you don't choose that option.  In the absence of the don't-take-harm-in-return option in the Signature Move, I wasn't sure if return harm was or wasn't assumed.  True, if I hadn't read the Daredevil Move, I wouldn't have wondered if return harm might be implied in the Signature Move.

Regardless: no automatic return-harm in the Signature Move, but there *is* harm in return unless you take the option that negates it in the Daredevil Move; harm will elsewhere be explicit.  Many thanks!

on a related topic, is a large version of the image of the toothy monster that's on the MotW dice available anywhere? I'd love to have one to decorate my GM screen with.

It is not, but I'll email you a link to it if you like.

(1) There are Monster of the Week dice?  I don't suppose any more are available, are there?
(2) You wouldn't be willing to share the link to the image more widely, would you?

(Humorously, I stumbled across a site that will do laser-engraved custom dice in small batches, and I was considering having a bunch made up for my game group if the price wasn't too astronomical.  However, there was nothing I could find as an iconic image for Monster of the Week except for the toothy monster image, so I was thinking about that.  And then I come back to this thread to find that, behold, dice with that symbol on them isn't such an original idea.)

EDIT: Just went to look at the Indiegogo page, and see that the dice were of extremely limited edition, so it's unlikely that any are around.  Also, I was thinking it was the larger image with just the eyes and teeth.  That would look great printed in white on the face of a black die.

Many thanks, good sir.  I'll go fetch them and see if they make Inkscape any happier.
