The Monster's Playbook

We're an actual play Monster of the Week podcast where the real world crashes into the paranormal over and over and over again.

Hey friends, over the past few years this platform has increasingly become a more divisive and dangerous place. So for the foreseeable, we won’t be posting on here. But don’t worry—the adventure will continue in safer places.💜

Friend of the pod, @Thrythlind, has done some VERY cool work on the upcoming #motw books. We’re so excited to get our hands on the playbooks he created. Learn more about him and @EvilHatOfficial’s backerkit campaign.👇🏻

If you’re trying to trap a god, what do you use as bait? Why, everything, of course. It will take the team’s finest minds to trap the Star King and lure his Princes into battle. We’ve got Thinkers, Bruisers, and everybody has their work cut out for them.

The team has undergone some BIG changes recently. Especially Mark, who now bears the responsibility for the entire Sky Kingdom. Should the team survive this final battle, what will this mean for our lovable weirdo?

The balance of power has changed in a big way. After some MAJOR shifts in the Kingdoms of There it's anybody's guess whether our heroes will be able to pull off their crazy-ambitious plan. It would be a toss-up on the best of days, and these are not the best of days. Listen now!

Uh oh. The Kingdoms of Star and Sky are in all-out war. With the Star King's fearsome new princes, does the rest of There stand much of a chance to fight against him?

We also met the wonderful @thecritshow at Gen Con, and even caught their live show! Our faces still hurt from laughing. Their GM, Rev, was incredibly generous in answering all our con and creator questions. Check out their shows for quality and instructive TTRPG content! (4 of 7)

It's #InternationalPodcastDay! A day to show appreciation for your favorite podcasters. This year we attended GenCon, our first ever con, and spent time with some talented podcasters. So today we wanted to spread some love and tell you a bit about these cool folks... (1 of 7)

Next, the incomparable @shrimpandcrits! We finally met Ian in person and became instant con buddies. The shrimp crew is so down-to-earth and friendly – anytime we need cheering up we just listen to one of their episodes. Go listen for some southern-fried goodness. (3 of 7)

[The Monster's Playbook @MonsterPlaybook]

@critshow Oh no! Wrong tag. Thanks for the heads up!

[The Monster's Playbook @MonsterPlaybook]

Talk about inspiring! We caught several panels from the folks at @BlackwaterDnd at this year’s Gen Con and learned about romance in TTRPGS, mental health, how to combat toxic masculinity and more! Their new series Godkiller is a master class in storytelling. Go listen! (7 of 7)

[The Monster's Playbook @MonsterPlaybook]

@Gmdlcast is another talented crew we met at Gen Con. Their diversity panel shared ways to make the actual play space more inclusive without being appropriative. We can’t wait to talk with them more in the future! Go check out their D&D actual play for a fun time. (6 of 7)
