One Night One Monster

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

One d12 runs the entire game. No dice pools, no complicated math. One die, one roll, one answer.

Characters in ten minutes. Pick one of eight Archetypes, roll your starting cash, and you're playing. 

No leveling. Ever. Every adventure we ever publish is playable by any group, in any order. Miss a session? Nothing to catch up on. New player joins? They're equals on night one.

Fear that follows you. Fail to hold your nerve, and you'll carry phobias out of one adventure and into the next. Your character sheet becomes a scar record. 

Trade the Lore Master's chair. Because every adventure is fully self-contained, your group can swap who runs the game each session. No one is stuck behind the screen forever. Everyone gets to play. Everyone gets to be afraid.

Adventures

THE LONG HUNGER AT CALDER DEEP

Your client is Roy Eberhardt. His fourteen-year-old daughter, Nessa, walked out of the house three nights ago and did not come back. She is the fourth person to vanish in Cold Ash this winter, and the sheriff has stopped pretending to look. Roy begged you to come before the snow closes the road for good.

THE BRIDGE AT GLASGOW HOLLOW

Six weeks ago, long-haul trucker Vernon Pryce drove off the Glasgow Hollow Bridge into the black water of the Coalwater River on a clear, dry night. The sheriff called it an accident. His widow, Marlene, might have believed that—if the calls hadn't started.

WHAT WAS KEPT

Stretch Goals

STRETCH GOAL #1 - $10,000 - ARTIST BONUS (UNLOCKED)

One Night One Monster wouldn't exist without the three incredible artists who brought its monsters and visual atmosphere to life. When we reach this Stretch Goal, every artist on the team will receive a 20% bonus on top of their original rate for all the artwork they produced for this book.

STRETCH GOAL #2 - $15,000 - BONUS ADVENTURE: THE RITE OF THE UNBODIED (UNLOCKED)

Nine days ago, a fire at the Candlewood Retreat left nine bodies burned beyond recognition. They were taken to Ferren & Sons Funeral Home, where Edgar Ferren has spent his life caring for the dead. Now his night attendant is missing, a cold storage drawer keeps opening, and his wife is calling from the casket showroom. He buried her years ago.

STRETCH GOAL #3 - $20,000 - APPENDIX-STYLE BESTIARY (UNLOCKED)

We will add all monster stat blocks to the back of the book. 

STRETCH GOAL #4 - $30,000 - BONUS ADVENTURE: THE WITHERWOOD (UNLOCKED)

For generations, a ring of iron stakes kept the Witherwood at bay outside of Grafton. This summer, two men sold thirty of those stakes for scrap. Now, roots are lifting kitchen floors inside Grafton. Four days ago, Theo Blackaby went into the woods with a hammer and some stakes to mend the line. His grandmother heard him screaming for three nights. Last night, he went quiet. She says he can still be saved, but he has to come out before the frost. Frost is forecast before dawn.

This PDF adventure will initially be delivered through Kickstarter's digital file delivery system. Once we have released it to retail, we will also send out a DriveThruRPG download link to all backers. Estimated delivery date is late October. 

STRETCH GOAL #5 - $40,000 - BONUS ADVENTURE: THE VANE HOUSE (UNLOCKED)

The Marshes bought the house on Beacon Row for sixty-two thousand dollars at auction. Six weeks later, Paul is going grey, Dana barely leaves, and their daughter has been recording the upstairs hallway changing shape. The videos turn to static whenever she takes her phone off the property. Their eight-year-old son, Milo, has a new friend who whispers through the vent in his bedroom. It asked him to stay forever. Milo said yes. Across the street, a woman who has watched eleven families move into that house over her lifetime wants you to get this one out before it's too late.
