A collage picture of the Monster of the Week TTRPG illustration showing multiple monsters and characters from the game, the Questbook logo of a orange-scale druidic figure with "Questbook" written underneath, and a screenshot of me (Ruby) during my last Monster of the Week live stream for KiwiRPG Week last year, sitting in my streaming setup with the KiwiRPG logo underneath my picture.

A screenshot of the event page that reads "Saving the world, one convention at a time. A legally distinct Monster of the Week adventure where fictional fan favourites come to life at sundown, protecting the world from terrifying threats from other legally distinct pop culture dimensions. Join the special guest cast as they dive into a TTRPG world not too different from our own, guided by Questbook Storyteller Ruby Kemp. Tackling the monstrous and mundane alike as the protectors of the Apocalypse Convention Centre, watch the adventure unfold with almost familiar characters like Professor How, The Bulk, and That One Lady From That Show In The '90s. Come laugh, gasp, and maybe even have the chance to break through the fourth wall and help our heroes save the day! Monster of the Week is an iconic New Zealand-created TTRPG from game designer Michael Sands."

Another screenshot of the event page that reads "This is a live TTRPG show at Armageddon, featuring a cast of Armageddon’s special guests from across the nerdy universe. Some may be seasoned adventurers, others might be rolling their very first dice, but either way, it’s going to be chaotic, unpredictable, and an absolute blast. Special guest cast includes: Robbie Daymond Chandler Riggs Ross Marquand TBC 10.30am Main Stage Sunday 5th April"

✨️It's time for yah girl's first on-stage TTRPG live show✨️

In a truly wild turn of events, I'm taking over the main stage to run a Monster of the Week live show at Armageddon Expo this year, with a bunch of awesome special guests!

Namestorming "Naming things is hard" -some gaming guru on a mountain top, hundreds of years ago, probably Coming up with names for things is hard, particularly when (like us) you play collaborative creative games...

Naming things in games can really slow things down.

We needed to come up with a lot of names during our playtest of This Means War, so we tried a different approach to take the pressure off.

I won’t even believe it if I see it.

The tendency to attribute intelligence is the human brain trap that makes people think this way.

Monster Camper is a solo journaling game.
You used to be human but now you're a little bit monstrous. It's becoming a bit of a problem. So, to tame it or become one with it you're going solo camping!

A tidy and well organised pantry *is also* an important goal.

Off to local con Kapcon tomorrow. Looking forward to some Glorious playtests, trying new games, and catching up with my con friends.

So i want to write a worldbuilding game about being an ethnographer in a dungeon full of undead. As a way of fleshing out the history of a place and also maybe an extant culture of undead

Cool idea. Please make it!

Three books for the Monster of the Week roleplaying game.

LGS finally got these in for me. Let the hunt begin! #ttrpg #ttrpgsky #rpg @evilhat.bsky.social @chrishanrahan.bsky.social @michaelsands.bsky.social @deadlyfredly.bsky.social #MonsteroftheWeek #MotW

The cover of a book called Play Unsafe, labelled 20th Anniversary Edition.

This makes me very, very happy. I've spent a happy few days reading it, tweaking it and remembering how good it is.

Yes it's been that long.
