Monster of the Week
I ran it for the first time last night, and it was a riot.
I made a Christmas-based mystery based on the song “Grandma got run over by a Reindeer.” The party were all to be friends and relatives of the deceased (a retired hunter herself).
Right out of the gate, one hunter ran off into danger and the other two got abducted by The Renfield. I hardly had to lift a finger. They made it through ingenuity, and some godly rolling by The Flake’s player.
Highlight
The Flake: The kids are safe
The Chosen: Good! We got him on the ropes, help!
The Flake: Nah
Flake Player: I get an XP for that, right?
DM (Me): Yup
… fight continues, baddy is about to drop …
The Flake: Alright, time to rock and roll!
DM: Nope.
Flake Player: Wha?
DM: You did a move to get XP for staying out. You gotta stay out.
Other Players: LOL
Lowlight
Me: Ok, so this is a comedy/horror mystery based on the awful Christmas Carol, “Grandma got run over by a Reindeer.”
Players: We’re not really familiar with that.
Me: !?

I think I found a new set of players, and I might run it again this coming Monday.
