Sherrydown Enquirer 2: Cold Snap

Something's not right in the Rosebrier Forest. The woodland preservation team's surveys are all wrong for the season. The fae community's rituals are failing. And something relentless and primæval, prematurely awoken from millennia of deathly slumber, advances on the forest's heart, spreading killing frost with every step. Can the hunters reset the cycle of the seasons before England is plunged into eternal winter?

This issue of the Sherrydown Enquirer contains everything you need to run the mystery Cold Snap, as played on the Merely Roleplayers podcast, for your Monster of the Week roleplaying group. What will your players do differently from the Merely Roleplayers cast?

The Enquirer is also an in-world artifact from Sherrydown, the setting of Merely Roleplayers' Main House production, Vigil. Your diligent Enquirer is a concerned citizen who's noticed strange things happening in Sherrydown. But how to wake up their oblivious neighbours to this unsettling truth? Only an unofficial community newsletter has that power!

Monster hunting in the UK

Sherrydown is an original setting for Monster of the Week games, originally created for Merely Roleplayers. This Middle England market town boasts cobbled streets, family-run pubs, medieval ruins, and pristine ancient woodland. But the sins of England are just as ancient. Built atop the bones of the past, and undermined by the austerity politics of the present, only your hunters stand between Sherrydown and total collapse.

The PDF contains:

• Cold Snap, a mystery for use with the roleplaying game Monster of the Week by Michael Sands
• Lore to help you set your roleplaying games in Sherrydown, Brackshire, the setting of Merely Roleplayers' Main House production, Vigil
• 16 pages, formatted to work with assistive devices

To run Cold Snap for your gaming group, you will also need a copy of the roleplaying game Monster of the Week by Michael Sands. Monster of the Week is copyrighted by Evil Hat Productions, LLC and Generic Games.
