Sherrydown Enquirer 5: Quarry

When England's subjects cry out in their hearts for relief, the Hunt will ride out to scour the land of evil.

Life in middle England is getting too weird for most people, and the legendary Hunt is mustering in response. But going by the targets being marked as 'quarry' – by being drenched in bucketfuls of blood that refuses to wash off – the Hunt has quite the broad definition of 'evil'. If it reaches full muster and rides out, everyone the slightest bit leftwards of ordinary mortal might find themselves running for their lives...

This issue of the Sherrydown Enquirer contains everything you need to run the mystery Quarry, 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:

• Quarry, a mystery for use with the roleplaying game Monster of the Week by Michael Sands - complete with monsters, minions, locations, bystanders, and mystery countdown
• Lore to help you set your roleplaying games in Sherrydown, Brackshire, the setting of Merely Roleplayers' Main House production, Vigil
• 13 pages, formatted to work with assistive devices

To run Quarry 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.
