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."
