The Signal

The Signal is a Monster of the Week TTRPG Horror Module ideal for 2 to 6 players plus Game Master (GM).

There’s always been a strange radio signal drifting through the static—repeating the same pattern, never changing. Locals don’t give it much thought. Some say it’s an old Cold War broadcast looping endlessly. Others say it’s just the background noise of life in this quiet town. Familiar. Predictable. Safe.

Until now.

The signal has shifted—its once-reliable rhythm disrupted. And that change has caught the attention of the Hunters United Guild. They’ve seen this kind of thing before. They believe it’s a warning, the first ripple of something dark about to surface.

They need your help. Find out what changed. Fix it—if you can.

The source? They think it’s coming from the island.

The island.

The one shrouded in fog and silence. The one no one visits, and no one mentions.

You’ll have to go there.

And you might not all come back.

The Signal is a tightly written, atmospheric one-shot for Monster of the Week, designed for a modern horror setting. Inspired by the early seasons of Supernatural, Riverdale, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, it offers suspense, mystery, and a touch of the uncanny.

With 14 pages of detailed Game Master notes and story hooks, it’s easy to run whether you’re a first-time Game Master or a seasoned veteran.
