From the introduction: Peasants... in a World of Monsters is a tabletop role-playing game where a group of up to six players take on the role of peasants facing a supernatural monster against which they have no hope of defeating. If they’re clever, however, they might survive the monster or escape to warn real adventurers. One person assumes the role of the Game Master, and handles the pacing of the monster’s attacks and adjudicates the players’ actions. A session of Peasants... in a World of Monsters is meant to serve as one evening’s entertainment. You will need print-outs of the character sheets (included in the game document), the scenario you’re using, pencils, and a handful of 6-sided dice.
