The 36

The 36 are a group of normal people living across earth. They aren't special in anyway, except, just by existing, they keep the continuity of the universe in order.

## Origins

The 36 are adapted from the Tzadikim Nistarim (Hebrew: צַדִיקִים נִסתָּרים, "hidden righteous ones"), a notion rooted within the mystical dimensions of Judaism. No fewer than 36 righteous people sustain the world in each generation. Their role is to justify the purpose of humanity in the eyes of God.

## MCMHC

In MCMHC, there exists the 36 righteous people who ensure that the universe continues. If one of these individuals is killed, then the universe will unravel, and start again.

### Season 1

CEJ is revealed to be a member of the 36 in Season 1. If he had ever done anything heroic, he would have gained extraordinary powers. Instead, he walked into an Old Navy. He was killed by the Salamanders, and the universe began to unravel.

The Divine

*I am the Light, the Sword. I am sent to defend the meek from Darkness. All Evil fears me, for I am its end*

## Luck Cost

When you spend a point of Luck, you get word your Mission requires something difficult that must be done. By you. Urgently.

## Moves

The Divine gets all the basic moves and three Divine moves.

### Boss from Beyond

At the beginning of each mystery, roll +Weird.

* On a 10+, your Superiors ask you to do something simple.
* On a 7-9, they ask you to do something complicated or difficult. In either case, you get to ask them one of the questions from the investigate a mystery move right now.
* On a miss, you are required to do something terrible. If you do not accomplish what they’ve ordered, you cannot use this move again until you have made up for your failure.

### Angel Wings

You can go instantly to anywhere you’ve visited before, or to a person you know well. When you carry one or two people with you, roll +Weird.

On a 10+ you all go where you wanted.

On a 7-9, you don’t quite manage it. Either you are all separated, or you all appear in the wrong place.

### What I Need, When I Need It

You may store any small object you own, putting it into a magical space nobody can get to. You may retrieve anything you stored at any time; it appears in your hand.

### Smite

Your body and divine weapon always count as a weakness against the monsters you fight. Your unarmed attacks are 2-harm intimate hand messy.

### Soothe

When you talk to someone for a few seconds in a quiet voice, you can calm them down, blocking any panic, anger, or other negative emotions they have. This works even if the thing that freaked them out is still present, as long as your voice can be heard.

### Lay On Hands

Your touch can heal injury and disease. When you lay your hands on someone hurt, roll +Cool.

* On a 10+, heal 2 harm or an illness, plus they’re stabilized.
* On a 7-9, you can heal the harm or illness as on a 10+, but you take it into yourself.
* On a miss, your aura causes them extra harm.

### Cast Out Evil

You may banish an unnatural creature from your presence. Roll +Tough.

* On a 10+ it is banished.
* On a 7-9 it takes a little while for the banishing to take effect—the creature has time to make one or two actions. Either way, the banished creature is unharmed, and you have no control over where it goes. This move may be used on unnatural hunters (e.g. the Monstrous).
* On a miss, something is keeping it here. That’s bad.

Mystery County, Superior

Superior is the 51st state in the United States of America. Superior is made up of Northern Wisconsin and what was the upper peninsula of Michigan. Superior is the home of Mystery County and the town of Haverford, where the Mystery County Monster Hunters Club is active. Superior was founded in 1964. The capital of Superior is Marquette, on the northern coast of Superior.

## History

While there had always been an interest in making the Upper Peninsula into its own state, in the 1960s there was increased dissatisfaction with the representation they were being given. These residents of Michigan petitioned the Michigan state legislature to secede from the State, which was formally recognized at a federal level. A similar effort took place in Wisconsin and the resulting area became the state of Superior.

Superior is the least populated state in the United States. There were successful efforts in the 60s, 70s, and 80s to draw more people to the area, which dramatically changed the demographic makeup of the state compared to the surrounded areas.

Superior has been very welcoming to immigrants and as a result has a large Mung population and Somali population within its borders.

## Government

The sheriffs department was defunded in the mid 90s. Superior relies on an emergency services department consisting of ambulances and fire trucks. For all other matters, the CRAMOs are relied upon to settle disputes in community settings.

## Trivia

* The official state bird of Superior is the mosquito
* The state flag is a white pine tree, green on a blue background
* The zoo in Superior is called "Zooperior"
* Everyone in Superior loves a pasty
* Mystery County has the highest rate of missing persons per year in the United States
Episode 222 - This Meeting Could Have Been An Email, Part 2

## Summary

Squirming in the hot seat, our 3 pseudonymous salamanders try to throw blame off themselves and onto each other as Moly Buttles gets ever closer to pinning down who saved the day, who lost it all, and who is perfect for middle management.

Special thanks to our Patreons for giving us the idea for this very dumb episode, and a huge thank you to Jeff Stormer for making the incredible game Mission Accomplished!

Susan's Lair

Susan's Lair is her personal haven that contains an infirmary, a lore library, and a panic room.

## Infirmary

The infirmary in Susan's Lair gives her the ability to heal allies at an accelerated rate. Two people can occupy the infirmary at a time.

#### Books

* The Mothman Triology - A very old tome written by a priest about the origins of the Mothman. Much of the information is filtered through a Christian moralistic system and not helpful, however, it hypothesizes about the transformation process of human to Mothman, and what may become of the human soul.
* The Monster Manual (D&D) - Unaware that this was part of a game, Susan collected Dungeons and Dragons books that contained monster lore. After learning that she had found a table top gaming book, instead of a useful bestiary, she used it as a fun anecdote at Thanksgiving.

## Panic Room

The panic room is inside of a chest at the foot of the infirmaries bunk beds. It opens up into a small room, large enough for seven people to enter. Susan has decorated it with some cushions, a lantern and some snacks and water bottles. Susan is always remarking that she hasn't quite finished setting it up yet and she and Krashlee brainstorm ways to make it homey.
Episode 239 - Let the Bodies Hit the Snore

## Summary

The Club is back in their feelings and generally bickering, but something feels different about it this time. Could it be that Chadriel's teambuilding exercises have made the Monster Hunters into a more emotionally invested and aware team? Or is Adam just a little baby who needs his dirty diapy changed?

Emotional Conditions

Borrowed from the fantastic game Masks: A New Generation, these emotional conditions are a system of consequences we use in addition to Harm. Any time you can make a Hard Move, you can give your player one of the following conditions:

* Afraid (-2 to Tough)
* Angry (-2 to Cool)
* Guilty (-2 to Charm)
* Hopeless (-2 to Sharp)
* Insecure (-2 to Weird)

This condition sticks to the character ongoing until it's dealt with in-fiction. Mechanically, there are three ways to Deal With the Feels:

### Clearing your own conditions

To temporarily remove a condition's negative modifier on yourself for a scene, act out in some way. For example:

* Lash out (physically or emotionally)
* Cause a scene • Refuse to cooperate
* Tell a lie

### Clearing another character's conditions

Narrate what your character says to offer support or comfort, then roll +Weird.

* On a 10+, you help each other grow. They can remove all conditions, and you can remove one of yours.
* On a 7-9, they can remove one of their conditions, but you need to either:
	+ Admit something embarrassing
	+ Make a bold gesture
* On a 6-, they rebuff you. Take a condition yourself.

To *temporarily* remove all other club members' condition modifiers, Manipulate Someone to rally (and control) the group. Each club member will decide on their own if they go along with it.

The Coherence

The Coherence is an event that takes place when the universe can no longer function as it has, keeping all realities separate from each other. In the events of Season 1 of Mystery County Monster Hunters Club, the Coherence is triggered by the death of one of the essential 36 souls that the universe uses to keep track of itself. As the universe as we know it begins to collapse into a superposition where all possibilities are present and overlapping, everything is in existence at the same time. Everything is; nothing is not. Everything is coherent in that sense of everything could exist. Although as a result, nothing exists.

As this occurs, belief becomes powerful and able to change reality.

When this occurs to The Club, all but Krashlee Grenadine are changed by the Coherence. Krashlee is incoherent. Krashlee is outside of the universal spectrum. She is a fly in the ointment, grit in the clams mouth.

She is the remainder from the division of the universe. Anything that couldn't be worked out in the grand cosmic math of the worlds is cohered into one person. Krashlee Grenadine.

It is revealed by Lailah, that the Coherence is the end of the world, and when it occurs, the world begins again. It happens exactly the same way each time, with Barb Wexler triggering the Coherence in 2005.
