Check the announcement thread for a new wheel, Urban Legends!
You've been busy fighting monster from Ancient Greece and the Far East. But it's important to pay attention to what might be lurking in your own backyard. Monsters can be found in your local woods or even on the train during your morning commute.
Remember, you can spin for monsters from any wheel, just no more than 5 monsters at a time. The tasks are in the Master List of Tasks spreadsheet on the tab labeled Urban Legends.
