André Toulon is a kindly old puppet maker. For reasons unknown, he has an ancient papyrus scroll with the secret to imbuing inanimate objects (specifically puppets...but I don't see any rules that it wouldn't work with toasters and couches) with life. When he sees two (maybe?) SS officers coming to capture him, he kills himself to avoid his secrets getting into the hands of the (Nazis?)
Humanity has now been spared the horror of Hitler fighting WWII with sentient puppets, only to have a douchey occultist named Neil take the power of immortality for himself. For reasons unknown, he lures some psychic subcontractors that he never paid, out to his sham funeral with the express purpose of killing them one-by-one. Why kill them? Who cares? All that matters is that his puppets are adorable and sometimes kill people. Maybe because they have no choice? Maybe because they feel like it. It's all kind of unclear. Don't worry. There's 12 sequels to help you make sense of it.
So put on your officially licensed Full Moon Blade costume, hug your officially licensed Full Moon Six Shooter doll close, and join Matt and Tristan for the endlessly entertaining Full Moon marketing opportunity that is, Puppet Master.
