Here, There, Be Monsters!
Description
Here, there, be monsters! is a rules-lite response to monster-hunting media from the monsters' point of view. It's both a love letter and a middle finger to stuff like Hellboy (and the BPRD), the SCP Foundation, the Men in Black, the World of Darkness games and the Urban Fantasy genre in general. It is an explicitly queer, antifascist and anti-capitalist game about the monstrous and the weird, in any flavor you want, not as something to be feared, but to be cherished and protected.
Play as a diverse crew of monstrous, anomalous or just generally odd beings, fighting against those who would use, abuse or even annihilate you. Create and populate your own supernatural underworld, abnormal gang and extra-dimensional haven. Hunt monster hunters! Punch nazi occultists! Eat the rich! Protect each other! Fight back! Here, there, be monsters! Featuring: A simple tag-based system and quick character creation; 100 pre-made character background options to get you started as fast as you want; Collaborative worldbuilding; Dozens of tables with ideas for characters, factions, places and objects; Optional screenwriting-inspired long-term mechanics with focus on character arcs; Simple resolution mechanics based on rolling 2 six-sided dice (2d6); Completely illustrated and colorful layout.
