Crawling Under A Broken Moon #16 Review

Crawling Under A Broken Moon #16 is an excellent addition to Umerica and DCC in general. Also, while Umerica is a DCC setting and there is no guarantee that Terra A.D. is Earth's post apocalyptic future, I think the monsters contained within this zine would be very appropriate to most MCC game's too. There are (when you count variations) 20+ new monsters. Each with art, description, and adventure hooks. They are:
  • The Black Cloud - a sort of pollution elemental of smog and such
  • Business Revenant - literal corporate zombies 
  • Cihuateteo - Central American creatures created by a faulty nanovirus
  • Data Elemental - the name says it all
  • Demolishroom and Shroomanoids - Kaiju-like mushroom creature that lives in a symbiotic relationship with small mushroom creatures that benefit from its rampages
  • Frabs - intelligent thieving crabs that have a basic understanding of electronics and sometimes act as merchants
  • Gun Elemental - again, the name says it all
  •  Lion Snakes (adult, cub, two-head variety) - frightening predators (one of which is pictured on the cover)
  • Organic Data MULE (Mobile Ubiquitous LAN Extension) - a sort of template that can be added to normal animals which turns their DNA into repositories of information
  • The Posse of Perception (Tiers 1-5) - a strange cult group, made of humanoids with heads that appear as the five senses
  • Reindire - immortal (and kind of hunky) anthropomorphic reindeer that serve Santa (who is a deity in Umerica)
  • Tru-Pet (3 dog models) - Artifical pets from another dimension
  • Wraith Rider - new type of undead that are essentially Harley versions of the Headless Horseman
As I said earlier, this is a great selection of monsters created by many talented folks. You can and should grab a physical copy here or at least get a digital copy here.

My copy is special because Anna and Diogo signed it. ;P
