Pod People from Mars!

Pod People from Mars! is an adventure for The Monsters Are Our Heroes by Fainting Goat Games. I want to start by saying that cover is awesome! An homage to may classic movies with a monstrous spin. The pdf is 12 pages (counting cover and OGL). 

The story is a combination of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and War of the Worlds. The adventure is five scenes that see your monsters go face to face against both pod people and a Martian tripod. It's a prime example of what an adventure for The Monsters Are Our Heroes should be. A group of monsters come together and face off against a different kind of inhuman foe hellbent on taking over the world and preying on humanity.

It's a well written and fun adventure. Jacob Blackmon did a fantastic job with this one and if you play TMAOH, you need to grab it (which you can do here).

The Monsters Are Our Heroes (Now With Bonus Content)

I've already reviewed the extremely fun horror game The Monsters Are Our Heroes here. The project smashed its print run Kickstarter goal and now that version and the pdf has even more content. The new version of the pdf has everything I mentioned before and a short adventure written by me. 

The Rise of Malachai is a short (four encounter) adventure that can be used as a one shot or inserted into a regular campaign. It sees our monstrous heroes investigating a rash of disappearances in a nearby state forest. It features shambling corpses, hodags, and an undead puritan... everything you need for a good time. 

If you haven't picked up the pdf already, you can snag it here. 

Destination: Uncharted Kickstarter

 Destination: Uncharted, despite the name, is not a new reality show on Discovery or the Travel Channel. No, Destination: Uncharted is the newest game from Bloat Games. 

Think of this game as the table top version of Uncharted, Indiana Jones, The Mummy, or Tomb Raider. It's designed to be a comedic action-packed romp. It will use the Hack the RPG ruleset, making it totally compatible with Valor Knights: The Electrocube War and The Monsters Are Our Heroes. 

The project has a quick turn around time (5 days) and has already funded, with 3 days left. While no official comment has been made, I may or may not be contributing to the project. 

Check out the project here and considering backing it.

Character Creation Challenge - Day 1 (A Day Late)

 I'm a day late and already playing catch up, but I'm going to take part in the character creation challenge. I'm going to try to make characters using different systems, though I can't guarantee I have 31 different systems.

For my first I'm going The Monsters Are Our Heroes, currently seeking funding on Kickstarter.

Class: Monster

DEX:  CON:  +2 CHA: -2

Luck: 4

Abilities: 

• Overcoming Lonliness - When encounting another golem like himself, he gains Advantage on all tasks for the next hour.
• Unusually Strong - Advantage on all feats of Strength tests.

Description: El Monstruo Enmascarado is a flesh golem created by La Hija Del Frankenstein (who may or may not be Frankenstein's actual daughter). Created from the bodies of Mexico's greatest luchadors, he was created to be the ultimate fighter. However, the inherent nobility of the technicos used to create him infused the monster will a desire to protect humanity. While he's not the most personable or intelligent creature, he is kind and has a heart of gold (well actually he has two of them).
