A long time ago, I wrote the first draft of The Company of Monsters, a PbtA rpg in which the players get to be the monthly monsters we make here. You can find it in older patreon posts. I could have finished it, and it would have been... fine, I guess. Mediocre is maybe an uncharitable word. It would have been just another PbtA rpg. But I wanted to make a game that was better than that. Or at least, better than that *for me.* So in between making various other books, I decided to strip it dow...

These are the draft reference sheets for a quick play rules system (ie for one-shots primarily) that is Powered by the Apocalypse with a few Forged in the Dark flourishes. I intend to write self-contained scenarios using these rules, or even simpler versions of them (and rewrite scenarios we've already released, like A Box of Starlight and the Imperial Mine Revolt, for example).
I've been working on the rules for The Company of Monsters again (and a human-centric PbtA game with similar ...

The monthly monster for this June is the meat goliaths. The near-dead gods of a civilization that rules the earth millions of years ago are trying to get their position of power back by stealing meat and blood from us to make new bodies. Yeah, weird.

The fourth issue of our Old-School Essentials monster manual zine is now available for the public to purchase! This represents the culmination of the first year of this quarterly zine. Nine months after the release of issue 1, sales aren't particularly high (because I am bad at self-promotion) but I'm currently working on the next two and still having fun doing it.
The staplebound booklet can be found at Lulu:
Essential Enemies Issue 4 is now done! This marks a full year's run of our quarterly monster manual zine for Old-School Essentials. This issue also features a dungeon!

A little while ago, Nathan did a "make-a-monster" thing on the Instagram account, where people voted on what pieces would make up a monster. This is the result: Golek, the now-reluctant minion of an evil wizard. Can your PCs get him to turn against his master?

The print option for EE3: The Haunted Forest at DriveThruRPG is finally available. It took a long time because the first proof I ordered never showed up and I had to order a second one. The sliver lining here is that since I also ordered a proof of issue four at the same time I know for sure it will be ready to go next month.
