Description

A TTRPG for people who understand that Frankenstein was the real monster!

Frankenmonster Creaturestein is a 36-page, fully illustrated table top RPG suitable for groups of for 4-6+ people (including the GM).

Somewhere in 19th century Europe, a feckless Rogue Scientist has wrought havoc with their self-indulgent experiments! Amongst their mistakes are you, the Monsters, chaotic assemblages of beastial, mechanical, and alchemical body parts. As the Rogue Scientist is driven from their lair by the Mob, it's up to you to follow a series of Connections to prevent whatever terrible plans are in motion!

Frankenmonster Creaturestein's mechanic revolves around your Body Parts, each of which corresponds to a particular Skill. The more Body Parts you have corresponding to a Skill, the better you are at it! 

You'll create your Monsters using the surrealist artistic exercise of the Exquisite Corpse, and from there you can trade Body Parts with your comrade Monsters to optimise and strategise, lean more towards being a monstrosity or a human, and face off against terrible Adversaries!

To play the game you only need:

  • At least twelve six-sided dice.
  • Pencils and paper to record notes (we recommend using the Monster Sheet)
