@ckunzelman.bsky.social wrote about the electric storytelling of We Shall Be Monsters!

If one of the lessons of Frankenstein, and all the derivatives afterward, is that creations are unpredictable to creators, then We Shall Be Monsters is an appropriate inheritor to the legacy. Ironically, the game is fully predictable; players know exactly what qualities they are putting into their creations. How those qualities interact, and how players will use them and the ones they chose beforehand to answer the framing questions of the game, is what makes it feel like the creation is always running away from your control.

Perform mad science with creature-building RPG We Shall Be Monsters

This is what I’m chasing in solo RPGs, and We Shall Be Monsters hits the high notes with the best of them. Controlled chaos, two monsters caught in a melancholic death spiral, bound together for eternity: Now that’s gaming.

The cover shows luxurious blackletter text with a haunting low contrast image of a body lying on a table, ready for a "Mary Shelley moment", if you catch my meaning. In the bottom left corner, in green, it reads "Pines".

In a recent issue of Skeleton Code Machine, @exeunt.press takes a look at what makes @smolghost.bsky.social's We Shall Be Monsters special. Find the rest of the piece over on Substack: buff.ly/sxEvP5B.

Text that reads: We are told, that these parts come with a mixture of desires and ideals that are both our own (as we provide the vitality) but also from the part itself as “even dead flesh holds memory.” It won’t be simply a pair of legs, but legs that have a bit of our own personality in them as well as the personality of the former owner.

Last month, @willjobst.bsky.social was on @theweeklyscroll.com to talk everything games, from the founding of Good Luck Press, to the admiration of Adam Vass, and a flip through of the upcoming Plasmodics! Find episode 305 where ever you find podcasts, and a video version on YouTube!

An image of both Will and Ryan on a call, in which they're wearing the same t-shirt, available on the World Champ Store. The shirt has a guy in a mask surrounded by barbed wire. The design is by Dark Wizard.

Text that reads: With Cli-Fi, I push as far as it can go and see not what post-apocalyptic pessimism we have, but how we'll live after the human era has ended. And in doing like research for this, especially about like bunker dudes and, and preppers, there's this understanding for preppers that it's three days until cannibalism. When the thing happens, whatever it is, it's three days before we are tearing each other apart.

Text that reads: When in reality, we see in disaster zones all the time, people come together, they collaborate, and they work to make life better and easier. And you can find that with like blackouts or like huge snowstorms... this just happens on earth. And so, the perspective of Plasmodics is that it's a shaking off all these ideas we had about what the future should be or what the end of the world should be as the people inhabiting the future.

Arriving Fri from @goodluckpress.co 👣The Dance of Death Bundle - 2 tarot-driven solo RPGs, each complementing the other to create a duet 📚bookmark microRPGs - a collection of 5 games to play in a book 🚙TORQ - a post-apocalyptic RPG where the cars drive fast but cooperation is the rule of the wastes

The Dance of Death Bundle is two games displayed together, Venatores and Belluae. Venatores is black print on a white background. The title is in all caps, vertically, down the spine. Its main image is obscured behind the other game, Belluae, a game of becoming something monstrous by Seb Pines (black and white on a black background, title also in all caps, vertical down the spine). The main image is a monster wrapped in shreds of clothing, holding its arms out.

A fanned-out collection of five bookmarks. Each is a tiny RPG, each has a different vibe - one looks like a map, one looks minimalist, two are pastel, and the one on top is black with white brush strokes for decoration. Its title is "words unsaid, a revision game for one, a spines rpg"

The cover of Torq: Operator manual, rallyraid roleplaying by will jobst. The game is rectangular but oriented horizontally. The title appears in a cream-on-yellow, fat, 70s-inspired font, tipped to imply motion, with the "o" and the "q" extra-round to look like wheels
