@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.

I am still on the floor when an arm reaches out from the shadows on the couch end and pats the middle cushion: Come sit by me. I go where I am bidden. I gape at her as she forms, legs tucked in at the end of the couch, hair bound in back, working her cuticles. She could vanish into those for an afternoon, so absolute that I wasn’t sure which one of us had disappeared.
