My Cute Monsters
A downloadable game
You and your monster are becoming best friends, but somebody's trying to take them away.
My Cute Monsters is a 2-page tabletop role-playing game for 3 - 6 players, inspired by media like Lilo & Stitch, E. T., and How to Train Your Dragon.
You'll need at least 1 Human, 1 Monster, and a Director.
The game is built on the Apocalypse Engine created by Vincent and Meguey Baker, with a twist. Humans roll dice, monsters eat candies--pulling from a mix of sweets and sours (or chocolates and spicy hearts, etc.)
Interlocking asymmetric mechanics encourage the humans and monsters to interact, making problems for each other, and solving them together.
My Cute Monsters is designed to work as a one shot, but could be expanded to multiple sessions.

A mini-RPG where one part of the players plays monsters, and another part plays the kids who come across them and make friends with them. The idea is cute and well presented, the asymmetrical system is pretty clever, there's just enough for a GM to build a fun game out of it, what more could you want?
Excelent material, in a very short and pretty game, you managed to convey the best traits of a really specific genre. Congrats! Im looking forward to see more designs from you!
Thanks! I'm really glad people seem to like it. I have a few other projects on the go that I'm excited to share when they're ready.
This is one of my favorite genres of movies. I'm so excited to try this out!
Awesome! I love this stuff too. I'd love to hear how your game goes!
