I swear I posted this but I can’t see it on here. Anyways, after watching Beetlejuice I was inspired to hash out a quick Skin. The Macabre, something like an alternative for the Mortal, a bit of a medium, a little bit of a spooky kid.
My job keeps me busy, not like, “phew, what a day busy”, like, “I’m going to which continent now?” busy.

But I have eight days. So I ask you, who wants me to make a campaign setting for Apocalypse World 2 about hunting giant monsters?
If I get enough interest, I’m on it.
Hello gang!
Hello gang!
I rarely get time off work, but I have a few days off, so I’m thinking of converting the best Monsterhearts campaign I ever ran into something other people can play. Do you think this sort of thing is wanted? Here, this is the start of my conversion. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Hey gang, just a quick one:
Hey gang, just a quick one:
What monsters other than the original set have you played?
It can be a whole new skin, or just a case of saying you’re something else, I don’t mind.
When your girlfriend accidentally Monsterhearts: “You know.
When your girlfriend accidentally Monsterhearts: “You know… When our bodies are skin on skin I still want to pull you closer.”
Has anyone said anything in your life lately that reminded you of Monsterhearts?
Okay so I’m making a setting for AW2, it’s about giant monsters.
Okay so I’m making a setting for AW2, it’s about giant monsters.
This is one of the core moves involved with it:
HIT THE SWEET SPOT
When you hit the sweet spot, roll+hard.
On a 10+, deal your harm.
On a 7-9, deal your harm and prepare for the worst. MC, shift to red.
So having got on top of a giant monster and found its weak point, it’s eyes, some acid carrying sack, you hack that thing to pieces! No where else but the sweet spot does any lasting damage. In the fiction you might even be able to blow a hole in it, but only the sweet spot matter when it comes to killing it.
On a 10+, you start whittling away at its health, might take two goes at it, but I want the fight to end swiftly once you battled your way past the flame-breath and the falling buildings. Advanced moves will provide more flavour to this roll, but I want it to be on point for the basic.
On a 7-9, you still hurt it, but it throws you off, or the thing covers you in bile, or your weapon snaps.
Now the final bit, MC, shift to red. All the giantmonsters have three states [yellow], [red] and [black].
Yellow covers the general monsters.
Red is a berserker rage, a charging of powers, a metamorphosis into something more sinister. They’re harder to kill, and always shocking.
Black is how it behaves near death. At this point it’ll wear down its own health, which I think will be thematically cool, like you can swarm and ankle bite them to death if you’ve got the time and resources.
I’m still tinkering with how you make a giant monster, but they’re not going to be DnD stat-blocks, more like acting prompts and vague abilities.
Thoughts on the move?
A game.
A game. Put your music on shuffle. Create a move named after the music you’re listening to. Forget balance, whether it’s good or follows the assumed rules. Make the move that is the music.
JESUS CHRIST POSE
When you’re cornered, captured, or shit out of luck, roll+weird.
On a 10+, you are naked revelation, choose 2.
On a 7-9, you say a bunch of prophetic garbage, choose 1.
– They don’t hurt you.
– Your pit, dead-end, cell, whatever, grants you augury, right now.
– You gain sympathy from one of your enemy’s number.
– You take +1-armour forward.
On a 6-, you reveal something really useful to them, as if they’d opened their brains to great success.
Alongside my 66 billion unfinished projects I also add: HUMONGOUS.

A setting for Apocalypse World 2. About hunting giant monsters.
The finished product will use the same fonts as AW2, a tiny smattering of art, like I’m talking front cover and maybe three more, by me, who ain’t no artist, and obviously, a lot more content than I’m showing off here.
For now, have a google doc, for free. Oh, speaking of free, I’m thinking of trying to sell something for the first time in my life (maybe), with a price range of £0.25 to $2, if I’m feeling dangerous.
So this is what I’m going to do.

Apocalypse World +2
Inexplicable marriage of steam punk and Mad Max world overrun by giant monsters.
The characters are hunters, reminiscent of whale hunters. They sell the fat and oil from the beasts.
Tell me the most outlandish METAL thing you can think of to put in this setting.
Has anyone ever made a complete, or at least useable, Zombie World?
Has anyone ever made a complete, or at least useable, Zombie World? I hear rumblings from time to time, and I encourage anyone posting here about making one, but I’ve yet to see any results.
I suppose the zombie fad is over, until it rises again, as always, but I’ve got an itch to play a survivor.
