Have you played HERE, THERE, BE MONSTERS !

by Wendi Yu

here, there, be monsters! is a rules-lite response to monster-hunting media from the monsters' point of view. It's both a love letter and a middle finger to stuff like Hellboy (and the BPRD), the SCP Foundation, the Men in Black, the World of Darkness games and the Urban Fantasy genre in general.

It is an explicitly queer, antifascist and anti-capitalist game about the monstrous and the weird, in any flavor you want, not as something to be feared, but to be cherished and protected.

Play as a diverse crew of monstrous, anomalous or just generally odd beings, fighting against those who would use, abuse or even annihilate you. reate and populate your own supernatural underworld, abnormal gang and extra-dimensional haven. Hunt monster hunters! Punch nazi occultists! Eat the rich! Protect each other! Fight back! Here, there, be monsters!

One of the most recent issues I've realized in ttrpg design I'm seeing when I look into new systems is the idea of Goals. This isn't to say games like Mouse Guard and Shattered Neon aren't good, but moreso that they have a glaring issue with Goals: people do NOT know how to write a goal to save their life. And like, I can't blame anyone for that. We live in a world its hard to think of what you'll eat tomorrow, much less what Leo the Serpenteater is wanting to do.

I'm not sure what solution to this is best. OSR stuff and AD&D tend to map goals to character levels so players know roughly what their character should want to do at any one time, ie "At level 9 a fighter can expect to try to make their own castle or barony". Mouse Guard notes very specifically that Goals are things that you could complete in one session. In Shattered Neon I did the opposite. Goals are instead Ambitions. Things your character strives towards but knows they may never actually achieve.

I don't think any of these approaches are perfect, but it is interesting to see how each approaches "how do you set a goal?" question people will have differently. Yet another example of why you need to play or read multiple games to make a good ttrpg.

When you find yourself somewhere new, roll+sharp. On a hit, you can ask the MC questions. Whenever you act on one of the MC’s answers, take +1. On a 10+, ask 3. On a 7–9, ask 1: • How do I work this? • Where is that large automobile? • What is that beautiful house? • Where does that highway go to? • Am I right? Am I wrong? • My God! What have I done? On a miss, ask 1 anyway, but the water holds you down.
