“I’ve done it!” the old man cackles with glee, throwing his hands in the air. “Only I, Dr Frankenstein, the greatest of all scientists, could have done it! The most evil creatures the world has ever known, captured here, puppets for my most magnificent triumph!
The mad doctor sweeps a bony finger past his monstrous prisoners. “Fearsome as you are now, you will soon be little more than cowering children when my machine,” at this, he flourishes his arm dramatically, presenting a cumbrous iron sphere “my work of genius, drains you of all your evil and passes it to what is destined to be my greatest creation… a terror that will shake the world!”
Night of the Monsters is a one-shot for up to six people that flips the classic horror movie trope by putting players in charge of the monsters. The story takes place in a black-and-white world, where Tesla Coils and pitch-fork-wielding villagers coexist with Victorian-era adventure heroes and fantasy heroines.
Featuring a 3-4 hour adventure, 6 playable monsters, and 16 challenging NPCs, "Night of the Monsters!" is a fun and campy adventure, with enough problem-solving and challenging combat for a spooky evening with friends.
