Short answer: I fucking love it.

Long answer comes later.

Ow man, I thought this was going to be something like Book of Erotic Fantasy!

Grim! Pimp your new game! Let's hear all about it. Love the concept.

See you're going for the mass market with the title! :)

Can I get it POD via Amazon?

It's good to hear there's now an RPG for replicating the experience of being a monster(s) in a horror movie, but I'm still bummed there isn't an RPG yet for supernatural soap opera series in the 18-30+ demographic. Rosemont Bay seemed great in theory, but the author lost his mind and it died.

I drop f-bombs 100+ times a day, but there's just something so...juvenile about putting cuss words in book titles.
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

And here I thought it was going to be something about RPG.net mods.

A nice education blog.

Kinda like when garbage tier 'news' sites like Buzzfeed put them in their headlines.

Agreed, but it is better than copping out with "frakking" or "effing" or something silly like that.  If you gotta do it, go big or go home.

Grim, why no Kickstarter?

Agreed. Venger Satanis did it with his quite good Gamemaster like a Fucking Boss and I don't see it as a net positive for sales.

I agree about the name seeming juvenile.

I looked at the review by AaronThePedantic posted here. I'm curious how the concept works with a party of multiple PCs. Do the players work together at all, as a team-up of monsters? Or does most of the action happen with them split up?

I've played a few bad-guy games - but they were more as criminal teams rather than horror-movie monsters.

I had someone ask me that on the post, and I tried to answer. The book gives recommendations on how they start together and it seems to be just better for their survival that they work together, knowing that humans basically want them dead. That said, the nature of how they feed makes it seem as though there will be some significant time spent split up, so time management is going to be important. Hope that helps.

Sounds like a darker version of Clive Barker's Nightbreed, or going for Kathryn Bigelow's Near Dark feel or perhaps Rob Zombie's Devil's Rejects.

I'd probably go the Devil's Rejects route where the hunters are just as bad as the monsters and live in a twisted symbiosis.

Might be fun as a one-shot.

Somebody poke Grim!

I just learned Fate of Cthulhu by Evil Hat had a SENSITIVITY CONSULTANT for their book. :eek: LOL. What fucknuts.

I gotta know Grim, was Actual Fucking Monsters approved by a Sensitivity Consultant before you published it?

I gotta know, is it safe to read??? :D
