Why You'll Love This Game

Cards help the story flow

The outcomes of actions aren’t binary successes or failures, and include mixed successes. When players fail an action, they draw a Major Arcana card that helps them explore the reasons for and consequences of their failure. 

Double life

Players take on the role of monstrous entities, living incognito in the modern world, balancing their monstrous knowledge and capabilities with the mundane.

One shots that slot into any play group

Mon-Dane is designed to be easy to pick up and play. With a focus on one-shots and episodic stories, it is perfect for play groups with inconsistent attendance. Whether you fall in love with it and make it a staple, need something to slot in when your play group is incomplete, or your GM is stuck trying to run the next session, Mon-Dane is designed to slot into your TTRPG rotation rather than compete with your current favorites. We want play groups to be able to keep up their sessions regardless of what life periodically throws at them.

Nine Monsters to Play and Explore

There are nine Monstrous Dispositions to choose from. Each has its own narrative flavor and way of interacting with the world, while still being open-ended enough for players to mold and adapt to their desires. 

Story over statistics

Mon-Dane’s statistics are designed to be simple and self-balancing. This lets players focus more on story and character over fine-tuned strategic mechanics.

Explore a Town Built on the Surreal  

Orellian Park is a typical mid-sized urban hub, with rows of seemingly empty office buildings, cultural centers, and local shops. But beneath it all lies an absurdity that many will find entertaining and potentially cathartic.

Where the Ordinary Conceals the Extraordinary.

Orellian Park is a fictional Washington town of offices, hotels, museums, resorts, local businesses, and people doing their best to seem completely normal.

But there is nothing normal here.

Creatures of myth and legend hide among the people. Shadowy organizations quietly monitor the populace. Strange incidents are explained away, spun by the news, or forgotten.
