SUPER COOL MONSTER HUNTING CLUB
🕑 Added 2022-10-20 13:05:44 +0000 UTCPhysical backers: I sent out your last three months of games earlier this week, so you should be getting them soon.
SUPER COOL MONSTER HUNTING CLUB is a game about hunting monsters but, more accurately, it's a game about dressing up using found items in your house. My seminal work HEY KIDS, LET'S ALL MEET THE GIN WIZARD (don't Google that, it's not worth it) operates around similar themes; SCMHC removes the competitive themes and replaces them with some light worldbuilding elements and a spot of roleplaying.
I had the idea for this game about, oh, a decade ago? Maybe a little bit less. Eight years. But I've never been able to work out quite what the mechanics are. I actually looked out my first draft of the game as part of creating this version, and it's just got an inscrutable level of dice play. Like: you roll three dice and there's five different bits of information in there. Success is determined by the difference between two dice values. You spend more time re-rolling dice than you do rolling them.
Anyway. This version is simpler, and has the benefit of nearly a decade's design experience behind it. It uses rock paper scissors and that's pretty much it.

I send out physicals every three months, and everyone who signed up at some point in the three months previous gets all three games because I'm too lazy to work out who gets what and the cost to me is utterly negligible. We've got one more game to come in this batch next month, so you'll get all three in December when I mail them out.
Hi, I was hoping for a physical copy of Super Cool Monster Hunting Club, but I'm not 100% sure how this all works out here with the physical patreon tier :) love the game so far! <3
