Launching Tomorrow: Monster Kingdoms

Sign up here to be notified when we go live!

In Monster Kingdoms, you play a creature of darkness. You may be vampiric magus, or feyborn harlequin. You might be a warrior gauntlet, an orc cultist, a druidic elf, or a flame-spitting dragonkin. You can play a wildly creative goblinoid, a chaotic dwarf, a fierce ice elementor, or a shame-filled fiend. Your characters can be anything from hulking dreadnauts to disturbing mentalists, and many Mantles in between.

Name your weapon and make it your sceptre.

Slay a beast and seize its crown.

Build your infamy either as a monster or as a servant of the light. Perform deeds worthy of repute: vanquishing a beast greater than yourself, toppling a lord from his tower and seizing control of his lands and people, or freeing slaves to weaken the Malignant Mind. A character’s infamy is a means of measuring their success in the Monster Kingdoms, whether virtuous or vicious. The only unworthy deeds are the ones no one hears about.

In the chaos of the Monster Kingdoms, now is your time to make a mark and shape the world to your liking.

Monster Kingdoms is a complete tabletop roleplaying game of dark fantasy, where evil is a natural state, adventure boasts horror and violence, and politics are cutthroat. It includes:

A massive number of playable monstrous characters.
A dangerous setting encompassing 13 unique, competing kingdoms.
The entire dynamic Storypath Ultra system.
