Monsterpunk

Monsterpunk is a post-apocalyptic RPG of humans, monsters and humans becoming monsters. In it, Player Characters make life-binding pacts with magical creatures to survive in a harsh world dominated by monsters. It draws inspiration from the likes of Shin Megami Tensei, Devilman and Fallout.

Humans in Monsterpunk are subordinates, food or slaves of the monsters that have taken over the world. The Player Characters are humans who have made pacts with monsters for power. But the power that PCs wield isn’t easy to control and misusing it will transform them into the very things that are the oppressors of humanity.

The rules of Monsterpunk are effects-based and action-oriented. That means the focus is on what you do rather than how you do it, making it very easy to reskin characters. The roleplaying mechanics make every roll interesting and the combat rules are tactical yet have very little math.
