A downloadable game

Monsters on a Cruise Ship is a chill queer tabletop RPG powered by the apocalypse, in which you play various cryptids starring in a reality TV show hosted on a cruise ship. The aim is simple - get a date, or drown (in the deep ocean surrounding the cruise ship). Get to know the other contestants via the medium of silly challenges and flirt rolls of dubious quality.

Features a variety of silly things, including!

  • Thirteen different cryptid playbooks - Cyborg, Devil, Dragon, Ghost, Goblin, Gorgon, Vampire, Shapeshifter, Skeleton, Sphinx, Unspeakable, Werewolf and Witch!
  • The ability to Figure It Out, Create Art, Play It Cool, and most importantly, Make Good TV.
  • Spotlight Points, which let you take the spotlight, or at least have another go at the thing you were doing.
  • And more!

This game is in development, and will continue to receive updates after more rules playtesting, along with actual information about the world of Monsters on a Cruise Ship. Keep an eye on our devlog!

We will also be filling the book with lovely art by dovahbutt (@dovahbuttocks on Twitter) - you can see some of the art they drew for the stream in the screenshots, which will eventually make its way into the book!

Version 0.2 was recently streamed, and you can see the VODs for that on YouTube. The soundtrack of said stream is also included as a free download!
