I am currently designing and playtesting HEXINGTIDE , a zine-sized TTRPG of Minimalist Monstrous Roleplaying.

Hexingtide (Early Access) by Will Phillips
As I get ready for the next big playtest release, I have open spots in two guest GM games this month! Both online (obviously). Neither will be recorded.

- The game is my rules-lite love letter to the monsters of folklore, comics, and classic pop culture.
- Inspired by Hellboy & the wider Mignolaverse, Dan Brereton’s Nocturnals, Eric Powell’s The Goon & Hillbilly, classic Universal Monsters, Alan Moore & Kevin O’Neill’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, the Underworld films, and the various incarnations of The World of Darkness.
- Player Characters range from the mortal human with strange gifts and powers to the outright weird and monstrous.
- Rules are minimal, tightly focusing on the monster theme by way of a double-edged core dice mechanic, and lean into open-ended player descriptions with modifier numbers (think Fate or Risus).
