In MONSTROUS, Celestials are the inscrutable world-ending servants of pitiless gods. They're kind of a perfect fit for Cairn by Yochai Gal, a game about "exploring a dark & mysterious Wood filled with strange folk, hidden treasure, and unspeakable monstrosities." 

Amanda P. used MONSTROUS to create an angel tailored to this system and to its feel of old gods of tree and sky. This is a great example of how MONSTROUS can be used in conjunction with any system to craft the perfect monster for your campaign.

Amanda P. writes tabletop games and adventures. They are best known for Pilgrimage of the Sun Guard, an Arthurian-flavored solo roleplaying game, and Tannic, a tragic and comedic forest adventure for Cairn and Old School Essentials. They also draw maps.


What is Monstrous?

MONSTROUS is a system-agnostic tool for fantasy tabletop roleplaying games, the go-to reference for telling better stories through monsters. It brings fear, wonder, & mystery back into monsters while demystifying the process of writing them.

MONSTROUS is a beautiful art book, using lavish paintings, illustrations, prose, and poetry to inspire you to build and explore worlds populated by dark mythic monsters.

MONSTROUS champions the idea that different monsters should lead to different stories. A Dragon & a Lich can both be mastermind archvillains, but the differences between them should be deeper than the type of damage they deal, & they should lead to unique roleplay opportunities. 

MONSTROUS empowers you to seize the creative reins, to craft monsters that uniquely fit your fantasy worlds and stories.
