JourneyMon: Monster Trainer Roleplaying is LIVE!
After years in development, playtesting and refinement, and months of pre-launch campaigning, I'm proud and excited to say that my brand new tabletop roleplaying game JourneyMon: Monster Trainer Roleplaying is now LIVE on Kickstarter!
A narrative, collaborative world-building tabletop roleplaying game about friendship and monster battles.
Zero Prep, Collaborative, World-Building... with Monsters!
JourneyMon is a monster tamer game built on an episodic structure, emulating the Saturday morning cartoons we all grew up with. Players travel together in the spirit of friendship, discovering new part of the world and engaging in exciting monster battles. The system is designed to be quick and easy to run, with zero prep for the GM.
You can also play the game RIGHT NOW with the free Quick Start Guide!
And since the look and feel of the game is so much in its art, I want to shout out @crowvaarts, who has done almost all the art here! Thanks to Crowva for giving all of our iconic Trainers and Villains such a pop!
5 Days to Go! Previews Galore!
The crowdfunding campaign for the full JourneyMon handbook is well on its way! We have smashed through the stretch goal to introduce a brand new Trainer Class to the game (the Monster) and are well on the way to hitting our next goal to unlock the Empowered villain playbook!
Make sure to back the project soon, as there's now only 5 days left!
Previews
To celebrate the successes of the campaign, a few new previews have been uploaded over on Kickstarter.
Preview: Episode Generation. In this update, I reveal some of the mechanics and sample tables behind the Prologue, the game's collaborative world-building phase.

Know Your Enemy: Villain Playbook Previews. Look no further than this article for a look at the complete Criminal villain playbook.
200% Funded and First Stretch Goal: the Monster trainer class! As we cruised past our 200% funding stretch goal, I revealed a little about the new Monster player trainer class!
Kiddykat the Chimera is the iconic character representing the Monster trainer class. A bit of meowth, a bit of mewtwo all rolled up into an adorable mascot. With claws.
