Have you ever secretly wanted
to be best friends with a magical unicorn? His name
would be Dewdrop, and he would talk to you with
his thoughts, and he would carry you on his back
away from bullies and parents and kids who don’t
get you, and you’d have such wonderful adventures!
This game is pretty much like
that. Except — well, Dewdrop is a little scary.
In fact, if you drew what Dewdrop
really looks like on your Trapper Keeper, they would
send you to the principal’s office, then to
the school counselor, and then perhaps to a place
with a name like Morning Meadows Home for Disturbed
and Psychotic Youth.
Welcome to Monsters and
Other Childish Things, a funny, frightening,
action-packed roleplaying game about kids and the
people who matter to them most — their friends,
family and loved ones.
And their horrifying pet monsters.
Monsters and Other Childish
Things is perfect for new gamers young and old,
and for all gamers who like a little humor with
their horror.
Players take the roles of ordinary
kids whose best friends are slavering monstrosities
from beyond time and space — and that’s
already enough to get them in all kinds of trouble
with parents, school principals, friends, the Monster
Investigation Bureau, mad science teachers, wannabe
wizards, you name it. Can you make it through
a school day without having to explain why your
monster ate the substitute teacher? We’ll
soon find out.

Written
by Benjamin Baugh,
Monsters and Other Childish Things

complete — and completely monstrous! — roleplaying
game, with 180 pages of distressingly fun action,
humor and horror. Order
