“The Cure” a Standard One Shot in the Monster Care Squad system. Led by Nona de Koning.

  • Indecisionist Productions (map)

Monster Care Squad is a non-violent RPG where you play as a member of an elite team of Monster Care Specialists. You work alongside your fellow specialists to investigate trouble, diagnose illnesses, and treat the horrible Wounds inflicted by the False Gold. How you will go about this will largely depend on the Monsters your group decides to treat. Monsters range in scale from titanic megafauna to little bigger than your hand and in damage potential from cataclysmic world enders to mischievous trouble makers. In the world of Ald-Amura, Monsters and Humans live in harmony with one another. Humans care for Monsters, providing food and shelter for them, while Monsters lend their power, magic, and might to humanity. But the peace between Humans and Monsters is now an uneasy one. Monsters are afraid of who might be infecting their kind with the False Gold illness, Humans are afraid of their cities being leveled. Everyone is on eggshells and the beautiful balance that typified Ald-Amura is on the brink of collapse. However, you will find no rules for intentionally inflicting pain on anyone or anything in this game, as the first rule of being a Monster Care Specialist is to Do No Harm. This is a PbtA-style game with three distinct phases of play: Diagnosis (what's wrong and how to treat it), Synthesis (making the right cure) and Symbiosis (applying the actual treatment). We'll go through one entire loop, meeting and treating a single Monster. This game will be great if you like PbtA, playing healers, caring for animals, distinct phases of play. New players are welcome. The game runner will provide pregenerated characters to pick from.
