Monster Design with Makenzie De Armas - S4E7
Manage episode 362311583 series 2976178
This week I'm joined by Makenzie De Armas to talk designing monsters! Every game, every system has monsters (in some sense) and they play a critical component to telling stories. So how do the pros do it? How can we build fun monsters for folks to run, players to fight against and designers to build! We go over: - Some "broken" monster stories and how to balance them;
- Monster statblock design principles,
- A peak behind the curtain on how monster's are designed at the wizard's tower, and
- Advice for adapting content from other sources into a monster.
If you liked Makenzie's wisdom you should totally check out her socials @MakenzieLaneDA or check out her website: https://www.makenzielaneda.com/
Happy gaming & much love Mat

Role Play Chat is a biweekly podcast where Mat sits down with content creators from the table top roleplaying game community to take deep dives into #ttrpg related topics (for games such as #DungeonsandDragons, Fates, Warhammer or Call of Cthulhu). These informal discussions are filled with stories, advice, insights and hopefully will serve as inspiration for fellow Game Masters and Players.
