This is honestly one of the coolest parts of MG2e; the monsters represent the greed, cruelty, and other worst parts of humanity, and lets you go beat them to a pulp.
Designing 3p monsters for it is great: pick a part of society you hate, make a monster around it, and watch players take it apart.

MONSTER GUTS 2e gives a face and flesh to our modern
ghosts, the horrible, bodiless, seemingly inexorable forces that
plague our world, and tells you to go kill them, cut them up,
salvage the useful, and repurpose the rest.
Happy Hunting, scavengers.

The Koalurker (made for @dubdubpub.itch.io's MONSTER GUTS 2e) is one of my favorites. Koalas already eat poisonous plants, which makes their giant monster version perfect fits for the posionfruit-filled Once Emerald Forests. And, just like real koalas, their poisonous diet makes them dumb as rocks.

Hello. It's my final week as a full time game designer, and as if to underline why I can't do this anymore, I currently can't afford to cover my bills at the end of the month.

Hold onto your butts, data nerds. I've been looking Evil Hat's distro performance — solely based on our distro invoicing that we do through Freshbooks; we don't invoice IPR there so they aren't represented in these data.
The TLDR:
2025 was the worst year for EH's distribution in the past 10 years.

If anyone told me they preferred the green cover of Palace I would definitely think less of them afterwards.
As they say in the blog, Travis is more or less the only interesting piece added/upgraded here, and that doesn't much make for a better adventure.

I wrote a comparison of both versions of Dungeon Module B3: Palace of the Silver Princess - Jean Wells's original orange cover version & Tom Moldvay's revised green cover version. I give some reasons why you might run one over the other, then explain which version I prefer & why.
Which Version of Palace of the Silver Princess Should You Run?

Proof arrived for MONSTER GUTS 2e and it's absolutely surreal to hold the game I made in my hands.
Ordering another proof cuz I'm not fully happy with it, but this is a huge personal milestone for me as a game designer, and I'm over the moon that this game tangibly exists. #MG2E #MONSTERGUTS2e

If I brought a super limited print run of a No Amount of Armor Ashcan edition to Gen Con, would people be interested in picking that up from me?
It would just be the player-facing rules, no GM stuff. I'd probably sell them at cost to anyone interested as a way to give out samples of the full book.

It's been a bit! NULL_SPACE is coming out in 🚨 three weeks 🚨 so let's get into how one of the core interesting mechanical ideas, Complex Challenges, works.
🧵
🧵
Valiant Horizon is a game very much about tactical combat though. This one doesn't even have a combat system as such! Instead, all obstacles in your way are handled using an extremely flexible and intuitive challenge/complication system. It can trivially be molded into whatever shape you'd like.
