Clain Hoake stood on the pier, one foot up on a wooden crate as he lit his pipe and puffed smoke rings into the pink dusk sky. Finally, things were returning to normal. Finally, the war was ending.

The shockwave broke his peaceful tobacco enjoyment, the pipe dropping from his mouth, through a gap in the planks, and with a plop, hit the sea. “Darn, not another one…” As Clain looked up from the pier to the roiling waters, he saw what could only be described as a massive turtle coasting along the crest of a tidal wave, an army of jellyfish balanced precariously on its shell, while a glowing seahorse trumpeted the sea monsters’ arrival.

Clain blinked. He was sure that was just tobacco in his pipe, but he couldn’t believe his eyes. He and his friends had only just driven back vile werelobsters, predatory shark clans, and communist crab people, and now a new wave of monsters rose up from the deep to flood humanity with their briny aggression!

Monsters of the Deep! is an expansive bestiary for They Came from Beneath the Sea!, including a variety of new monsters big and small to include in your stories as goons, or to base your plots around as central antagonists. 

As with the threats introduced in They Came from Beneath the Sea!, the monsters in this book can be played for farce, with the Director emphasizing the rubbery costumes coming apart at the seams, or for horror, with the Director describing in precise detail what the Algae of Doom does to its victims (and it isn’t pretty!).

They Came from Beneath the Sea! uses the Storypath System.

Monsters of the Deep! includes:

  • Disgusting Destroyers such as Billy Skibbers, the Colossomantids, and the Siliclones!
  • Edentulous Enslavers including the Algae of Doom, Poseidon, and the Box Jellies!
  • Insidious Invaders including the Sea Dragons, Dire Sea Sponges, and Jelly Men!
  • Putrid Primordials such as the Turtledon, the Creeping Coral, and the Gullbatross!
  • Spumy Spies not limited to Melvis and the Deep-Water Band, Mr. Frosty, and the Red Coral Society!
  • Terrible Terrestrial Threats including the Red Death, Reverend Aquarius, and B.A.K.E!
  • And many, many more…

Also available: the collected Tales of the Æon Society! Audio Drama is now live! You can catch it on PodBean, or download it from DriveThruRPG (don’t miss the included booklet)!

Follow along as Max Mercer, a cunning daredevil with extraordinary luck, leads an amazing group of daring humans known only as the Æon Society. These heroes travel all over the world to investigate strange phenomena, right wrongs, and protect the innocent.
