MONSTROUS RESPONSES
Fitfully Blowing Breeze (Close, Cleaving): The Avis Americae 
furiously beats its wings, Sending itself Flying. The air pressure 
Staggers all in range and inflicts 3 Harm.
Red Glare (Near/Far, Path): The Avis Americae stares down a 
combatant, inflicting Dazzled, Staggered, and Vulnerable. The 
monster then swoops towards them. All combatants in its path 
are knocked Prone and suffer 3 Harm.
Morning’s First Beam (Close, Splash): Lays an explosive egg 
and then hops a Near distance away. At the start of the Tempo 
Change, all Close to the egg suffer +2 Metal. If Airborne, the egg 
drops a Near distance to the ground below and explodes, 
applying Metal to itself.

TEMPO CHANGE: HALF CONCEALS, HALF DISCLOSES
The Avis Americae launches itself into the air, soaring quickly 
over the battlefield and remaining at a Far distance from the 
ground. Unless grounded, the monster targets a scavenger 
during the next Tempo Change, diving down and raking them 
with its talons, knocking them Prone and inflicting a Blister. 
While the Avis Americae can still fly with broken wings, any 
further damage to those broken wings will end its flight 
immediately, sending it hurtling to the ground and falling Prone.

ENRAGE
At 125 and 60 Health, the Avis Americae squawks in pain and 
spreads its wings wide, Sending all Close combatants Flying. Twin miniguns burst from the wing joints and pepper all in a Near Line, 
inflicting 3 Harm.

While Enraged, the miniguns 
coordinate their fire with the 
monster’s attacks, inflicting 2 
Harm to all in range.

One of the really fun parts of designing #MONSTERGUTS2e was adding references to all of the different monsters.
The Avis Americae, for instance, quotes and misquotes lyrics from The Star Spangled Banner. #MG2e #ttrpg #indiettrpg #ttrpgdesign

Expanded Armory Revised by Kaid Brenen Sacander A supplement for MONSTER GUTS 2e

You guys ever ADHD so hard that you start and finish a side project instead of working on what you should be doing? Yeah... That happened today.

One of my big goals for MONSTER GUTS 2e was to increase the "connective tissue" (thanks @ostrichmonkey.bsky.social) in the game. This goal influenced pretty much every single aspect of the second edition, but I think it's most visible in the Scavenger Creation section. #MG2e #MONSTERGUTS2e #ttrpgs

It's no secret that MONSTER GUTS 2e takes a lot of inspiration from the Monster Hunter series, and one of the design goals of MG2e is to mirror the gamefeel of the weapons from MonHun. Let's talk about how I did that with the Greatsword. #MONSTERGUTS2e #MG2e #MonsterHunter #indiettrpg #ttrpgdesign

The cover image is a blood-spattered scavenger holding a spiked scythe emerging from within a monster framed by the words "MONSTER GUTS 2e: Danielle Osterman." In the bottom left corner is the logo of Wheels Within Wheels Publishing - a white-and-black wheel that is half wagon wheel and half gear with the Hamsa eye in the center.

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

playtests are going well
Player just used the War Bugle to light someone on fire while also putting them to sleep. When asked how they did this, they just said "it's like stacking all the warm blankies"

Can't wait for y'all to play it. #MG2e #MONSTERGUTS2e #ttrpg
