Monster Wrangler is a monster training tabletop roleplaying game from Blackout Games.

One player takes on the role of Gamemaster, an impartial referee and narrator who sets up challenges and who controls the people and monsters the players will encounter during their adventures.

The other players take on the roles of Wranglers, people who train wild monsters for companionship and battle. Monster Wrangler supports both juvenile and adult Wranglers, and both have access to a robust list of advantages, disadvantages, and class abilities to make each character unique.

To resolve conflicts, Monster Wrangler uses a system based on ten-sided dice. Characters roll a certain number of dice for various tasks, as determined by their skills and attributes.

If the number of successes generated by the character is equal to or greater than the Difficulty of whatever they're trying to do, they accomplish their goal!

Each result of 10 lets the character roll another ten-sided die, and each result of 7 or higher is a success.

Each success beyond what is required becomes a Raise, which the character can spend for various additional bonuses, such as increasing the damage of an attack or learning additional information from
a clue.

There are thirty-seven unique monsters that Wranglers can fight, tame, and befriend in Monster Wrangler, ranging from ancient robots to ravenous vermin to noble woodland beasts. Our stretch goals
will allow us to expand this number even further, and the game contains instructions for creating new monsters, allowing Gamemasters to fill their worlds with monsters of their own design.

Additionally, Wranglers can breed their monsters together, creating hybrid offspring with the combined strengths - and appearances - of their parents!

All of this takes place in the Chosu Region, a richly detailed campaign world comprised of seven unique nations. Each nation is fleshed out with a quick history, a glance at the nation today, and a number of plot hooks describing thematic ideas for adventures set in that area.

The most prominent organizations in the Chosu Region are also detailed, ranging from monster-training associations that help connect new Wranglers to young monsters to villainous crime syndicates to morally ambiguous tech companies with more money than common sense.
It’s a wide world of adventure that’s just waiting for you to arrive!
