The folks working in game design these days are a pretty creative (and perhaps slightly crazy) bunch. Even though I haven’t played any role-playing games in decades, every so often I see a title pass by that amuses me or catches my imagination. Hex Games has just released such a title: “Funkadelic Frankenstein on the Mean Streets of Monstertown“. I haven’t seen this game, but it just sounds like it would be fun to play.

According to the announcement on their web site, “The game allows players to play in the world of 1970′s ‘Monsterploitation’ films as members of the famous and funky Prometheus Jones Detective Agency.” It’s designed for use with the QAGS Second Edition rules and includes a history of Monstersploitation films, rules for creating monster characters, and a complete adventure. It is reportedly available now for just 99 cents at hexgames.com, drivethrurpg.com, rpgnow.com, and yourgamesnow.com.
