Costume

For the child monsters, costuming is very minimal, items from everyday wear, with some suggestions for colours or style for the characters. For the monster monsters, we encourage the players to let their imaginations & craftiness run wild. In the most part it will be up to the players to determine how monster-ish their character will be - fur, scales, voluminous cloaks, creepy hands, face paint or masks - the more outlandish and scarier the better.

Background

Take a group of children, concerned with the issues of their families, their friends and day-to-day living in modern New Zealand. Take a group of professionals, trying to do their job of collecting energy to meet the demands of their own civilised society. Pit them against each other, and we have Monsters versus Monsters. A light-hearted riff on the movie Monsters Inc (no previous knowledge is required). This is a mostly PG rated game with emphasis on character interactions and roleplaying.
