Animals. Mutants. Simple, intuitive rules.
A vast, post-human suburbia to explore...

The Stillfleet Studio's Grit System is expanding with Blister Critters, a new game by Anthony Grasso (concept, writing, art, and design), co-developed by Wythe Marschall (mechanics, editing). Play as a pack of Critters—Saturday-morning heroes navigating a world without humans that is filled with Beasts (solitary, large, dangerous animals) and Bliffs (Blistered Stuff, or synthetic objects given cartoon life by the mutating environment). It's a fast-to-learn, collaboration-focused TTRPG from an innovative indie creator. Plus, the Quickstart is free!

Sink your teeth and claws into the PWYW Blister Critters Quickstart!

You have to love Tony's unique art style, from his warm palette to his command of animal expressions and group vibes:

The game allows for both "zany" play—focused on cartoon-show antics—as well as "gnarly" play, focused on a world after humans (and during an ongoing and all-too-real climate catastrophe). Plus, there are new-to-the-Grit-System rules for worldbuilding with mad-libs, collectively mapping (human-scale) rooms, and even gaining advantage from uttering pithy cartoon catchphrases!


The full book (already written, being design) will feature dozens of mutant "Blister" and "Nonsense" powers, hundreds of examples of mechanicalized human-made "Stuff" (a game term), and 66 different intelligent animals to choose from (or make your own!).

For now, pick up the free Quickstart, make a Critter or use a pregenerated character, and dive into the familiar-feeling but truly unique new world of Blister Critters!
