‘Cottages & Cerberus’ RPG Offers Monster Hunting and That Cozy Life
Are you a fan of Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, and Monster Hunter? Cottages & Cerberus is the perfect TTRPG for you.
Defend your cozy cottage from dangerous monsters in Cottages and Cerberus, which is live on Kickstarter now!
In this D6-based game, you and your friends live out your days in a cottage in a fantasy realm. You can participate in fishing, gardening, and crafting in this cozy land. You can even find romance. This doesn’t mean there isn’t exciting adventures in store. In order to improve your cottage and gain materials, you’ll have to hunt vicious monsters.
Cottages and Cerberus features a simple, easy-to-learn rules system. You can start playing within 10 minutes. This is thanks to straightforward rules, including quickstart characters, and the premise that every monster encounter is an adventure.
The game is simple to pick up but hard to put down. The base rules can be learned in minutes, and since each monster has a hunt—a mini adventure that leads up to the boss fight– you can pick one and start running within minutes.
The 300-page Core Rulebook includes 50+ monsters to hunt and slay, and each monster comes with a hunt that is taken before the true fight can begin.
Create a Character in No Time
While simple, the rules are also varied enough to support a vast array of complex and unique characters. Quickstart characters found in the back of the book reduce the friction of having too many character choices, so players can just choose one and go.
But, for those who want to nerd out creating your character and load out, you can spend hours picking the perfect abilities for your character.

Easy to Learn Rules
The core of the Cottages and Cerberus system involves making checks. When attempting a check, characters roll a number of six-sided dice based on their attributes and circumstances. The GM will then set a target number, determining how difficult the check is.
Spoons are the key resource system in C&C. They are an abstraction of a character’s physical and mental capacity. Failing checks and being attacked by monsters cost players spoons, as do some abilities.
You can also use magic items, keep pets, and more. Learn more about what the Cottages and Cerberus system has to offer by checking out the rulebook.
