Monster Ascent
It’s a normal day in your city… until the ground starts shaking from giant footsteps. A Kaiju has come to town and it’s up to you to face off with it (with or without your friends)  This is a rules lite ttrpg that can be played either solo or with multiple players. The higher you climb on the monster, the more damage you’ll do, but the greater chance it will notice you and try to swat the annoyance away. Not the violent type? Try befriending the monster to lower its hostility you can send it back to its ocean home. In solo play or with friends! But a warning: even if you’re not going to harm it, it has very few compunctions about trying to harm you!
