To Kill a Kaiju
A downloadable game
To Kill a Kaiju is a minimalist, one-page TTRPG about mech-drivers hunting and killing massive monsters known as Kaiju. The game is meant for 1 GM and 2-4 players.
To Kill a Kaiju’s main inspirations are Pacific Rim, Shadow of the Colossus, and BattleTech.
To Kill a Kaiju is the first game in the Brevemente Tabletop series and was originally created for the Eternal TTRPG August 2025 Jam where the theme was monster hunt!
You can access this game and more to come on the Brevemente Tabletop Patreon, where I design and release a new tabletop game every month! Patrons get full access to all Brevemente games and get to vote on game theming, mechanics, resolution systems, and more!
The first few Brevemente releases will be released here on itch as PWYW, but after a few weeks, upcoming releases will still be available here on itch for a fixed price, while the main focus shifts towards the Patreon. If you want to buy a copy of any Brevemente Games on itch, that's awesome, but consider becoming a Patron in order to have a say in what gets created, as well as the full catalog of games to come!

I like this game. The climbing/damage table really ties the mechanics together nicely. There is the one little thing that I noticed about the player height vs damage taken vs damage dealt: because the kaiju is equally likely to attack up and down and the dice don’t increase evenly, I wonder if there is an optimal position to maintain in order to maximize your damage output and minimize the damage taken. Someone smarter than me would have to work out the statistics for each position, but I suspect that it would be the d12 height. Emergent strats like that are so interesting. In this case, it would make it that the most optimal place to attack the monster would be around the neck and shoulders. Very AOT and Shadow of the Colossus.
