Lucas Zellers

I make games, study monsters, and tell stories.

I get really excited about Pacific Rim and monster ecology.

Things I’ve made

A stack of hardcovers titled "Book of Extinction" on display at a convention booth. A model of a frog looks on in the foreground.
Extinct animals re-imagined in a 5E monster manual
A photo of Glatisant the book on a backdrop of collected hunting-themed objects like a fur rug and a book of animal illustrations.
A two-player TTRPG of Beast and Knight
A folded zine sits among a desk of office supplies; the tile reads "Precious Things"
1-page RPG where tiny dragons build second-hand hoards
A digital mockup of a zine titled Soot and Charms: Boston
Electropunk heist RPG in alternate history Boston
A photo of Werewolf + Android stacked in a vertical spinning rack with covers facing out. The cover is a light green with bright red shapes vaguely shaped like a W on top of an A with blue smoky lines cutting in and out of the shapes.
A mystery for two inhuman private investigators
One night to save a life in this replayable 5E adventure
A bite-sized podcast on monster design in games
