Godzilla: The Roleplaying Game

Godzilla is stomping into the tabletop roleplaying world with its first official TTRPG, Godzilla: The Roleplaying Game.

Godzilla: The Roleplaying Game is the official card-based tabletop experience that puts you on the front lines of a world transformed by the rise of the kaiju. Based on the beloved setting and stories of Godzilla—originally created in 1954 and reimagined by generations of storytellers since—this unique game immerses you in the world of the King of the Monsters, its awesome allies, and its fearsome foes.

Whether you’re infiltrating a pro-kaiju cult as a Spy or blasting a monster with rocket launchers as a Soldier, 12 different character classes put you in control. A complete kaiju generation system allows you to create your own monstrous creatures to unleash upon humanity, or you can face one of 12 Immortal Kaiju, including Godzilla. And once you’ve learned the basics, jump into the action with Project Chimera, a multi-session adventure ready to run straight from the book.

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
