* CreatorBacklash: Part of the reason why the game is out of print - the lead designer over the years came to a conclusion that the game was "just a phase" in his life and he would rather not discuss it at all. He actively distanced himself over the years from the title, despite every other of his RPG-related creations either have been or are planned to be reprinted.



* MagnumOpusDissonance: The creator of this game clearly saw it as his gift to the role-playing world, while ''TabletopGame/{{Neuroshima}}'' was more of a quick job on the side. However, the laid-back macho tone and post-apo craziness of ''Neuroshima'' resonated with the average Polish gamer a lot more than ''Monastyr'''s Baroque setting and dead-serious melancholic mood. There are rumours it disappointed him so much that it's the real reason why he dropped writing [=RPGs=] and hasn't picked it back up ever since, despite remaining in contact with the fandom.

Added DiffLines:

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Second edition of the game was in the final phase of writing and testing, but the project got abandoned and ''Monastyr'' as a whole discontinued. That edition was also openly geared for what the creators called the "slot approach". Meaning the main rulebook was to contain obvious gaps and holes, to be filled with [[MoneyDearBoy separately sold expansions]].
