Two games of survival horror, often without the survival. Desperation is two small roleplaying games, built on the same dark tone and mechanics, that are truly pick-up-and-play experiences for you and your friends. These dark, lyrical games, Dead House and The Isabel, are steeped in actual history and tell the stories of people pushed far past their limits. Desperation asks you to assume an unusual point of view—instead of deciding what people say and do, you decide who says and does the things that must happen. The sense of dread is palpable with each card reveal, because in these games, the things that must happen are a gradually escalating kaleidoscope of unimaginable horror. If you like card-based roleplaying games like The Quiet Year and For the Queen but have a dark and unmerciful heart, you’ll love Desperation.

Epitaph is an intimate look at the events that shape a person’s life. During play, you’ll explore the timeline of someone who has died (called the Departed) in order to gain gradual insight into their world, their identity, and their history. Their life is a story that starts at the end, then jumps freely backward and forward to their most important moments. As you create their story, you’ll discover who this person was and what made them special. Explore the life of……a devoted grandmother whose dream of owning her own restaurant came true……a bold captain who married her archrival and became the most infamous pirate in the Viridian Isles……a sensitive soldier in the trenches who didn’t make it home alive……an arrogant wizard who strove to unlock ancient secrets and found more than he bargained for……or anyone else you can imagine. No matter who you create, you’ll come to know them as a unique individual whose life was messy, complicated, and beautiful. Epitaph is GMless and requires no prep before play—just grab your friends around a table or via video chat, open the book, and start creating. The game features a variable level of role-playing commitment: on your turn you can describe a moment in time, create and play a scene with others, or give an interactive monologue as one of the characters from the story. The tone of the game is up to the players—it can be anything from lighthearted and goofy to bittersweet and tragic. Epitaph puts you inside the mind of a very ordinary person and leaves you feeling like you knew them.
