Welcome to Limbo! 

Here, you and your 'friends' can work together (tolerate each other) to solve (create) problems, save souls (literally), and get rich or die tryin'!

That last part is ... kind of a lie.


In Limbo, you're already dead.

_________________________________________________

Meet Death Dealers, a 'rules-medium' tabletop roleplaying game that takes place in the afterlife. The game is abstractly inspired by Dante's Inferno...but maybe not quite as gory or political. You play with a standard deck of cards (1 per player, with jokers) and work with your real-life friends to tell a cool story. Remember that old card game, War? Yep, it's that, but with a bunch of nerdy twists added.

In Death Dealers, you and your crew pick up jobs from Benefactors in exchange for money, power, or even (dunh, dunh, DUNH...) - IMMORTALITY. 

Naturally, there will be hijinks, shenanigans, tomfoolery and/or chicanery. Sometimes, just plain old lies and deception. Oh, and skeletons; plenty of skeletons.

Scared of complex rules and math? Death Dealer characters are made by drawing as little as one playing card if you prefer. The ruleset can scale in complexity at the drop of a hat, based on how your table wants to play.

Play your cards right, and you just might make an afterlife for yourself.
Catch a bad deal, and that's the end of your story.

[note from Author]

I am a one-man show: concepted it, wrote it, laid it out, collected/paid for/commissioned/poorly drew the artwork...all that fun stuff :) What I am not is an editor, sensitivity reader, or professional game developer - let's just say that out loud, right outta the gate. 

My intent is absolutely to work towards a print run of this game - I appreciate any and all help in getting there! Please feel free to share on social media, every share really and truly helps.

This is the 'beta' release of Death Dealers. Any and all sensible feedback/critique is welcomed heartily. Valuable contributions will be noted in further iterations of the game. Please feel free to comment here or find me on Twitter or Instagram (@bdotlively on both).

If you would like to review/discuss/bash/play this game on your platform, please contact me - I am open to providing review copies.

Want a sneak peek behind the curtain? Check this madness out (and make sure to check out the job generator at the bottom):

If this gains any traction, I'll open up community copies, alternate file types, add-on adventures (already have some planned) and whatever else we can dream up!

Thanks for reading; I hope you enjoy your day!
