Right after the election I made the following game pitch for my local indie/story game meetup:
“I think for the next meetup I’m pitching to run Eat the Reich, a game of hot vampires dropping into Paris in WW2, on a mission to fuck up a bunch of nazis on the way to fuck up Hitler. It’s a player-controlled narrative game of cartoonish ultraviolence and it’s about how, not if, you succeed in your mission. It’s meant to be cathartic.
“If you’re wondering: _Is the timing of him pitching this because of_ YES. YES YOU KNOW IT of _course_ it is.”
The next meetup wasn’t until last night and it went wonderfully. My players quickly got into character and found the right tone before even fully figuring out the rules, which didn’t take that much longer. It was hilarious, everyone enjoyed themselves, and I really needed that.
One player picked up the store’s remaining copy of the game for herself, as well as a block of mixed pink and green d6s with blue pips that matched the game so well that I had to pick up a set for myself too.
Also, I was not expecting to need to write this loot:
Ventriloquist puppet
(+"Why do you have that?")
