Show Notes

This week, Fiona is joined by Evelyn, Celena, James, Matthew and Matt for DIE: The Roleplaying Game, created by Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans, and published by Rowan Rook and Decard.

Based on the comic of the same name, DIE is about fantasy versus reality, and poses the question of why we play games at all. 

In DIE, players take on the roles of a group of authentically flawed people (persona) from the real world who gather together to play an RPG and are dragged into a fantasy realm. As their paragon characters, they then have to find their way home… or not.

You can find out more information about DIE and grab your own copy on the Rowan, Rook and Decard website.
