Eat the Reich
A downloadable game
Eat the Reich is a tabletop roleplaying game in which you, a vampire commando, are coffin-dropped into occupied Paris and must cut a bloody swathe through nazi forces en route to your ultimate goal: drinking all of Adolf Hitler’s blood.
It’s written by Grant Howitt (Honey Heist, Spire, Heart) and illustrated by Will Kirkby (Critical Role, Image, Darkhorse, Boom).
This over-the-top, ultraviolent game is designed to be played from beginning to end in one to three sessions of carnage, blood magic, meaningful flashbacks and hundreds upon hundreds of extremely dead fascists. It tells one story, it tells it loud, and it tells it brilliantly. Think Wolfenstein crossed with Danger 5 and you’re not far off the mark.

I bought the print book. Would strongly recommend it over a pdf: the embossed fonts, the textured blood spatter and the glow in the dark ink on the cover alone. This being a beautiful physical book, it would pain me to forcefully flatten it on a copy machine. But I was unable to find a pdf of the character sheets. Is there such a file somewhere? Feels to me like there would be.
I got my physical copy of this and it looks gorgeous. It's extremely cool and I can't wait to run it, but there a few things that left me... kind of befuddled. Leaving aside things like instructing the reader to not include any of the actual reasons the Nazis were bad, not to do a fake German accent, and to leave out any actually heinous behavior on the part of the Nazis, the part that most left me scratching my head is at the end, where they give advice on how to expand it if you want to play more stories than just the one it's designed for. Namely, they recommend going after Mussolini, Hirohito, those make sense because they're more Axis leaders, Franco, yeah Spain was technically neutral but dude was a dictator and he did support the Axis in a variety of ways, and then Churchill, which... okay, Churchill did do some awful things in India, and the King (unspecified, but presumably of the UK), which, alright I guess... but we seem to be leaving out a pretty major big evil leader of a nation from that time period. Why no Stalin? It seems a very... curious... character to leave out.
