Demonbreakers is an Indie TTRPG for fans of Ghostbusters and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It is GM-less, Diceless, and Prep-free; just grab a few friends and play.

More Details
You are Demonological Lorists, unemployed after the College Arcane terminated your grant for allegedly sloppy methods. In desperation you launched an exorcism business, just as Hell’s Gates have opened in your fantasy city, unleashing a torrent of demonological activity. Now you’re the city’s only hope. But do they want your help?

GM-less! All players will create scenes, introduce consequences, and resolve conflicts, using card-driven prompts inspired by the game’s iconic touchstones.

Diceless! No random luck here. Instead the game guides you to engage with the Demon, the City, and other characters. You’ll have to create situations that leave you vulnerable in order to earn tokens that you can later spend in order to pull off something heroic. Be smart about who, when and how tokens are spent, or the city may be permanently overrun by the forces of the Demon.

Hello Survivors. A quick update. I’ve been a bit slower on posting new episodes lately because I have an injury that has prevented me from doing editing of episodes. I hope to be back to it soon.

I am saddened by the actions against trans children and trans affirming families in Texas. That's why I contributed a few of my micro rpg game designs to the TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Texas bundle, along with 299 other game designers.

If you like indie rpgs, or you want to support trans rights, check out the link. It explains where the money will go. There are some great games in the bundle, and 10 days left to support.

Okay, this is going to be one you’ll want to set your calendars for. Next week I’m premiering an interview episode with Ben Dever and Vincent Lazzari on Youtube.

In the interview we talk about Magnamund’s rightful place in the pantheon of fantasy worlds, the resurrection of the series, and the emotional way that Ben and Vincent met.

This will be the first in a series of interview episodes with Ben and Vincent. I can’t wait to discuss them with you.

Perhaps you're curious what's been going on in gamebooks. Or perhaps you just want to hear two big fans banter about what's been going on in gamebooks. Either way... its time for the news!

This is an in-between-seasons episode. Friend of the show Stuart Lloyd stopped by to give us the news! We'll learn what several of the previous guests of the show have been up to over the last year... plus I have too much fun with sound effects.
