Some tabletop roleplaying games are meant for you to create your own character and lead them on an open-ended journey with a personal arc that you craft through a combination of interactions with your fellow players and the roll of the dice.

The year is 1943. You are part of a team of crack vampire commandos with one mission: drink all of Hitler’s blood. This simple but ingenious pitch is the premise for the upcoming tabletop RPG Eat the Reich from publisher Rowan Rook and Decard.
This action-heavy horror-comedy game is being designed by Grant Howitt, whose writing credits include Honey Heist, Heart: The City Beneath and Orc Borg, with art by Will Kirkby, who has drawn comics in set in the world of the popular actual play series Critical Role.
In order to get the scoop on the game, which just hit Kickstarter, we chatted with both Will Kirkby and Grant Howitt about their creative process.
Bd: Eat the Reich now features a large cast of colorful characters and horrific enemies set in a fully realized version of Nazi-occupied Paris, but the seed of the idea came from humble origins.
Howitt: Just entirely the pun.
