a chaotic and action-packed dark occult goth punk urban fantasy tabletop RPG.
Death City is a sprawling urban environment embroiled in supernatural turmoil, home to a metaphorical and literal underworld which is bursting at the seams. It is rife with demons, ghouls, vampires, cultists, and all sorts of creatures that go bump in the night. Heroes and anti-heroes in black leather hunt bounties and solve cases, sparring with monsters of both the human and non-human variety.
Death City is a discourse on the ethics and fathoms of the human heart: an occult fantasy taking place in a near-future city where a thin veil separates humanity from fae and fiend: the mysterious entities and horrors of myth, legend, and magick. It is a place where true evil can be just as mundane as it is otherworldly, where magick and the surreal exist in every corner, if you know where to look.
Death City is a game largely influenced by supernatural urban fantasy: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Yu Yu Hakusho, Hellboy, Shin Megami Tensei, Blade, and more. It also incorporates elements of folk horror, cyberpunk, dark fantasy, religious symbolism, surrealism, mythology, ghost stories, urban legends, and magical realism.
Your game can take place in the titular Death City, or can be adapted for just about any urban fantasy setting you can imagine. Narratives can be about vampire slayers, a team of misfits-turned-spirit detectives, a demon who’s a part of a paranormal government agency, or a daywalker who hunts down monsters.
It’s all about telling the stories you want to tell. The system is also flexible enough to create your own monsters, mysteries, factions, magickal items, spells, weapons, and gadgets in addition to the already plentiful assets outlined in the book!
