PLEASE DON’T DIE – A Pro-Wrestling RPG

Core Rulebook by Ante’s Company

This is it. The crowd is pouring into their seats and the lights are all on you.

It’s time to fucking wrestle.

Please Don’t Die is a game where players take on the role of workers on the independent wrestling scene who are trying to put on a kickass wrestling show without killing each other in the process.

Take on one of four roles — wrestler, manager, referee, roadie — and put on an absolute spectacle forged with your blood, sweat, and tears. Keep the fans happy by sating their bloodlust with dozens of unique and dangerous moves, weapons, and stipulations. Just be sure to keep it kayfabe — if the fans are onto the fact that this is an all act, the whole show will fall apart in an instant.

The drama and carnage of wrestling doesn’t stay confined to the ring, though. Please Don’t Die‘s intricate booking system allows players to put on the show of their dreams, with just about every match and promo under the sun at your fingertips — and just as many ways to mess up the plans of others. 

Every worker has a different vision for how a show should be run, and each will have the opportunity to exert their influence on the final product — whether that involves working alongside fellow talent, flexing their hype backstage, or knocking some skulls around until they give up and give in.

With a flexible system designed for those who wanna play through one show or one thousand, Please Don’t Die lets you live out the highs and lows of the world of the independent wrestler — you can even bring your characters with you from table to table!
