Demon Hunters - A Comedy of Terrors
Demon Hunters: A Comedy of Terrors is a roleplaying game that blends comedy and action-horror in a modern day world where agents of a mysterious Brotherhood confront supernatural threats from folklore and myth with their own extraordinary talents. The game uses standard polyhedral dice and a variation of the popular Fate Accelerated and Fate Core game rules. Players can get set up quickly and GMs can make use of story-generating charts and tables to create scenarios both scary and side-splittingly funny. Demon Hunters: A Comedy of Terrors is written and designed by multiple award winning game designers Cam Banks and Amanda Valentine, with original material by independent film creators Don Early and Jimmy McMichael, and writing by Nathan Rockwood. Published by Dead Gentlemen Productions, creators of The Gamers and The Gamers: Dorkness Rising. The book contains dozens and dozens of scenario-generating tables, lists, and suggestions. Creating new adventures for the Demon Hunters to tackle is fun, easy, and as simple as rolling a few dice. Options included make one-shots a piece of cake, while allowing for long-term episodic campaign play. The Dead Gentlemen bring their filmmaking experience to the game table. Treat each game like a scene or act in a movie or a TV show.Deluxe Agent of Death

Belly of the Beast
You are a scavenger. Driven by the primal instinct to survive, you venture into the depths of the Evergut in search of some remnant of the past that will postpone your inevitable digestion.The land was resplendent once; sprawling forests, massive ranges, glittering coastlines. Hundreds of clans, nations, and empires carved their homes from mountain and glen - living and killing and loving beneath the sun-kissed boughs.
But that was a lifetime ago. For generations the survivors have known nothing but sorrow. The Hungry God consumed all, leaving the world as little more than a skinned carcass moaning to be put out of its misery. Millions were swallowed during the Great Devourer's gluttonous feast; and yet, humanity pressed on.
Belly of the Beast is a tabletop roleplaying game focusing on scavengers: brazen survivors that plumb the depths of a world-eating monster's guts, scouring the remains of the mighty Empires that were eaten by the Beast.
