The year is 1943. You are a team of crack vampire commandos with one mission: drink all of Hitler’s blood.
You, a vampire commando, are coffin-dropped into occupied Paris and must cut a bloody swathe through nazi forces en route to your ultimate goal: drinking all of Adolf Hitler’s blood.
About the book:
In EAT THE REICH, you’ll take on the role of one of six iconic vampire commandos and undertake a daring raid on occupied Paris during WW2. Although the vampires are outnumbered and outgunned, they have the element of surprise on their side - they’re being dropped in via armoured coffins at terminal velocity. They’ll have to use speed, cunning and audacious amounts of violence to achieve their final goal: boarding Hitler’s private zeppelin and drinking all of his blood.
EAT THE REICH uses a simple D6 dice pool system.
Players declare their intent and work out the size of their dice pool – it averages out at about six – then roll them and discard any that show 3 or less.
Any that show 4 or more are spent to achieve the current objective, destroy nazi defenders, defend against incoming damage, or gulp down mouthfuls of fascist blood.
Nothing too complex, but it flows nicely – and it means the rules will never get in the way of your rampage.
This over-the-top, ultraviolent game is designed to be played from beginning to end in one to three sessions of carnage, blood magic, meaningful flashbacks, and hundreds upon hundreds of extremely dead fascists.
It tells one story, it tells it loud, and it tells it brilliantly. Think Wolfenstein crossed with Danger 5 and you’re not far off the mark.
