A roleplaying game about magic, mystery, teamwork, and the desires that drive us. All games ask a question. The question this game asks is: How can we create the best story? Best is, of course, subjective, so that leads to further questions, like, "What does it mean to tell the best story?" You are one of the Devil's Dandy Dogs, a creature made of the Devil's shadow, and as such you are tasked with one thing: collecting souls. You’ll face myriad people, places, creatures, experiences, and conundrums—not to mention temptations. And when you’re done, the Devil will want a rousing story of your exploits. Collaborate with the rest of your pack and the Diviner to create the conflict, characters, and resolutions to your tale. Special dice and a tarot-style deck generate interesting twists and turns. This no-prep, rules-light narrative roleplaying game is filled with mystery, magic, and the unforeseen. And a pack of supernatural dogs trying their best to be oh-so-good.
