We got ours in the mail recently and absolutely cannot wait to play it. It seems like a powerful #ttrpg experience. This is the kind of "game" that has the potential to elevate the "game" to the profound.

Here’s what I can say:

- there’s a high possibility I am teaching this game in spring as part of my revised Intro to Literary Studies

- I don’t say this kind of thing often publicly, but I have thus backed for the full shoebox

Oh, right, this goes live today. I should probably say something.

You Will Die In This Place is a nihilistic survival-horror dungeon crawl TTRPG about exile, decay, and the inevitability of death.

The best zombie parodies are often great zombie stories in their own. Community's Halloween episode is no exception.
