Bundle of Holding has launched a new offer for DIE: The RPG, the “meta-fantasy” roleplaying game from Rowan, Rook and Decard. Created by Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans (the team behind the award-winning Image Comics series), DIE is famously pitched as “Goth Jumanji” – a game where you play a group of real-world people who get sucked into a fantasy realm and must deal with the trauma of their pasts to escape.
This DIE: The RPG bundle is available for a limited time and is scheduled to end on Tuesday, January 13.
DIE Collection
The offer is a single-tier “DIE Collection” for $14.95. This price provides the complete game line-up with a retail value of roughly $53.50.
The collection includes:
- DIE: The Roleplaying Game
- DIE Scenarios Vol 1: Bizarre Love Triangles
- DIE Scenarios Vol 2: Love is a Battlefield
- DIE Scenarios Vol 3: Childish Things
Unlike standard fantasy RPGs, where players embody heroic avatars, DIE asks participants to play “Personas”, flawed, real-world adults, who inhabit powerful fantasy “Paragons.
The game mechanics are designed to blur the line between the player and the character, using the physical dice themselves as totems of power. Whether or not the group is familiar with the original comic, this system offers a distinct, emotionally resonant experience that focuses as much on interpersonal drama and the question of “why we play” as it does on dungeon crawling.
