Eat the Reich

There's no need to read anything beforehand. A professional Game Master will explain the rules as you play through the opening scene. You'll roll small groups of six-sided dice to determine how your daring actions pan out, with higher rolls resolving complications. The emphasis is on describing bold actions rather than on charts. Expect a quick start, a few examples, and then rapid turns. If you wish, the GM can provide a one-page cheat sheet before the game, but this is optional.

Eat the Reich is designed for 3 to 4 players, but can accommodate 2 to 5. With two players, you’ll experience a tight commando vibe. With five, anticipate louder set pieces and more cross-talk, which the GM manages. A complete mission typically lasts about two to three hours, including a short break and safety check-ins. The pacing is quick, ensuring everyone gets their moment in the spotlight. If your team prefers more time for banter or infiltration, the GM can extend the session towards the longer end of that timeframe.

This game is designed for a single covert operation, not an extended dungeon crawl. There are no long rests, spell slots, or grids to manage. You take on the role of stylish vampire commandos, relying on cinematic stunts while keeping bookkeeping minimal. Failures escalate the situation instead of halting the action, ensuring the story continues to unfold. Combat blends stealth with explosive moments, typically resolved in just a few rolls. It satisfies the craving for daring play and witty pulp war tales, without the commitment of a full campaign.

Content includes World War II Nazis, blood, and violent vampiric powers. The tone is adjustable. Your GM will establish lines and veils with you and can shift from grindhouse comedy to serious thriller, or anywhere in between. We check in during play and keep safety tools at hand, so you control what is depicted on screen. If tone is important to you, exploring different GM approaches can help you align with your group’s preferences. See examples of GM styles on GM playstyles.

Both options are available. For a quick start, the GM can provide pregenerated vampire commandos with unique powers and hooks. If your group enjoys customisation, you can create operatives together in a brief, guided process at the beginning of the session. Either way, you only need a character concept and the vibe you want to play.

It shines as a focused one-off heist. If you’re having fun, your GM can connect operations into a short arc. Consequences from one raid influence the next, targets escalate, and relationships between operatives develop. Each chapter remains concise and impactful, ensuring the story stays high-energy rather than sprawling. The tone can remain outrageous or shift darker between sessions, depending on what your group enjoys. Expect a satisfying payoff each time, with threads you can revisit later.
