Join Your Friends For an Evening Of Scheming, Betrayal and Temptation

Need a break from five foot squares and attacks of opportunity?
Looking for an alternative when half the group bails on your in-depth
saga of super-serious emoting? Seek no further than Skulduggery,
Pelgrane Press’ hilarious new roleplaying game of doing unto others
because they’re sure as heck planning to do unto you.

Skulduggery streamlines the acclaimed core rules of the Dying Earth
RPG, allowing you to play quick, uproarious games of treachery and
oneupmanship in any setting. Fine-tuned for one-shot and impromptu
sessions, it can be adjusted for longer-running series as players
demand.

• The tongue is sharper than the sword. Skulduggery makes verbal
persuasion as suspenseful and decisive as physical combat.
• There’s always another comeback. Don’t like the results when you
roll a die? Skulduggery’s reversals-based resolution system lets you
roll again—if you can afford to pay the price...
• Characters in minutes. The GM hands out stacks of cards. The players
trade for a few minutes. Presto: instant characters, ready to play!
• Wit wins out. Strategic deployment of dialogue snippets recharges
your supply of the points you need to succeed.
• Think you’ve got it all under control? Just when they think they’re
ahead, characters must face their own worst enemies—the all-consuming
temptations driving them to distraction and doom.

Skulduggery comes with all you need to create your own settings and
adventure
