Desperation is a card-based, gothic horror storytelling RPG. Based in historical 19th Century settings, participants will be asked to decide who says or does the things that must unfold until either the story concludes…or everyone dies.

These games will inevitably explore dark themes such as death and violence, but may also touch upon other sensitive topics. Discussion about safety tools (safety cards + lines and veils) will take place at the table ahead of the game.

Suitable for players ages 14+. Each session can accommodate up to 4 players. No dice, pens, paper, or character creation required!
The games will be held in English.

GM Kieran offers you two different adventures:

The Isabel

A three-masted schooner, her pig-headed Captain and crew of malcontents, and passengers with unsavory secrets, are on a course that puts them in the teeth of a vicious gale. The ship is sinking, and the survivors are only just beginning an odessey of horror. On the high seas, through the punishing surf, and finally on a forbidding shore, the living may well envy the dead.

Dead House

There’s a blizzard coming, an unholy storm that will bury the town of Neola as sure as the frozen ground will refuse to receive their dead. Because the citizens of Neola are going to suffer, and the tested, and be found wanting. They are going to kill and worse. The dead house is going to be full.
