In the shadow of The Old Mesa lies the cursed town of Dusk.

An ancient evil suffuses the area. Some believe it to be the Devil himself, spreading misery and unleashing his hatred for mankind. Others believe it to be the Maternal Spirit of the town, showing love in a language we cannot comprehend. Fewer still believe the darkness of the town to be a myth, closing their eyes to the curse that surrounds them.

You’ve arrived in Dusk recently. Something has pulled you to this town, something that doesn’t want to let go...

What is This?

Devil’s Due is a Horror Western role-playing game intended for 2-5 players, with one player fulfilling the role of the “Dealer” and the other players taking the roles of “Player Characters”.  Players create characters to explore the town of Dusk and its surrounding area, contending with a villain that has been granted dark powers, and an unnatural draw they feel to the town itself, while the Dealer creates and plays as the villain, the residents of the town, and describes the world around the characters as they experience it.

Place wagers betting your characters wealth, reputation, body, and even their soul with a fun intuitive resolution mechanic that will have everyone at the table focused on every single roll. Cheat the odds in situations where you're an expert, or double down if you're feeling lucky, or desperate. 

Great for one shots, conventions, and even multiple sessions of play (assuming the characters survive.)

To play you will need:

• This pamphlet for the rules

• Two six-sided dice (notated as 2d6)

• Poker chips (optional, though fun to represent chip pools)

Take your first step into Dusk and ask yourself, what are you willing to wager?
