Rest in Pieces: Jenga-ish Ridiculous Roommate Roleplaying
Created by Pete "The Landlord" Petrusha at Imagining Games
Fill the shoes of a fed-up deadbeat roommate that happens to share a cramped studio apartment with none other than the Grim Reaper! What can go wrong, does go wrong in this ridiculous game about bad days and difficult roommates.
Rest in Pieces is a dark comedy tabletop roleplaying game inspired by the misadventures, cartoon logic, and over-the-top characters of slacker sitcoms like The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, the Regular Show, Rick & Morty, and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Plays with a Two-Color Jenga-ish Block Tower and a unique deck of 108 cards that teach the rules, describe characters, and create overarching problems. With 14 unique problem scenarios to rile up your roommates, you’ll be ready to play in minutes!
3-6 Players (With GM), 1 Hour, Mature Themes for Immature Play
*Contains suggestive themes, crude humor, and strong language.

Social Stretch Goals
A Certain 80's RPG Icon Gone Wrong!
We are 60 photos towards our next Social Stretch Goal and we have an awesome reward in sight at 100 pics! Welcome the Game Master and his odd obsession with Pro Wrestling to our curious line of Fiend Friend Expansions Decks!
The Game Master unlocks the Gym on the Borderlands Pad! Imagine as hammock festooned walls crowd a largely hidden concrete floor. Looming, faded floor mats, each a unique collage of congealed stains incubate disease. Ancient refuse and laundry lines of steaming singlets further cramp an already mobbed space. The equipment required to wage war on self-loathing resides in this temple to power, a sacred squared circle at its center.
Post picture proof that deadbeat roommates live among us! No one has to know if it is you...
To help us unlock our latest Frenemy, we've added a brand new challenge to our Social Stretch Goals. We want picture proof that deadbeat roommates live among us! That's right, I want pictures! Post pics to your profile of mountainous dirty dishes, a sea of beer cans or pizza boxes, and messes of utter catastrophe. With 40 more images to go of your best deadbeat photos, grim reaper impersonations, and deadbeat evidence, I'm sure we can get there!
As always, post pics to your social media platform of choice and tag #RestInPieces so we can find it.
Chaotic Good Cast
In case you missed it! I joined the Chaotic Good Cast to talk Rest and Pieces and a little retail oriented business earlier in the week. Can you believe Wizards of the Coast is already trying to sell us a "revamped" version of Ravenloft for 5E so soon after the first?
Don't Forget to Vote
You have until Saturday to cast your vote for your favorite Odd Hobby! It is a Kickstarter Exclusive Card for every box set pledge and courtesy of all the hard work done in the Social Stretch Goals so far!
At 100 pics, we unlock a mysterious Fiend Friend expansion deck and add it to every pledge The Dude Abides (or greater) pledge!
Which one do you think it'll be?
Thank you SO much for all your help spreading the word about the campaign! I couldn't do it without you!

We Are Halfway There!
Join us! Post your best "deadbeat" pic to your profile on your favorite social media platform with the #RestInPieces to play!
We broke 50% funding AND are nearly halfway to adding a KICKSTARTER EXCLUSIVE CARD to every $39 pledge or higher! Head to the comments section of our Kickstarter Page to voice your opinion of what type of card it should be and what Dead End Job, Odd Hobby, or Deadly Object you want created.
A Favor
It has been a busy week in the news and I'm sure a ton of people have no idea what we are doing here!
Can you take a minute to pick out someone you know that might like a new fun, fast, and hilarious tabletop game and share the link with them this weekend?
If they like Rick and Morty, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Invader Zim, or practically anything on the Cartoon Network, this could totally be the game for them! Remember, mature themes!
"Beyond its clever comedic concept, RiP represents a mechanical step forward in the golden age of gaming."

My latest podcast interview dropped Friday morning! If you're interested in how TSR came to make Dungeons & Dragons, RPG adventure design, or just a lover of all things RPG, you should be listening to Plot Points. I'm a big fan! This was a very cool experience for me. It is surreal to meet and talk with someone you've heard so many times but have only talked to a couple.
The next Social Stretch Goal asks for our best impression of the Grim Reaper! Pull out a black hoodie or find a black sheet! That pain-in-the-butt roommate, Death, demands tribute! lol

Join me as I watch the crew of Devil's Luck Gaming play Rest in Pieces live on stream! The game starts at 7pm CST/8pm EST. If you've been wanting to see the game in action, what better time than when you can comment with your friends?
They are planning for a one shot so it should run about an hour.
At 40% funded, Rest in Pieces is chugging right along. That puts us on pace to fund, but we don't JUST want to fund, do we!?
We want your deadbeat photos! Show us your best dirty, unkempt, and lazy deadbeat photos. Not only will this be hilarious, it should help us share some laughs and draw in some new backers (win/win).
If we share 50 as a team, then I'll give everyone that is getting a Box Set a Kickstarter Exclusive Card!
At 150, we'll unlock a new Fiend Friend Expansion Deck for Add-Ons and Pledges that include The Dude Abides Pledge Level!
At 300, I'll upgrade a component of everyone's Box Set!
So, let the posts begin!
Feel free to share on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, just make sure you use the #RestInPieces so that we can find you.
Keep on keepin' on!

Please, keep sharing, keep posting, keep telling your friends!
Rest in Pieces is a hilarious game that will be super easy to get your friends to play. You can start in minutes and it plays in episodes of about an hour, so you can always fit a short game in! Players will quickly identify with the deadbeat roommates of their past and fall right into character, even if roleplaying hasn't always been their thing. So, give the gift of roleplaying and bug one of your friends to join the campaign!
