Bad Bets, Bad Debts and Bad Deaths
You wake in a shallow grave in the desert. It’s night. You have no memory of how you got here, or who you are, or the location of your clothes. A scar of neon in the shape of a city squats on the horizon. There are answers there. And trouble.
Alas Vegas is a dark journey through a bizarre and terrifying casino city where everything has a cost. Caught in a war between the Rat Packers who run the place, the players must find allies, the truth, and a way to escape. Memories are recovered, secrets are revealed, old debts are settled, and nothing is what it seems.
'Alas Vegas' itself lasts four sessions, structured like a high-budget HBO miniseries, leading to a revelatory final showdown.
It’s like nothing you’ve played before.
