We Die Young - Supernatural Roleplaying in the 1990s

A spiritual sequel to Bloat Game’s 1980s-based RPG, DARK PLACES & DEMOGORGONS, WE DIE YOUNG is set in Seattle in the 1990s during the grunge and alternative music counter-culture movements.  Seattle became the epicenter of popular culture and began attracting musicians, artists, and supernatural creatures from all over.  This game is heavily inspired by the music of Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and many more.

In WE DIE YOUNG, you play as 20-something humans, Vampires, Werebeasts, Mummies, Fey and Fairies, and multiple other types of supernatural creatures and character classes.  Each creature and character class has its unique history and abilities.
