RPG UPS Booking DIE Interview: Kieron Gillen and Grant Howitt Discuss Influences, Aspirations, and More About Kickstarter TTRPG

Kieron Gillen, author of the award-winning The Wicked + The Divine and Phonogram, teamed up with veteran TTRPG designer Grant Howitt, to adapt DIE into an actual tabletop role-playing system. Gillen's highly metafictional and at-times emotionally devastating comic about role-players trapped in their game world, DIE explores the relationship between reality and fantasy, identity crises, and confronting trauma through fantasy. The forthcoming RPG, currently raising funds on Kickstarter, is structured around the same premise, with players adopting a dual identity of fictional gamers in the real world, who are transported to a harrowing other world.
