You know the way these stories go:

Thirteen years ago, four struggling musicians made a deal with the Devil. What were they chasing? Fame, riches, adoration. Your classic Devil fare.

What happened next? Well, you know the way these stories go: the damned fools got it in their head to try and outrun their end of the bargain.

See, the Devil is coming to collect his due, and he doesn’t take kindly to those who can’t cough up. Which brings this story to the four of us here, now, huddled in the back of a freight car on a train hurtling to the one place the Devil will never catch us. One final, desperate shot at immortality.

And if we’re lucky? By the end of the night, one of us will still be left alive to tell the tale.

LAST TRAIN TO BREMEN is a storytelling game of doomed musicians and poor decisions. Perfect for a self-contained one shot, LAST TRAIN uses snappy rules based on Liar’s Dice and other push-your-luck dice games to deliver a tale of secrets, tension, backstabbing, and betrayal.

Build your band, saddle them with baggage, flee your cursed contract, and reflect together on all the choices you made that led you down this sorry path.

Three hours, roughly • Four players, exactly • Thirteen six-sided dice

By the looks of it, this seems to be a cool rpg! Is there an overview somewhere of the rules and contents of this game?

Hello! Are you able to send me an email: ash@long-tail.games 

This is the perfect structure for a new project I'm working on. Can we talk collaboration? 

Hi! Waow this pitch is awesome.  Give me chills!

Can you explain if this is a classical TTRPG or a GMless one?

It’s GMless! While you’ll want at least one person to keep the rules on hand to help facilitate, it should still be playable with four players who are sitting down with the text for the very first time.
