Deadlock

Tabletop / Systemless / 4 players / 1 session
by Jacob Coughlan

Something went wrong, brutally wrong. One minute the manager was handing over the diamonds, the next there were cops everywhere and the store erupted into bullet-fuelled chaos. But, somehow, you blasted your way out and got away.

So, here you are, at the rendezvous point. Only three of your co-conspirators have made it here, and you can only assume the rest were either captured or killed. You have a lot of questions, and you only hope the other guys have one or two answers.

What went wrong back there? Did we just screw up, or do we have a rat in our ranks? Where are the diamonds? And who, if anyone, is getting out of here alive?

Deadlock is a game of accusation and recrimination; a tense standoff with the looming potential for bloody climax. Inspired by the Tarantino classic Reservoir Dogs.
