Imagination gaming. Gothic madness. 80s geek-flashbacks. Urban-Fantasy
tinged Steampunk. Pick your poison, pull
up a chair, and stay awhile. Just remember to check preconceptions
at the door.
Geek culture is hot. Dungeons and Dragons is hotter. Celebrity podcasts. Live-play Twitch events. Even a new tentpole movie starring Chris Pine. Showing staggering, year over year growth, over 50 million people now play D&D. Nearly all of them are teens and adults.
Amazingly, in over four decades, there has never been an easy, definitive way bringing younger players into the hobby… until now. Experience a new kind of game, either as a gateway to the perennial favorite, or as a unique doorway to adventure exclusively for Gen Z.
SECRET DOOR: An Imagination Game redefining a classic hobby for the next generation. Suitable for ages 8 and up.
Usually,
a story involving a prophesy would go something like this: Once
upon a time there was a horrible king in a horrible land who
wouldn’t go away. One day, an old gypsy farmer had a prophesy:
The horrible king would eventually be killed by a good knight
with a magic pig who once was an orphaned schoolboy. The knight
would rule the throne in a fair and just manner and everyone
would live happily ever after.
But DEVIOUS ain’t that kind of story. If instead, I were to tell you DEVIOUS involved prophesies of a different sort - Evil prophesies, along with hired goons, mysteries, nasty parents, imaginary friends, goblins, Mothdevils, and roving eyeballs… Well, I guess that would be a bit closer to the mark. Dark comedy-adventure in the vein of Lemony Snicket, Tim Burton, and Douglas Adams. Suitable for ages 8 and up.
Caution!

to clique superiority and upper-grade accolades? Everything’s
on-target for a primo ’86 and ’87…
…Until that bizarro kid moves in down the street – The bizarro kid whose identity struggles and mysterious past cause Derek’s idealistic fantasy world to come crashing around him in suspiciously defined pieces.
No one said growing up was easy. Popularity. Love. Death. Maybe there’s simple answers… Maybe not. THE GRAVEROBBERS dig to the heart of it all. Suitable for ages 10 and up.
