People do shady things. I'm not talking about from just time-to-time or done by the wrong sort of person, I mean all of them. All the time. Screwing over people for personal gain is kind of a thing we do. Animals too, don't even get me started on that. People though, we've excelled at it, I think. Turned it into an industry, like kidnapping and blackmail. Blackmail especially is about as shady as it gets. You get some dirt on someone and they pay you a stupid amount of money to keep it hidden or else you expose them to the people they cherish the most. Family, co-workers, the public... whoever it takes to make them sweat that cash into your greedy hands.
Some deals go wrong and that's what this game is about. It's all about the day a blackmailer decides to go for the big score and things take a turn. Maybe it all works out, maybe someone ends up dead. That's why we're using a game of poker to keep it all civil. It's a simulation, an exercise in testing out your morality in the face of adversity. Or maybe it's just a way to pretend you're in a Tarantino movie. Either way, this is called The Deal.
The Deal is a 4-player "poker larp" where players take on the role of fictional characters during a game of poker. Special cards are inserted into the poker deck to create plot twists that will keep everyone on their toes as their characters struggle to not only win the game... but win back their lives.
