At its core, Dirt City Blues is a game about people who should know better: burned-out Badasses with twitchy tempers, tragic backstories, and a talent for making things worse.

It all unfolds in a world where the motel ice machines never work, the TV only gets static and reruns of Knight Rider, and everyone smells like despair and cologne from a gas station. Think busted payphones, cursed mullets, creaking leather jackets, and enemies who don’t understand the word “retired.” In Dirt City, peace and quiet are suspicious, and usually mean someone’s already dead.

But Dirt City Blues is also a game about redemption, about that one last heroic act that drags you out of hiding. Someone knocks. Someone bleeds. The quiet life ends. You hang the apron, kill the lights, and step back into the fight.

Because maybe there’s still one round left in the chamber.

One player takes the role of the Boss, presenting Problems, playing everyone else, and turning up the pressure.

The others play the Badasses: people who thought their time was up, who left the guns, grudges, and glory behind.

In the campaign, starting in late October, you’ll be able to choose between two editions of the Core Book:

Both are great, but the Slipcase Deluxe (the one in the header!) comes packed with extras: the hardcover Core Book, a stunning alternate-cover slipcase, and The Folder—a growing collection of additional material and unlocked Stretch Goals (more on this at a later time).

And that’s not all. We’ve got some slick accessories lined up too… but we’ll reveal those in due time.
