Get Ready for Skellies: an RPG of goofs, liches, and skeletal buffoonery

Congratulations: you are a skeleton.
 
In Skellies, your goal is to impress the lich that raised you from the dead. Liches seek immortality and power for one reason or another, and yours is probably no different. What an honor it is to know your maker, or to be in their presence! Sure, being alive seemed okay, but being dead is much more fun.

Over eternity, every lich becomes a weirdo: by going along with it, you may earn enough favor to see tomorrow.

All you need is a handful of six-sided dice and a few minutes to get started: the rules themselves are covered in under ten pages (and again on the inside of the back cover).

Skellies has been purposefully designed to have the most fun possible when someone calls out of game night at the last minute.

Character, lich, and lair creation takes moments. The rules are short and purposefully goofy. There are so many rollable tables.

Think OSR but it's an undead office comedy, and Benny Hill is always playing in the background.

It's really fun, and really free at playskellies.com. 

Game Book. The 80-page hardcover book of the game rules, the same as what you'll find in the digital PDF. Has a little ribbon bookmark. Makes you look cool.

Player Book. A softcover book with 50 tearable character sheets with quick-reference rules. At the back of the book are perforated wet-erase ready item squares for tracking inventory!

Dice. Each of these seven d6s has a different skeleton face on its 6 side! The edges have satisfying, bonelike cracks that make it feel like an illustration. Comes in a delightful coffin-shaped box. Genuinely fun to roll.

* Reversible Dust Jacket with Alternate Covers. Features a wrap-around version of the standard cover's scene on one side, and an alternative book cover option for "The Ethics of Necromancy and How to Ignore Them" on the other.

* Lich Dice Tower. Made of punchboard and assembled at home with some simple slot-ins. About 10 inches tall. Looks awesome on a shelf even when not in use.

* Stickers. Cheeky skelly stickers and a hand holding a dagger. Water resistant. Will add to street cred.

* Premium Necronomicon Tome Box. Deluxe box purpose-built to look good in your library as a handy Necronomicon tome. Has a convex spine and concave "paper" edge with a built-in magnetic clasp. Seriously cool. Fits everything from the Extra Dead Edition bundle and both A4 and Letter papers.
