In Small Town USA, a Dragon is asking the cute Orc Jock to prom. The nerdy Undead has been practicing their magic all month in preparation for the big show, and an Elf has just finished tuning up their hot rod, in time for the big race.
And somewhere in the town, their best friend was just murdered.
Americana is a new TTRPG by Sandy Pug Games set in a radically inclusive, magical 1950s. Players build their own incredible town, populate it with gangs and hangouts, then investigate the murder of their best friend in a collaborative, collective storytelling system designed to place narrative and relationships front and center.
Do you like Tabletop RPGs? Murder Mysteries? The 50s aesthetic but explicitly without the baked-in institutional racism that most 50s-themed media likes to handwave as “that’s just how it was?” Then BOY HOWDY does Sandy Pug Games have a game for you!
I’m doing a lot of the art for this awesome game and I’m super excited that it’s finally announced because Oooh man it’s been hard sitting on the content for this one. Please check it out! The KS deadline is November 1st, 10AM EST.
If you’re interested in following along with the game and playtest reviews, you can find @SandyPugGames on Twitter, as well as me at @AndiSupreme where I’ll be posting more WIPs, finished art, and doodles as we go. Also feel free to check out the Americana-inspired audio drama “Tom’s Dead” pilot episodeto get a taste for the atmosphere of the game!
