Selected illustrations from "Gone to Hell", a diceless, post-apocalyptic tabletop adventure with a twist: rather than a single GM setting challenges before multiple players, it’s a lone player squaring off against multiple GMs! These pieces depict a few of the game’s player roles: THE AVENGER, THE HUNTER and THE FOOL, respectively.

Gone to Hell is in active development at the time of this posting; you can find the public playtest draft here:
