Project overview
The New York Times Best Seller, CHEW, is coming to a game table near you! Take a bite out of crime in this foodie, dark-comedy tabletop role-playing game about cops, crooks, cooks, cannibals, and clairvoyants in a clucked-up world.
We're building off the popular fiction-first game mechanics of Forged in the Dark to bring the action-packed comic series of food crimes, over-the-top characters, and out-of-this-world conspiracies to life.
Set in a world where chicken is illegal after a catastrophic outbreak of the bird flu killed over 100 million people, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration is now the most powerful law enforcement agency on the planet.
As a member of the Special Crimes Division, it’s your job to investigate food crimes like chicken trafficking, egg dealing, and putting food-powered criminals behind bars.
Can you balance the demands of your job and the needs of your family against the fate of the world?
Sit down, dig in, and find out!
Don't miss out on our Pre-Order Exclusive Special Edition Sets signed by CHEW Creators John Layman and Rob Guillory in our Featured Products below.
--> PDFs are expected to deliver in July/August with a Print Release in Fall 2023! <-- Updated 5/31/23
