#302 Eat the Reich Deep Dive - Lore and Mechanics

Author: Derek Day May 8, 2026 Duration: 1:31:59
Chris, Crystal, Chigg, and David review Eat the Reich, a Rowan, Rook, and Decard RPG where you play as vampires who eat Nazis during World War 2. The game uses the Havoc Engine as its mechanics base. It is a hyperviolent, carnage-filled adventure where nobody is safe. Join us for our deep dive into the source book, lore, mechanics, and overall impressions. We will be doing an actual play in the near future!  Check us out on Facebook or through our Discord server .

Derek Day hosts Darker Days Radio, a podcast that settles into the shadowy corners of horror tabletop roleplaying. This isn't just a series of reviews, though you'll find thoughtful critiques of games and supplements within its episodes. The focus rests on immersive conversations and interviews that dig into the themes and mechanics of the genres that thrive after sunset. Regular discussions center on the personal horror and political intrigue of the World of Darkness, the modern mysteries of Chronicles of Darkness, and the grim, perilous futures of the Warhammer RPGs. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at a dimly lit table where the talk is as much about atmosphere and storytelling as it is about rulebooks. The result is a deep, engaging resource for players and Game Masters looking to inject more tension and narrative depth into their own games. Tuning into this podcast offers a consistent dive into the communities and creative minds behind these iconic settings, making it an essential listen for anyone who finds their best stories are told by candlelight or the glow of a guttering lumen. It’s about the craft and the community surrounding these darkly fantastic games.
