# Limbo

### Welcome to the Afterlife! What would you like to drink?

The oldest bar in the Afterlife, the **Limbo Lounge** , has been in continuous operation for millennia. Trends come and go, but the Lounge has been constant: a comfortable place where you can share a drink in good company, Mortal and Immortal alike.

Of course, comfortable doesn't mean dull. Take advantage of the bar, or step into our casino, where you can rub shoulders with the most fabulous AND the most notorious. Enjoy our nightly live entertainment - the finest acts in the Afterlife have spent time on our stage.

If you are a new arrival to the Afterlife, you should spend some time getting to know the place:

**HEAVEN - What isn't good about Heaven?** The ultimate in gated communities: quiet, beautiful, and safe... so long as you never cross the homeowner's association. Heaven is supervised by the Angels, who in turn work for the Heavenly Father, God. Those in the official arm speak reverently and fearfully of the **God-Father**. The God-Father's angels refer to themselves as Wise Guys and prize tradition, loyalty, and ordered hierarchy - but that privilege doesn't extend to _you_, buddy.

**HELL - It's really not as bad as you've heard** Well, most of it is, actually, but some of the redeveloped areas are very nice. Hell is the largest dominion in the Afterlife, and always has been. The **Demons** went corporate aeons ago; the time and energy they once spent climbing the ranks by savaging each other is now spent climbing the company ranks by accumulating wealth and power (with the occasional savaging for old time's sake).

**MORTALS - What did I do to deserve this?** Although mortals have no divine or infernal power, they are the only ones who can generate Soul, which is used as currency in the Afterlife. By performing on stage, dead humans can make enough to improve their lot in Eternity (if they're good), or, if they're bad, to generate enough cash to drown their sorrows in a bottle--as long as an angel or demon doesn't shake you down first!

**Limbo! is a fun, irreverent, theater-style game using mechanics so simple, even drunk people can follow them (we've tested). Players take on randomly chosen, pre-generated roles of angels, demons, or mortals, vying for power, Soul (cash), or just a Hell of a good time. Alcohol is simulated. Players who have some kind of performance talent (singing, dancing, juggling, comedy, storytelling, etc.) are encouraged to play, but performing is NOT required.**

Limbo! would be rated PG-13 for adult themes and sexual suggestion, language, gambling, simulated violence, simulated alcohol consumption, and an irreverent approach to traditional Judeo-Christian beliefs.
