INTERMISSION
To Hell and Snacks!
You're a bunch of anthropomorphic food-friends, just trying to watch the latest movie premiere, Picante's Inferno.
After said movie premiere goes catastrophically wrong, you and your snacky friends find yourselves in your own bologna-adjacent inferno.
With the help of a grizzled jar of Vegemite and his charcuterie board of weaponry, make your way through an adorable, yet terrifying, food-based Underworld, encountering fresh Hell-to-table demons and victual visuals galore. Fight a cartoon devil and try to defeat him before he finishes his birthday cake. Receive judgement. Get back to your seats and finish the movie.

Avoid the Maw.

THE WATCHTOWER
ECCENTRIC ENTROPY ENGINE
Multiple apocalypses have come and gone (and come again). Walls between realities failed, dimensions violently strewn about, shattered and scattered. Two immeasurable rocket boosters literally mounted to an entire continent to steer the entire planet away from entropic death.
All of this, and still, humanity survives. Watchtower Universe is a tabletop RPG following numerous dimension-jumping survivors navigating this world and its surrounding realities, searching the rubble for knowledge.
Strange factions, wringing hands for a stranglehold, all vying for the last scraps of themselves. Gear with a history, the science that powers them lost to magic. Beings of unfathomable power, god-like tech, and powerfully short tempers. All residing within a living universe that gets more real every time a new table picks up the wavelength.

R4LPH, CIRCUIT'S DISPLAY BUDDY
A second screen "DISPLAY" mode acts as the arena's telescreen, visible to every contestant from every corner of the floor. It shows trap detonations, session status, current phase, any timers you might need to worry about, ads for those must-have products, from beloved household corporations, and achievement notifications, so everyone knows about that incredibly cool (or incredibly stupid) thing you just did.
Not to mention everyone's favorite gameshow host, R4LPH!

ACHIEVEMENTS!
Did you just do something cool? Don't worry, we saw it. In fact, if anyone at the table missed it, we'll make sure they know. We not only blast it directly onto your screen, but we also blast it directly onto R4LPH, right over his face! That way, everyone can know about that super cool thing you did! Don't worry about R4LPH, he loves it!

TRAPBENCH. CHAOS MADE EASY.

TRAPBENCH is the digital companion platform for games published under Black Allen & Comatose Anomaly, EPP. It handles session management, real-time sync, tracking of NPC's (and their shenanigans), and each character's bench interface. All so the table can focus on the anarchy, and keep blowing things up.

Each game on the platform runs its own version of the bench. Each bench features different components, different resolution systems, different tracking systems. So many ways to juggle all the chainsaws.
The goal is always the same...give players something to easily wreak a whole bunch of havoc.

The Eccentric Entropy Story Engine powers everything. The rules are bendy. The situations are not.

Get ready for some reeeaal absurd stuff.
