They already had some art drawn up for the album sleeve by Juanjo Castellano and some internal illos of monstrous rats and lakes of slime which helped us to get an idea of the tone they wanted. The cover artwork we found especially evocative of early Swedish and Floridian death metal so we were well onboard with that. The guys in the band had some very specific requirements that they wanted to include so we just riffed on those themes and the brooding atmosphere of the record, tossed in some of our trademark scruffy punk attitude and that was that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>EGG: <\/b><b>Why D&amp;D as opposed to <\/b><i><b>Pathfinder<\/b><\/i><b> or another system? <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>DP<\/b>: We play a few different systems but 5e seems to be the most accessible and, arguably, the most popular right now, and that was really important for TBDM, for the module to be accessible to new or returning players. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dungeonpunx\/\">Dungeonpunx<\/a> are fans of the narrative element of roleplaying rather than the mechanics side of things so we tried to keep things relatively light on that front and focused on stupid and fun stuff the players could get involved with.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>EGG: <\/b><b>In the <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nightshiftmerch.com\/collections\/verminous\/products\/the-black-dahlia-murder-verminous-depths-of-drasted-rpg-lite-edition-game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><b>Depth<\/b><\/i><i><b>s<\/b><\/i><i><b> of Drasted <\/b><\/i><i><b>Boxed Set<\/b><\/i><\/a><b>, t<\/b><b>here are dice, a DM screen, maps, and more.
