You Reap What You Sow is the newest release from Nerdhaus Games. This 3-player card-based RPG is an exploration of life, death, undeath, and our regrets and questions about all three. Each player is an undead facet of one formerly-living human: the body, memories, and spirit of one person who find themselves separated and trying to solve the mystery of their death before the Reapers catch up to them and force them to move on in the afterlife and rest. It's an introspective look at how we life and which parts of us last beyond the grave, as well as an introduction to the upcoming Boneyard RPG which focuses on the Reapers and their Omens.

I wanted this project to ask some heavy questions (similar but distinct from my last game, The Long Way Home, a different card-based project for a small number of players) but it was originally inspired by a joke: What would you do in D&D if someone reincarnated and found out the rest of their remains had been parted out into various undead beings? Can you eventually get along with your former body, do you need to have a relationship with them since you all used to be the same person? But eventually, the joke became something else: What if different parts of ourself ended up strangers? Would we know them, or want to, or even be able to be close with them at all?

This version is still in playtest (though fully playable) and will serve as the basis for a custom deck of prompt cards with new art that handles this game all on its own. If you get involved now, the pdf of the final version will be free for you when it comes out!
