Undeath & Taxes is a short tabletop role-playing game about a team of undead agents getting into weird on-the-job hijinks. Made for the 2024 Street Grimoire Jam.

You are field agents for the National Revenue & Customs Office (NRCO). Your mission is to look into unfiled taxes, late payments, or incorrect paperwork; deal with crooks and disgruntled citizens while upholding the good name of the NRCO. There’s just one problem: While the public are normal people and the rest of the government are semi-secretly supernatural . . . the entire NRCO is made of the living dead and no one else can know. The paperwork would be terrible!!!

Based on the Lasers & Feelings by John Harper with inspiration drawn from Honey Heist by  Grant Howitt. Please check them out and support their content.
