Copperhead County
Copperhead County is a Southern noir game about organized crime and political corruption in a fictional slice of present-day Tennessee. Steal¸ deal¸ and pursue the American Dream in a place where whiskey and blood run together.Copperhead County is Forged in the Dark¸ based on the beloved engine from Blades in the Dark and inspired by media like Breaking Bad¸ Better Call Saul¸ and The Wire¸ plus contemporary crime fiction by the likes of Daniel Woodrell¸ Walter Mosley¸ Elmore Leonard¸ and Attica Locke.
Copperhead County is now a mostly-standalone PDF! The current PDF is a 153-page book with lots of content. This PDF is a living document and will continue to receive new art and content as the book is finalized.
As of now¸ the current state of the game is Playtested¸ Playable¸ But Rough — especially the farther we get out from the last big update. But I try to keep our devlog frequently updated so you'll know what's going on with the game¸ and stuff is always going on behind the scenes.
