    ‘Power Kill’ by John Tynes

    It’s a meta RPG. Basically, after you wrap your session of D&D, where the players raided a dungeon, killed all the kobolds and hauled up some loot, you start your session of Power Kill.

    The players, as their new Power Kill identities, are gathered together in a group therapy session. There the DM, as the counsellor, walks them through the horrific series of crimes that resulted in their being institutionalized; how they - apparently in a delusional fugue state - entered an apartment building and moved from room to room slaughtering the occupants and looting any valuables they could find before leaving and attempting to sell most of their haul at a nearby pawn shop.

    But don’t worry… We’re here to make you better.

    Note: This also works with a tonne of other games; VtM, Cyberpunk Red, any superhero game, Call of Cthulhu, Unknown Armies… It’s completely system agnostic, but provides wildly different experiences depending on what you bolt it onto.
