Take on the role of a lifetime as one of the nine nobles in this tabletop RPG retelling of Hamlet. In this adventure, players will cooperate and plot against one another for the throne of Denmark.

Description

To Be or Not to Be a Villain invites you to experience the world of Hamlet like never before in this unique tabletop role-playing game.

For more than a century, Denmark has been at war with Norway. But after an uneasy ceasefire was brokered, old King Hamlet perished under mysterious circumstances. When a monarch dies without having officially named a successor, it leaves the kingdom to the noble council, along with their vote for whom shall inherit the throne. Become General Claudius, Queen Gertrude, Polonia, Ophelia, Laertes, Horatio, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, or even young Prince Hamlet.

This book contains two adventures, one compatible with the fifth edition of the world’s oldest role-playing game and the other Powered by ZWEIHÄNDER RPG.
