    Buckle up for "HOW'S MY DRIVING?", a gritty horror hack of the Daggerheart system by DNGN Club Games. Set against the rain-slicked backdrop of early 2000s Oklahoma, three friends—The Group Mom, The Loverboy, and The Baddie—find themselves stalked by a relentless killer on the Cimarron Scenic Byway.

    What starts as a bonding trip to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers quickly devolves into a Thelma & Louise meets Slasher-Horror nightmare. Featuring high-stakes vehicle combat, improvised office-furniture weaponry, and a terrifying villain sporting a shopping bag as an impossible mask.
