The Beautiful & Damned
A downloadable game
The interminable, torrid summer of 1925. Your vacation in the South of France seems to be stretching into eternity, an endless repetition of breakfast buffets, cocktails, and sitting in the sizzling sand while the ocean pointlessly sloshes itself about. The hotel is indecently luxurious. You are extremely rich, but bored out of your skull and unbearably hot. The other rich, bored residents of this hotel have started to develop a wicked look in their eyes. Perhaps they have guessed that you are lying to conceal your scandalous past. Your only choice is to expose their own shocking secrets and ruin them socially before they have the chance to take you down.
In The Beautiful & Damned you are the kind of character you might find in an F. Scott Fitzgerald story: a Jay Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan, Dick Diver, Myrtle Wilson, or Anthony Patch.
To play you need:
- 3+ players (no GM)
- 2 six-sided dice

Do you plan on translating this game into different languages in the future? :D
Hey there! I'm a little free library lady. Would you be cool if I printed out some copies of this and included it (with dice!) in little free libraries? I have these cards I had printed up that I write in where to find you. Thanks in advance!
Wow, I would be very delighted!
Awesome, thanks so much!!
an absolutely stellar game! i can't remember the last time my table and i have laughed so hard. we ended up weaving a tale of love, lust and the many services provided by a divorce lawyer to the stars. 10/10 would recommend!
Amazing! Glad you enjoyed it!
So! Some friends and I did a playthrough of The Beautiful & Damned on our podcast! Went so freaking well. Story was so fun. We used secret-creation tables from my hack and built rules for NPC interaction during play. Check it out below:

Oh, this is amazing. Mind if I share this around?
Not at all! It was so much fun. Thanks for making this game
Hello, I made a hack of this game that's currently located here. It's currently unlisted. With your permission, I'd love to make it public. Tell me what you think. Thanks. https://mstrocks.itch.io/whats-so-beautiful-about-the-damned
Yeah, please feel free! Glad you liked my idea! Good layout, and the name of the game itself also very funny.
Hey thanks so much!
