Evil Genius wants you to play the Rebel Moon TTRPG!

Help us convince Netflix to release our Rebel Moon TTRPG and acknowledge the contributors to the Rebel Moon universe

In early 2023, Evil Genius Games began working with Netflix and the acclaimed director Zack Snyder on developing a Rebel Moon TTRPG. We signed an official agreement with Netflix on March 22, 2023, to create the game and RPG-related materials, promising a finished game to coincide with the film's release on December 22, 2023.

By May, we had produced a 228-page World Bible (which vastly expanded on the universe envisioned by Snyder), a 430-page Player's Guide, and a 337-page Game Master's Guide. As of today, the game is ready to be released and enjoyed by fans worldwide. And it's AMAZING!

Unfortunately, after delivering this unbelievable world and tabletop role-playing game to Netflix, it canceled the contract and is asserting the IP we created, along with the entire game, now belongs to it. Netflix also refused to compensate us fairly for our work.

A message from D Todd Scott, CEO of Evil Genius Games

We hoped we could resolve this situation amicably. After we reached out several times and attempted to work things out with Netflix, Netflix refused to substantively engage with us. So, after much thought, Evil Genius Games has decided to stand up for itself, and defend both our IP, and this project. So, we filed a lawsuit against Netflix seeking to release the game and to gain acknowledgement of the people who put their passion into creating a vibrant and exciting world for fans to experience around the table. You can read a copy of the lawsuit.

2. Why are we here?

Netflix terminated our agreement on May 25, 2023, claiming that we violated confidentiality provisions in our contract by sharing artwork at an industry trade show called GAMA Expo. This termination came as a surprise for several reasons:

All artwork was sent to Netflix prior to the event for review and approval.
Everything we shared was approved and documented by Netflix months earlier.
The presentation in question was a joint presentation by Evil Genius Games and Netflix staff.

3. What do we want to achieve from this?

First, we want Netflix to let us release this game for millions of TTRPG enthusiasts to enjoy. Second, we want our team to be recognized for its fantastic work. Third, we want to be fairly compensated for the work that we did.

4. How can you help?
