Murder Ballet is a totally unofficial John Wick tabletop RPG, made to emulate those movies' fast, fluid action sequences.
You and your friends play Assassins, members of a darkly glamorous underworld, walking a dangerous line between criminal syndicates, rival assassins, and the sacred laws of the High Table. Using your incredible skills and careful strategy, your Assassins must overcome impossible odds and dangerous rivals in a well-choreographed dance of violence.
The rules of Murder Ballet assume competence. Pass or fail, every dice roll moves you closer to your goal - but successes can be chained together into elegant, efficient, and utterly ruthless action sequences.

Designer Retrospective
Murder Ballet was a ton of fun to make, and a ton of fun to play. While there have been many games emulating the John Wick movies (and all of them with better artwork), mine was among the first, and remains my bestselling game of all time.
