Who We Are
Dead Box Games is a partnership between founder and game designer Frank Tedeschi and artist Derrick Nau. After a raucous night at our local brewery, we realized we had a mutual love of RPGs, a lot of opinions, and a desire to collaborate.
Frank, a PhD biochemist and long time Dungeon Master started Dead Box Games with the release of the beer forward board game Alestone in 2015. Derrick, an artist working in animation, joined in 2019 to collaborate on the card game Goblin Teeth, published by Jellybean Games.
We forged our working relationship in these board game releases, but our shared passion came to light while playing in Frank’s 5E D&D campaign. There was just something special about the game, and we wanted to explore why, and how we could share that with you.
Truly great games of D&D are hard to create.
Our thoughtfully crafted adventures will inspire you to tell unforgettable stories with your friends.
Bring your game to the next level with…

Reveal intricate details, recurring themes, secret treasures, and deep lore for your players. Pull them deeper into the narrative and keep them wondering… what's beyond the next door?
Traps & Puzzles
Tricky traps and mind melting puzzles bring new dimension to your game. Watch your players come together to solve problems, grow together, and become a stronger party.
Role-playing
