    About this series

    You Died. Now What?

    Where do the dead go when they rest?

    The poetic mystery of death has long been a fascination for the living. The images of warm hearths and a familial embrace are conjured for some, while others picture screaming in eternal torment at the hands of a demon. And yet, clerics have the power to pluck the dead back from that plane, thrusting them back into their mortal coils or even raising them into a state of eternal Undeath. Surely the gods would grow weary of their clerics pinching souls that rightfully belonged in their afterlife. Wouldn't they?

    A partnership forged in fire and blood between musicians, artists, writers, editors, and more currently rests in your hands. The Black Ballad is a 10-chapter roleplaying campaign made alongside DiAmorte's second album, a savage metal opera of cosmic proportions. This saga will let players decide the fate of the afterlife itself while immersing themselves in musical works focusing on loss, acceptance, and determination in the face of one's own death. Will your campaign have the gall to challenge the will of divinity?

    • Over 300 pages, designed with both Storytellers and Players in mind.

      Alchemy is dangerous, especially when your afterlife is on the line.   Echo discovers that Professor Dradon has gone missing in a land beyond the living. With rumors of a strange creature consuming the souls of the deceased, the cleric will risk everything to bring her former teacher back.   With the help of her best friend, the roguish halfling Finn, Echo forms a party of adventurers to find her former teacher. Complications arise when the party mistakenly traps Hale, a mysterious ranger with no memory of his past. Will Echo and Finn find a way to save the professor from a fate worse than death? Or will her dangerous alchemical experiments, no matter how well-intentioned, blow up in her face?
