When Our Mortal Bodies Lie in Death is a D&D 5e roleplaying game of horror/dark fantasy for 4-6 3rd level players set in a homebrew world. It will be 80% writing and roleplaying and 20% dice-rolling. Successful applicants will demonstrate a commitment to strong writing and characters with a great deal of depth. As heroes, you have answered the summons of a mage who tells you of a lost amulet imbued with the power to communicate beyond this realm. As men and women, you have come shouldering the burdens of a sinful past. Some of you are weighed down by shame and grief. Others have cast off their guilt, believing it is only the deeds of tomorrow that will scrub clean the guilt of yesterday. Still others are scarred, within and without, perhaps dodging the law, perhaps fleeing from a scorned family, or perhaps seeking sanctuary from the wrath of an angered god. But you have come. The mage tasks you with retrieving the amulet of black and gold, which, according to his thaumaturgical scryings, he believes to be somewhere within the remote village of Hethton, tucked away in the Kaikros Valley. Upon your arrival, however, you'll find a village preoccupied with its own machinations of passionate love and deepest betrayal, of dark ambition and cruel seduction, and of all that lies beneath. It soon becomes all too clear that your quest will be more complicated than you ever imagined.

Once upon a time, there was a kind and wise and beautiful witch who lived in the forest with her familiars, and their lives were peaceful and happy and wonderful until a WITCH-HUNTER broke into her cottage and dragged her out and MURDERED her and now she's DEAD! But if you and your other friends might be able to bring her back, and even if you don't, at least you can get revenge!
