Playbook: The Mummy (PBtA)
 |
WAIT!
If you are considering buying this¸ then you should also take a look at The Playbooks of the Dead:
139653/The-Playbooks-of-the-Dead5695
It's a compilation of all of our undead-themed playbooks¸ including this one¸ at a discount.
Normally when people die their souls are claimed by Death and dragged across the bleak threshold of the Black Gate. What awaits them¸ who can say: maybe it transcends into some heavenly realm¸ maybe it gets reincarnated...or maybe there is only a cold oblivion. It is this unknown that instills mortals with fear.
Not you.
Through status¸ sacrifice¸ or knowledge Death no longer holds any dominion over your fate. When you die your soul will be unconstrained by its cold hands¸ free to travel between the land of the living and dead as you wish. For you death is not an end¸ but merely a new beginning.
Like the skeleton the mummy is a change to play something out of the ordinary¸ or perhaps give a character another chance at (un)life.
Unlike the skeleton the mummy is unkillable: your enemies can rip you apart or smash you to dust¸ but in time you will return to plague them.
Unleash terrible curses¸ suffocate them with sand or scarabs¸ bury them alive; woe to any who disturb the mummy.
This playbook comes in two parts.
The first is a 17-page¸ pdf that features the mummy playbook as you would find in the Dungeon World book¸ as well as a "director's cut" section that explains some of the fiction¸ and some extra features like new dungeon gear¸ magic items¸ and moves that did not make the initial cut.
The second part is an actual letter-sized character sheet with some custom graphics.
