The Great Lich's Bake Off (PBtA)
 |
You are an adventurer-baker seeking a powerful cooking artifact. The Lich is a powerful but ennui-ridden spellcaster who longs to die. They are once again hosting an interdimensional competition to craft the dish that will set their soul free. Prove yourself in a variety of baking challenges¸ and over several collaborative storytelling rounds¸ try to out-bake the other contestants¸ earn the artifact of your culinary dreams... and destroy the Lich's phylactery by giving them the taste they crave.
Bury Mary: The Great Lich's Bake Off is a game of fantastic invention and friendly collaboration¸ combining a love for the friendly competition of The Great British Bake Off with the fantasy tropes of games like Dungeons & Dragons. It is a GM-less game for up to seven players that uses the Powered by the Apocalypse ruleset to keep the focus on a forward-moving¸ cooperative narrative.
Using your own imagination and the tables provided in the book¸ create characters like these:
- Blanche Schreveport¸ an incomprehensibly Southern Lich who achieved immortality by pickling her soul in a mayonaisse jar!
- Beartrude¸ a runic blacksmith from the North Pole who seeks an artifact to ease the suffering of her ailing mother!
- Orioleoli of the Neverending Woods¸ a young druid struggling to live a vegan lifestyle!
- Valerie¸ a faerie witch whose transmutation magic results in unimaginable and unpredictable bakes!
- Svetlana Rasputina-Smirnova¸ a Goetic summoner who hopes to steal Blanche's power to crush the imperialist West!
