O,Death! - Game Pitch

 


O, Death! is a Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC)-compatible adventure set in the Shudder Mountains. Although the scenario could be dropped into any DCC game wanting a little diversion into a dark mountain wood, it shines (or glows ominously) as part of the Appalachian world of The Chained Coffin written by Michael Curtis and published by Goodman Games. 

The adventure begins with a humble journey along a mountain stream, but when the high lonesome music starts, the players journey deep into the Shudder Mountains and thousands of years into the past, encounter an Ice Age god, mummified serpentfolk, and even the Grim Reaper himself. It is a story of love, ancient vengeance, and Death. Imagine your own telling of this story that finds its roots in the writing of Appendix N author, Manly Wade Wellman.

In the Subversion tabletop roleplaying game, you and your friends play as envoys, representatives of your communities taking direct action to serve and save the people around you. But there’s a catch. Both your character, and the community they are a part of, have values that are important to them. Trying to subvert the oppressive world around you while also holding true to the values you and your community care about, isn’t an easy task.
