An Epitaph: RP Heavy Collaborative World Building
Epitaph | One-Shot
About the adventure
Tell the story of a life… starting with their death. Epitaph is a biographical tabletop role-playing game about life and the events that make us who we are. Collaborate to create someone who has died, then explore the timeline of their life, eventually coming to know them in a deep, meaningful way. We will collaborate as a team to create a person and the world they inhabited. Starting from their death and working backwards in a non-linear format we will explore their life and the people they effected.

How to prepare
Try to brainstorm what kind of character you would be interested in exploring. Have some inspiration in mind for the world, genre, and era. But try not to get attached. This is a collaborative game and we will try and combine everyone's ideas. But if your specifically doesn't get selected in the way you want, be ready to be flexible and compromise. THE MOST IMPORTANT PART is to be ready to have fun and tug on your heart strings a little, as this is a story about death. Have a discord account and be ready to join my server once you have joined the game. Talk to you soon!
What I provide
I have the rule book and will provide maps and graphics to facilitate the game. I will be guiding the game and filling in for all npc's and side characters that you would like me to. I am mostly here to foster this incredible game and make sure everyone feels immersed and comfortable!
Gameplay details
Any other content warnings we will establish before playing as we all agree on the theming of the person and the world they inhabited. We will first go over any lines: things that will NOT be in the game, and veils: things that exist in the world of the game but we will not be going into explicit detail about. We will have consistent check-ins between scenes to make sure everyone is still comfortable.

How will character creation work
