AFTERLIVES

or: All Good Characters Go To Heaven

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT HAPPENS to the soul of a Player Character when they die? Do they get to the celestial paradise that their religion promised, or are they cast into the fiery pit of eternity, or reincarnated as a frog, or what? Afterlives is a single-session RPG metagame that will answer that question and a whole lot more, by building an adventure where the soul of the dead Player Character is the main feature of a supernatural trial, recalling and debating their deeds and misdeeds while they were alive. Arguing in their defence: the other player-characters... and arguing for the persecution is the one person who is guaranteed to know all of a PC's sneakiest acts while alive: the GM. Cue arguments, secrets, revelations, threats, double-dealing, and a whole lot of unexpected hilarity.

Afterlives is a systemless scenario (or 'RPG metagame' if you prefer) for any fantasy RPG or other role-playing game where the characters follow a religion or a patron deity. It runs in a single session, but can be played multiple times with the same group without becoming stale.

Written by Origins Award-winner and ENnie nominee James Wallis (Once Upon a Time, The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen), Afterlives was originally published as a supplement in John Kovalic's 'Dork Tower' magazine. This edition has been revised and expanded, with pictures that don't feature comedy muskrats. We've got nothing against comedy muskrats, but they don't rank highly on our list of essential things to appear in metaphysical dramas about the afterlife. Sorry, John.

"Like its author, it is eloquent, charming and all-together brilliant. You should check it out." —John Wick

"Bears the sure touch of Wallis genius." —Dave Morris, author of Dragon Warriors

Afterlives is a diceless system that can seamlessly stack atop pretty much any game where PCs worship deities or god-like beings. It's designed for when PCs die and you want something more dramatic and meanignful than "make a new PC and di [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
