Funeral Rites

Funeral Rites is a heavily narrative RPG, one in which all the player characters are now dead! Via play, the group will explore the Saga of the now deceased PCs, telling of their Tales in a form of flashback.

The rules are designed to be driven by the use of phrases, with no GM or Dice being needed (although there is a system for deciding things via the fates if agreement proves elusive). A complete Saga can be run as a one shot or across multiple sessions, supporting 2 or more participants. The game can be set in any genre but is particularly suited to the sort of grim doom laden tales of Dark Age or Fantasy style of settings.

The Core rulebook (40 pages)

Phrase summary sheet (a one page summary)

A Hero Sheet (one page sheet)

FAQ (a living document)

A Social Contract (outlining those unspoken rules we all play with in the back of our minds)
