We're running a game with a scenario focused around a group that decided to play a game in honor of a friend who passed away.

The plan of the master is to resurrect him in the realm of die.

@kierongillen are you interested in feedback?

Mute this thread if you don't want spoilers from both die the comic and die the game

We were 5 people playing in a library. Ezio was the master, and prepared the scenario. I was a player with both knowledge of the comic and the game. The other three girls didn't know the comic or the game

The scenario was basically: we are 5 people meeting to celebrate the death of our old and celebrated master by playing a game. There were five archetypes: the divorced, the writer, the parent, the emigrated and the white collar. Along with loaded questions.

We were all very active in generating drama starting from the archetypes, asking each other questions. The divorced ended up being a straight man who got dumped by his ex-wife, probably because he had no real dreams and goals.

The writer decided she had her career in jeopardy because she copied from another book, and also that she had a teenage old crush on the divorced.

The emigrated decided to be very caustic and mean toward the divorced and also to be a woman frustrated by sexism in tech. I can relate.

The parent had a 15yo son who studied art, and a deadbeat husband

The ritual part of assigning dice went very smoothly. The parent got the dictator, mainly because Ezio, the master/white collar, saw that she was a bit squirmish about certain themes, so he gave it to her to grant her control.

The boring divorced got the emotional knight and chose rage as the emotion. It sounded the obvious choice for a dude.

The emigrated working in tech got the neo, and chose a very robotic-like body

Finally the writer got the fool, with an androginous body and tarot cards as throw weapons.

We got sucked into die and the master threw a cheat token on the table (a black rose) to teleport

The fool was the first to grab her die and transform, and we quickly followed suit. Four fallen and a fallen general crashed the library, and the mechanics kicked in. The fool wanted to examine the books of the library (all with her name on it) but decided to attack instead. Fool

She squashed a fallen, revealing fair gold inside it. The neo went crazy for it, and activated her gun with it. The dictator used her demonic voice to strike fear in the hearth of the fallen general.

The rage knight, not angry at all but confused, impaled the fallen general with his trident, wounding it but not killing it. The fool jumped on his trident to decapitate the fallen general, while the other fallen were swarming the neo and the dictator.

The knight got annoyed at being cover by sticky ichor, and angry at the fact that once again he wasn't able to do anything without someone charging in to steal the credit. The trident activated, transforming into a kind of drill

The remaining fallen went down quickly, and the knight was still angry, so he lashed out at the fool. They went all outside where they discovered that they were in overlook, their old fantasy world, although a bit bleaker. The neo ai confirmed it was a real place, but in danger

The knight apologized to the fool for the lashing out, and said "I chose the wrong character, I don't like this". The neo summoned her pet, a kind of giant earthworm with steel feelers. Cute. The fool found that a book in the library was the infamous one from which she copied

The village had zombies tending the fields and the plaza had a sacrifice going on. The divorced (knight) ex-wife was about to stab the parent (dictator) husband. The fool stopped it throwing a tarot, and there were our first encounter.

We talked with the ex-wife and the husband. The sacrifice was to bring back the kids of the husband from the dead, as zombies. The dictator said it wasn't a good idea at all. The knight agreed. The fool and the neo wandered away.

The ex wife pissed off the knight so much he said "I'm gonna kill you all, it's not like you're real anyway" and started rotating the trident. The dictator stopped him with the voice, Distracting him. The trident flew into the air, and they argued.

The knight agreed to reserve his rage for the master and stormed out grabbing the hand of the fool who came back. The husband of the dictator killed himself bringing back the children to life saying "if you were a real parent you'll understand"

Where did the fool and the neo went? The neo was hunting for fair gold, and the fool followed because she was bored. They ended up in a temple where a mummy-like scribe said to the fool that everyone knew she was a hack. She destroyed the cursed book and stormed out.

The mummy revealed to the neo how to go out of die, along with the promise of letting out the truth about the fool. She accepted.

I forgot to say that the knight trident was very aggressive and awful when it spoke. My god

Walking toward where we thought the master went, we talked. The knight apologized to the dictator, he said that she was right in stopping him and gave her permission to do it again, if needed. The neo insisted that we kept focus on the mission.

The second encounter was when we stopped for lunch at the Great wall. There were three captured fallen in a cell, and the neo hacked them so that they would start recite passages from the cursed book. The fool destroyed their head with the tarots and then went catatonic

We tried to comfort her but then she got up saying "who cares" with a forced smile, and went out. The knight asked the dictator if there was something she could to to help, but the dictator refused on moral grounds.

Third encounter, on the fields of the war between the zombie armada and the amazon drones, we found an encampment of amazon drones, cybernetic giant and muscolar women, who acclaimed the neo as their queen. She ordered them to find the master.

The master show up two days later, along with a knight who revealed himself being the old master, the one who we had just buried. He was resurrected by the magic of die. The master tried to gloat about this being a perfect world and the fool attacked.

The master cheated to avoid the blow and they argued about the cursed book. The master agologized, said it was meant as a joke, and destroyed the book, and all other books. "it never happened. Now we must decide to stay here quickly or the world will crumble"

Another argument with the neo. She wasn't impressed and wanted to went home,along with the dictator.

"we can't kill Mario again" said the master"
"in this place we can erase all our mistakes" said the fool, clearly swayed
"this place isn't real, I have a son" said the dictator

"don't you want a place where they recognize your worth, neo?"
"don't you want your ex wife to crawl back to you, knight?"
"well actually I'm kinda over her now"
"don't you want the knight to love you, fool? I can make that happen"

The knight went like "what"

Things degenerated into a fight. The fool drew blood from the dictator, which decided not to use her voice.
The knight asked to the master "if I stay... Can I change weapon?"

But of course, said the master, and used a cheat token. The knight became an admiration knight.

The fool said to the knight. We could live on one of the nice houses we saw before.

The neo went close to the wounded dictator. "we can't win" and stabbed her and helself.

We needed to close the game because of a lack of time. So they got the fallen sheet just for show, but we decided the others would decide to stay and stabilize the world

The knight and the fool got together and lived happily ever after, running from their mistakes and trusting decisions to someone else.

The neo was forgotten in the real world. People moved on way too quickly. She wasn't missed.

The dictator left behind a child who took a while to forgive her for abandoning her, but in the end he did it.
