Haunting melodies and cries of anguish resonate up through the tunnels below the city of the living, up from Drop Dead City. The city beneath a city, an artistic commune unlike any other, packed to the gills with artists who chose eternal unlife over relinquishing their offbeat creative expression, could be anywhere in any world: Wherever you need it to be in fact.
Drop Dead City is an undead, dark bohemian paradise just waiting to be experienced and explored. Down through the depths of the boring old city above, you can make your way to a place where artistic freedom is unrestrained, even by the shackles of death itself. Adventuring isn’t always about swords and sorcery, sometimes it can be about poems and performance art instead!
This systemless supplement will provide you with all the characters, systems and story inspiration that you need to tell your own tales in the counterculture catacombs! Whether you need a quick filler session or the centrepiece of your next campaign, the ghoulish inhabitants of Drop Dead City are here and they’re dying to meet you...
