Songbirds / An Eldritch Fantasy / Otsuka RPG Day
詳細
Once upon a time, two gods lived together in our sky: the god of love and the god of death. Two great and powerful foxes who danced as one. Until one day, in a fit of jealous rage, the god of love was killed and fell from the sky. Now there is but one god. Our sorrowful and tired god who sleeps inside the moon. The dead rise and wander under her crescent glow. Ghosts remain where flesh once was. Bones refuse to settle. Spirits twist and churn into beasts, destroying all in their path, seeking an end to their suffering. No one prays, for they fear what shall happen when she wakes. Sometimes those that die return intact. Chosen by Love, some clamor. Cursed by Death, bemoan others. They are changed strange by their liminality. Mutated. Made supernatural. Gifted with otherworldly power. They are the canary in the coal mine of the moon’s nightmare. The only hope for a spirit to join the moon in her slumber. Songbirds.

You have died and risen again as a Songbird. After a time journeying through the world, finding understanding of your new powers, fellowship with your newfound Songbird friends, you come across a predicament that poses a test far greater than any you have faced before in your new un-life.
Your band of Songbirds is no ordinary one, and you are fated to have your destinies deeply entwined with those of Queens and Kings and The Moon.

I'm intending to run Songbirds as a short open table campaign that I will bring to Otsuka from time to time — that means there will be an ongoing story and world but players are free to drop in and out between sessions while maintaining the character that they have created. (Although this is the first time I am running this system and there is a chance it ends with this one shot)
Come with your polyhedrals and a pencil and eraser! I will have everything else prepared.
