Death & Undeath

Ghouls—self-actualising corpses, with no magician creating them or directing them like zombies. My particular ghouls are the product of a medieval plague. 

They make more of themselves by biting people, but also pop up spontaneously as reanimated corpses of people that died otherwise. They are foetid, and increase exponentially. They might be fast or slow, large or normal-sized, human or some other mammal. They’re fearless and fairly mindless. 

Sometimes you open a cupboard, and there’s one in there for no logical reason.

This collection of essays was originally written to be in an expansion of the excellent roleplaying game The Darkest Age, written by Eric Staggs with Rob Gee. Unfortunately that expansion project didn’t come to pass, so here we are. 

This material is still complementary to that system, but I hope will also add to any other game that features medieval times, or a plague of ghouls, or preferably both.
