The Book of Life and Death

Please note: The sample is a work in progress and is subject to change.

Plus, you receive a free introductory setting guide, The Infinite Archives, brimming with lore, history, additional monsters, NPCs, and magic items!

Watch as the party navigates the Archives, tries to tame an awakened book, and faces off against the Book of Life and Death itself! This video captures a full playthrough of the one shot, omitting the first battle encounter for the sake of brevity (if we can call 3.5 hours brief!).

Our heartfelt thanks to Malt and Magic for featuring our debut adventure on their stream. Check it out below:

Kierston is a talented cartographer who specializes in hand-drawn fantasy maps. This being her first battle map commission, she threw herself into the project and is creating a phenomenal paper and ink, hand-drawn battle map of a pulsating hive that is the lair of a chilling awakened tome.

This talented English-based illustrator and cartographer is contributing both a battle map and a dungeon map to the adventure. With a wealth of experience in TTRPG maps, he was an obvious choice when we were seeking cartographers. The battle map is an innovative, 2-part map of gears and cogs with a rotating centrepiece, while the dungeon map hones in on the relevant section of the Infinite Archives, helping to immerse the party in this dynamic setting. Liam produces digitally hand-drawn maps and illustrations. He also specializes in NPC art and we partner with him to create stat blocks for his buxom pin-ups and other NPCs.
