RAVEYARD

This is the RAVEYARD. It's not a graveyard, but you can turn it into one soon if you'd like. Just remember to have your headphones on at all times!

RAVEYARD is a "Music-Based", GM-less TTRPG for one player where you'll write your adventures and battles with influence of the randomly-chosen music you listen to in that moment.

What You Need To Play

- The rulebook
- A set of the following dice: d4, d6, d8, d12, d20
- Pen and paper (Or something to write/draw with)
- Something to play music with (HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED!)
- And of course, lots of your favorite songs!

The Game Itself

Before the first session of your game, you will create various playlists with the music you want to listen to for those sessions. You can either go random or choose a certain theme/mood, but it's preferred that you put a varied set of songs to help with variation in battles and story scenes! You will also create character playlists, or create said characters based on specific songs.

After that (and making your character), you roll a die, start listening to the playlist and write your scenes/play your battles based on the song you're listening in that moment + the trait that will end the scene (that you get from the roll). You may loop the current song as many times as needed to write your current scene, or you can go Hard Mode and just play that song once and move on to the next as soon as it finishes (Can you write/draw a complete scene with only a 2 minute song?).
