Death is only the beginning as Day 18 of #WildMagicAdvanced2E has our party playing The Revenant Society by @bananachangames.bsky.social and @senfoonglim.bsky.social.

Want more indie #TTRPG one shot ideas? Keep following along as a new #WildMagicAdvanced2E prompt is posted every day in December!
White text on a pink and purple background reads: "The party finds themselves in a waiting room. Without needing to be told, they can tell that they are dead - or rather, undead - as their bodies show evidence of decay. The receptionist clears their throat to get the attention of those assembled. “Welcome back. If you’re back here, it looks like you’re going to have to try again.” With a sigh they hold out a file folder, “As a reminder, the victim entered the first class train car at 12:03p, when it stopped at the next station at 12:14p, they were dead from a stab wound in their chest. No one was seen entering or exiting the car during that time. You must stop it from happening. If they are killed again, the loop restarts. Hopefully the 6th time is a charm.” Play REVENANT SOCIETY by Banana Chan and Sen-Foong Lim for the next session. When the party can successfully solve the mystery before the loop restarts, the rift opens and returns the characters to the origin world."

Made an honest-to-goodness physical prototype for the first time in a while. Feels like coming home lol. Then, playtested a game with @offthepagegames.bsky.social which crashed twice and had some weird technical issues. I greatly dislike remote playtesting lol.
