Forlorn Souls
You are a spirit, a ghost. Where did you come from? Are you the result of a failed magical experiment? A visitor from another dimension? Some kind of ancestor spirit? Who knows, maybe you? All that matters is that you'd like to borrow a body to have a go at having physical existence. This one-page micro-supplement has rules for creating a spirit character, possessing bodies and the struggle between the body's owner and the new management. Made as part of DURF Jam 2022. Created by David Anderson as an independent supplement for DURF. The art was created by Emiel Boven as part of his free art library at https://www.cultofthelizardking.com/ Published under a CC-BY 4.0 license.
