THE DEAD
You are a skeleton. Remember who you were. For no one else will. THE DEAD is a simple solo TTRPG designed for the 12-Word RPG Game Jam. In it, you will play as a skeleton, left to fade to dust and with no one who remembers them. But you remember your life, your story, and your name. And you will not let it be forgotten. In defiance, you remember.   Using 5 different fragmented prompts and your tarot deck, you will begin the process of this skeleton's own remembering. Who were they? What killed them? And what do they regret the most? Answers only you will know.  AND FOR THE DEAD, THAT IS OFTEN ENOUGH.
