Made for the Tabletop Graveyard Jam.

Luxuries of the Dead is a game that examines the luxuries that you crave beyond the grave and those who do their best to honor the dead.

Player 1. The Dead.
You are dead. In the afterlife you crave luxuries from the living world.

Player 2. The Giver.
You are alive. Your task is to help those in the afterlife fulfill their cravings.

You meet. One of you is in the ground. The other is standing in front of the gravestone.
The game begins.

What You'll Need: Another person and a D20

How to Play:

Before the game begins in earnest, The Dead rolls on the Luxury table. This will give you what luxury you crave - but you add details to it to personalize it. 

After you know what your luxury is, The Giver arrives. The Giver decides why they do this job, and how they may know The Dead. 

The game is in three rounds - in the first two The Dead rolls on a senses table, and that affects one of the five senses of The Giver. 

In the third round, The Giver gets to ask two questions and receives one word answers in response. After three rounds, The Giver decides what to give The Dead. If they get close- or in the same vein, you both win! This game is about teamwork - not trickery. 

You may choose to play one Gift at a time, or you can make your own Graveyard and play until all of The Dead are gifted their luxuries. The graveyard is your oyster.
