Adventurer! Bad news: You're dead. Good news: This all-new Black Ballad Bundle presents the bargain-priced .PDF ebook version of The Black Ballad, the epic Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition tabletop roleplaying campaign from Storyteller's Forge Studios that starts where other campaigns stop, with a TPK (total party kill). You and your fellow high-level heroes wake in the Sunless Crossing, the great waiting room of the dead, with your obituaries written and survivors calling dibs on your boots. Maybe a cleric can pull you back to the living world, or maybe you'd rather push on to your final reward. Will you accept the fate written for you, or rewrite it? Either way, you must survive (if that's the word) the politics of Nox Valar, the city of the dead, and a catastrophe that strikes the afterlife itself. And in the course of ten cinematic chapters, you'll fight at least one god.
Funded in a big March 2023 BackerKit campaign, The Black Ballad plays like a savage heavy-metal opera of cosmic proportions. The campaign is designed for Tier 4 heroes (levels 17-20), but you can run it at any level, whether your party fell at 3 or 19. Encounters use new mechanics like Divine Grit, which lets you take unique actions at a cost, and every NPC comes with a social stat block – including whether they're romanceable. Not even death can still the roving heart.
This Black Ballad Bundle gives you everything you need (aside from the D&D 5E rules) to send a party of the newly dead into the great beyond: DRM-free .PDF ebooks of the complete, full-color 320-page The Black Ballad campaign book (and its free Pathfinder 2E Conversion Pack), along with the Map Pack and the one-shot adventure Gamble of Fates – a retail value of US$50 for just $9.95.
Listen to the whole Black Ballad soundtrack by DiAmorte on YouTube. Each chapter of the campaign pairs with a soundtrack, so your characters' journey through death plays like a concept album.
(Note: The Map Pack is not available on DriveThruRPG. Download it from your Wizard's Cabinet page here on the Bundle site.)
