Burial Rites, Death and Dying in Dungeons and Dragons

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Adventurers die. It’s a universal part of tabletop games that focus on combat, like Dungeons and Dragons. However, we spend so much time trying to understand how an adventurer lives without ever considering how they would like to die. Some groups leave the bodies of their allies in dungeons and others simply toss them in a pine box, stick it in a hole, and forget about it.

But if we spend so much time fleshing out the racial and regional cultures of our fantasy worlds, why are we so ready to say that they all have the same traditions when it comes to death, passing, and burial? Burial Rites seeks to present an alternative to the simple pine box.

Burial rituals are highly influenced by the cultures they come from which are in turn influenced by resource availability and their environment. Burial Rites will focus on the core races presented in the Player’s Handbook while also presenting several generic rites that could be made to work with any culture. 

Burial Rites is an 8 page document to help Dungeon Masters and players consider a new aspect of the roleplaying experience, the death of a character and how even in death they can contribute to the collaborative story of the game.

Adding page numbers and a table of contents with links would be great. I also found a typo in "their prey matter pulped". I believe you meant "grey matter"?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
