The network welcomes you to celebrate the release of our setting, Grotesque.
As a gift, we present applicable supplemental material to use when the players stumble upon one of the many brutal slayings they’ll happen upon during their night at the Port of Ludington Maritime Museum.
| Bonus Gruesome Corpse Table — Ten ways to announce how a person has died: | |
|---|---|
| 01 – Head Crush: | The deceased has had its head-beef spattered across the floor in thick strands of gore. |
| 02 – Torn Apart: | The remnants of a human body lay here, and there, and over there. Thick viscera layers the floorboards like pizza sauce, speckled by sinewy pepperoni. |
| 03 – Torso Crush: | The torso lay crushed, with shattered ribs jutting out and messy strands of flesh and organs spilling from the chest like grotesque, blood-soaked kebobs. |
| 04 – Strangled: | Body is intact — whew — but the neck is violently twisted at unnatural angles, leaving the head grotesquely askew. |
| 05 – Mangled: | The body was mangled beyond recognition, limbs twisted and bent in unnatural ways that made you wonder if they were ever this flexible in life. |
| 06 – Stabbed: | The body lay pierced by a nearby implement—whether a pirate sword or a coat rack was anyone’s guess—its lifeless form impaled with brutal precision. |
| 07 – Decapitated: | The body lay headless, the clean decapitation leaving a disturbingly smooth stump where the neck once connected to the shoulders. Where’d it go? Is the statue holding something now? |
| 08 – Defenestrated: | The body lay crumpled below, twisted and broken from the fall, a grim testament to its violent defenestration. Did they see the body fall past a window? Do they witness it over the edge of the balcony? |
| 09 – Organs Crushed: | The body had a gaping hole where something had torn through and crushed a major organ, leaving behind a waterfall of gore, while the corpse’s face remained frozen in a horrifying grimace. |
| 10 – Throat Ripped: | Fresh crimson spills out from the torn neck of the body, layering the clothing in sticky, hot blood. It’s throat splays open, shredded jugular still leaking. |
| 11 – At Peace: | In the quiet of the night, the corpse appeared eerily serene, marred only by its twisted limbs and the dark pool of blood slowly spreading beneath it. |
| 12 – Limbless: | The body is unnervingly dismembered, its limbs conspicuously absent, leaving a hauntingly incomplete form behind. |
