Epitaph

A table-top role-playing game for 3-5 people.
2-3 hours
No GM, no dice, no prep.

Epitaph is an intimate look at the events that shape a personโ€™s life. During play, youโ€™ll explore the timeline of someone who has died (called the Departed) in order to gain gradual insight into their world, their identity, and their history. Ultimately youโ€™ll come to know, understand, and empathize with them in a deep, complex way.

Epitaph is GMless and requires no prep before playโ€”just grab your friends around a table or via video chat, open the book, and start creating. The game features a variable level of role-playing commitment: on your turn you can describe a moment in time, create and play a scene with others, or give an interactive monologue as one of the characters from the story.

The tone of the game is up to the playersโ€”it can be anything from lighthearted and goofy to bittersweet and tragic. Epitaph puts you inside the mind of a very ordinary person and leaves you feeling like you knew them
