[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 2426327, member: 232"] While the graveyard is a staple of horror movies, it need not be only the province of vampires, slayers and young lovers destined to die before the opening credits. Stereotypical uniform rows of graves or random mausoleums decorated with hackneyed death’s heads works as a mere background in a modern roleplaying campaign, but if a party of heroes finds themselves in a cemetery, they deserve to have that classic feature of the American landscape as real as the alley, the police station or the hospital encountered in the same adventure. This book discusses the important details that help the GM bring the land of the dead to life for her players. Chapter 2 discusses the four major types of cemeteries and the distinguishing features of each. Chapter 3 provides suggestions for using cemeteries in a game, focusing on the types of information found among the headstones. Chapter 4 lists symbols found on tombstones and the DCs for determining their meaning based on a PCs knowledge skills. Chapter 5 supplies the GM with encounters likely in cemeteries, including stat blocks for the more common types. Chapter 6 gives information about a small rural cemetery in west Alabama that may be used in a campaign. Chapter 7 presents a large urban cemetery in downtown Birmingham, Alabama, that may also be used in a campaign. Graveyard Creation PDF is the Instant Cemetery creator, a step-by-step guide for generating plausible cemeteries for any modern campaign. A form for recording the results is also included.
