This is a tool for RPG story design

Inquisitor Kada’s Exquisite Corpse is a toolkit built for you to design a world for RPG stories. This book is written to work for any game you play — if you’re a dungeon master, a referee, or a keeper of arcane lore, you’re a story designer.

Your guide is Inquisitor Kada, and her dying memory is poisoned by the sinners she’s put to the rack.

This is her journal, the enshrinement of her failing mind. You will find her words muddied with false confessions and half-remembered hagiography. Her thoughts are not her own anymore…The Heretic King lies through her pen.

What's inside 

In addition to the design tools, this 211 page book includes:

  • An alternative vision of the world — Weiroads — to explore and customize

  • 27 interconnected characters with illustrations and backgrounds

  • 27 monsters with illustrations and lore

  • 27 unique items with illustrations and lore

  • 9 saints and their hagiography

  • 3 cities unique to Weiroads with cultural, political, and religious backgrounds

  • 3 unique environments with illustrations, lore, and hex-crawl maps

  • Tons of rollable charts for world-building

The world of Weiroads 

Weiroads is a globe-sized supercontinent of endless sands. The land is cursed by dead gods and heretic kings. Folks dwell in ancient cities clinging to the last defensible positions or else cleave to their caravans in the vast desert to survive.

You can explore environments like the ruins of Old Koderynth or "visit" the Inquisitors in the tower of Aklinor to recover forbidden knowledge.

Characters

You'll get 27 interconnected characters and 9 Saints with backgrounds and illustrations. You can use these characters as written or customize them for your own story.

The Reliquary

In Weiroads, items and equipment are called "relics," and this book includes 27 of the most sacred and vile relics this side of hell. Each is illustrated and includes lore written for you to customize.

Horrors 

No RPG is complete without something beyond the blackness of the vast desert at night — this book includes 27 monsters like Inquisitors and Heretics; hive-minded mutant vultures, and Eidolons of vengeance.

Session zero mechanics

The book includes 99 questions for Inquisitor Kada to interrogate you and your players building out your world’s Themes, Limits, and Spaces.
