It’s a great framing device for a book chock full of character options (both for those who fight and work with (as?) the undead), monsters, lands of Undeath, and even an adventure. Allegedly these writings – in our Lost Omens lore that is – are a collection of scrolls that predate Geb. That’s Ancient Osiriani for Book of the Dead by the way. I appreciate how this book is framed as the writing of Geb, specifically his Aleh Almaktoum. As someone who very much enjoys their horror games and playing the monsters of those genres like the World of Darkness, I’ve been looking forward to this since it was announced last year! I find it an incredible step that we now see the approach of how we might choose to play various creatures in our Pathfinder 2E game.
Vanessa and Luis got to sit down with design lead Logan Bonner last week for a full breakdown so make sure to check that out. This book gives us numerous horror elements to contend with or contribute too, especially fighting the undead or being one in play. I love me some PDFs as a subscriber, but the real feel of the book and being able to thumb through it quickly is a real joy. Thrilled to say the sourcebook of our horror dreams – or nightmares – is finally here! Book of the Dead is not only on my computer but in my hands. Separating out the ancient writings from those of Geb would be an involved process, but will be essential for sifting out a complete historical record. We received significantly more than the 20 scrolls we originally anticipated, some of which are quite recent. Though it’s long been suspected Geb used an existing document as the source for his chronicling on the undead, it’s quite clear he’s put his own stamp on it. In this crate you will find a series of scrolls, some quite old and others with the ink barely dry. “ I’m pleased to share the news that we have finally obtained a reproduction of Geb’s prized tome on the undead, smuggled out of the nation of Geb at great personal cost.
