What it is about
In every corner of the world, beneath tangled roots and weather-worn headstones, lie secrets long forgotten. These Ghastly Graves are not just burial sites, but eerie microcosms of curses, legends, and unquiet souls. Some contain the remains of fallen heroes, others hold prisoners from beyond the veil, and a few have become the anchors for twisted planar magic.
Whether encountered in ancient crypts, forgotten battlefields, overgrown graveyards, or beneath noble manors, each grave whispers a tale of dread—or perhaps an opportunity.
These entries can provide encounters, lore hooks, cursed items, or dark insights into your world. Roll a D100 when your party explores a burial site or when the grave dirt stirs under the full moon.
Nothing here is binding. If a result doesn't fit, re-roll, or let inspiration take over. Sometimes the grave lies to you. Sometimes it hungers.
Example: The party investigates a crumbled mausoleum. A roll of 28 reveals: “A knight’s shattered armor, cursed to speak only in screams.” What began as curiosity becomes a haunting dialogue with a ghost who remembers every blow of a long-dead war.
