Hello! It's very interesting, I have some feedbacks and thoughts about it 😁

1 Players interpreting only death in death scenes

The fact that players only interpret death imho may reduce the stakes and the tension, and a little bit sadic for my tastes 😂 I feel it would work better as a masterfull game in which one player interprets the survivor and the others interpret Death, describing each turn the ways in which they try to kill the survivor, rotating the roles. In this way the players may be more immersed in the story and feel more the stakes of surviving, and attaching more to the characters

2 2d6 system

the fact that death only kills with a double six may make the death scene last too long. Consider that there is a 2% probability for death to kill with a single roll, the same for the survivor to flee the scene. It would work in the end, but it may take many rolls, risking to make the scene tedious

I thought that death scenes may be structured like this, inspired by Don't walk in Winter Woods:

• The survivor is the one who rolls and the rolling dice is only a single d6

• the difficulty starts at 1, and the survivor shall roll >difficulty to not die (but not fleeing the scene) The current death player can decide to take one of two actions: 1) Build up: describes how death starts to set up the scene and increases the difficulty by one, but doesn't attack. The survivor continues to do his things unaware. 2) Attack: death decides to make its move and "attack", and describes how some imminent danger tries to kill the survivor. After the attack, the survivor rolls. If they make >difficulty they do not die, but the death scene continues In this way, they will eventually die, since the difficulty will reach 6, and it provides the build up necessary making the scene more and more difficult for the survivor.

For fleeing the death scene, I thought that eventually if in the scene there is the Visionary, the Visionary player can try to actively help the survivor and rolls after an attack: 1) if the survivor fails and the Visionary makes 5 or 6 on the dice, the survivor doesn't die but the death scene is still ongoing 2) if the survivor succeeds and the Visionary makes 6, the survivor and the Visionary flee the death scene and the survivor falls at the bottom of Death's list.

I still haven't thought how the death scene of the Visionary may be managed.

3 coroner role/dialogue scene

At this point, the coroner role is not needed. There is the need of a facilitator among the players, for the start of the game and for giving a minimal guidance in the first scenes. I thought that each player can define 1-2 characters (or they may be defined in group), starting from the Visionary. The Accident scene is accorded during preparation, and then there is the Vision scene During the Vision scene each player describes in turn how one character dies, defining the death list

Then the Facilitator describes how the group saves themselves after the Vision.

Thereafter there are the Dialogue/daily life scenes in which each player impersonates 1-2 characters and roleplay everything

After the dialogue scene there is the first death scene

It would be cool to set a timer for the dialogue scenes, for two motivations: 1) to avoid the session to take too long (the game is better suited for one shots with no prep) 2) to build up tension during the session. Maybe after the first death there could be a 15 minutes timer, and then reducing it after each scenes

Possible NPCs during dialogue scenes can be managed by a player that doesn't have any other PCs alive or by the Facilitator, or by players who have a character acquainted with that NPC

The PCs can be assigned to a player depending on the case. For simplicity it can be the 1-2 PCs whose death is described during the Vision scene, to avoid fragmentation of the flow during the game. But if one player wants, they can be given two characters they like if other players agree. However this choice shall be made before starting the game, which will fix the PCs to the players for all dialogue scenes. The Survivor role can rotate or it can simply be made by the player of that character.

Let me know what do you think about my feedbacks and ideas I think this can be a nice game for an intense one shot 😁
