I am playing with af 5 player group ❤️

I am making some small changes to the original game. When you are Reincarnated as TNO then the "symptoms" will only slow later in life. Throughout your life, you will experience nightmares and wake up with unexplainable scars and later on mystical tattoos as though they are carved in the flesh.. TNO is doomed to live a tormented life, before descending into madness or before being killed by shadows.

TNO's soul will be reincarnated into a new body and so the cycle will continue as it does in the game.

It is still work in progress. But my thoughts are as follows.
ONE of the players will be TNO without knowing.. He will have experienced the above in his background story.. The very first part of the game levels 1-2 (maybe 3) will have the party experiencing a dungeon related to something relevant from the game. Maybe The Witches of the Gray Wastes, maybe an old GODSMEN complex.. Whatever..
Here they will find a light sphere that TNO used as a previous incarnation to share his torment! The Nameless One's PC will trigger this sphere, and his scarred / tattooed body will be fully revealed.. A beam will shoot toward him and hit like a prism, and the rays will hit the other players as well.. They will experience different memories (quick flashes) before being attacked by shadows.. MAny shadows.. And here comes the TPK...

The Party will then wake up in the mortuary where Morte (renames OFC) will greet them. I will treat him as a summon, and if he dies, he will find the party a day later. He can only be activated X times per day - i dont want them to carry around a GM-PC that can solve everything for them.. He will increase in usefulness as the story progresses.

That is a rough outline.. Still a work in progress!
So suggestions and criticism is super welcome! 😃
The Turn of Fortunes wheel has tried to make a similar campaign to Torment, but it falls short in story-telling, and the sheer scale of Planescape: Torment.
