Where do the dead go when they rest?
The poetic mystery of death has long been a fascination for the living. The images of warm hearths and a familial embrace are conjured for some, while others picture screaming in eternal torment at the hands of a demon. And yet, clerics have the power to pluck the dead back from that plane, thrusting them back into their mortal coils or even raising them into a state of eternal Undeath. Surely the gods would grow weary of their clerics pinching souls that rightfully belonged in their afterlife. Wouldn't they?
A partnership forged in fire and blood between musicians, artists, writers, editors, and more currently rests in your hands. The Black Ballad is a 10-chapter roleplaying campaign made alongside DiAmorte's second album, a savage metal opera of cosmic proportions. This saga will let players decide the fate of the afterlife itself while immersing themselves in musical works focusing on loss, acceptance, and determination in the face of one's own death. Will your campaign have the gall to challenge the will of divinity?
Review :
"I can honestly say that in a very dense panorama of products for D&D5e, The Black Ballad is a must-have. The care with which the entire project was created is undoubted. The quantity and quality of all the materials is such that you don't regret the cover price at all.
If you want an epic, well-structured campaign with a thrilling soundtrack, unforgettable NPCs and intriguing, breathtaking atmospheres, The Back Ballad is absolutely for you!"

"I have read through the preliminary materials for Black Ballad and I must say I am impressed with all that it encompasses so far. The art, writing style, descriptions of locales and NPCs, as well as advice to the DM are all on a level of professionalism that once again reminds me that I find 3rd party creators to be vastly superior to the "official" DnD campaigns and sources. [...] All in all, I must say that I do find that Black Ballad falls into the category of what I would call an "Essential Purchase"."
