INSIDE THE 800+ PAGES
What waits beyond the veil


I · HAUNTED LOCATIONS
Places the dead refuse to leave
Descend into cursed crypts, drowned cathedrals and the grey realms beyond the veil. Every location comes with its own rules, hazards and secrets, ready to drop into your campaign.


II · UNDEAD MEGABOSSES
Bosses that won't stay dead
Colossal horrors built for multi-phase fights your players will talk about for years. Bring one down and harvest its soul to bind a dark familiar or forge an unholy relic.


III · PLAYABLE SPECIES
Play as the risen
New lineages touched by death, from ghost-bound wanderers to the restless dead, each with abilities you won't find in any other book.


IV · DARK SUBCLASSES
Power with a price
Dark subclasses for every class, plus the Thanatomancer: a full new class that becomes the avatar of one of the many faces of death.


V · UNHOLY ITEMS
Relics that refuse to rest
80 unholy magic items across every rarity, from spectral plate that still remembers its knight to skull-crowned staves that whisper back. Many can be crafted from what your fallen enemies leave behind.


VI · FORBIDDEN GRAFTS
Wear what you kill
Harvest eyes, hands and stranger organs from the horrors you slay and graft them onto your hero. Every graft grants new power, at a price your body may not be willing to pay.


VII · BESPOKE FAMILIARS
Bind a soul to serve you
Defeat a boss and bind what's left of its soul into a dark companion. Ten bespoke familiars, each with its own personality, powers and a lingering grudge against its new master.

THE HOARD · PHYSICAL REWARDS
Loot worth dying for
Reanimated isn't only pages. The campaign brings real treasure to your table, forged in the same grim style as the art inside the book.
- Resin dice sets cast in the colours of the grave
- Sculpted miniatures of the undead and their masters
- Premium hardcover editions built for the 2024 rules
- Card decks for spells, relics and familiars

THE HORDE · MINIATURES
Raise your own horde
Sculpted miniatures of the megabosses, the undead that serve them and the heroes foolish enough to stand in their way. Paint them, field them, and watch your players flinch.

Join the list and you'll hear the moment the dice, miniatures and the rest of the hoard go live on Kickstarter.
