DIE RPG Scenarios Volume 3: Magic Isn’t Real is our third softback DIE RPG sourcebook. This time, we’re ruining childhood. Every volume features a foreword and scenario by DIE creator Kieron Gillen and cover art by co-creator and artist Stephanie Hans.

No Rezes (Kieron Gillen) is a classic DIE scenario. Every GM’s got one weird house rule. For this Master it’s “no resurrections.” When the group gathers to revisit their teenage fantasy world, they learn why – and get tangled in their old GM’s quest to resurrect someone whose loss defined their childhood.

Childish Things (Chloe Montgomery) is, by DIE standards, a lighthearted scenario. A family’s about to leave the home where their kids were born and raised. The youngest isn’t ready to move on, and over the course of a family game night they make it everyone else’s problem. Features colossal teddy bears, the Wizard of Debt, and – if you’re lucky – breakthroughs in intergenerational communication.

Sins of the Past (Steffie de Vaan) rounds out the collection. The last time you played games together was an experiment – a new horror LARP that you played out in the forest, where nobody would interrupt you. One of your friends died. Now you’re going into DIE’s twisted version of your last game to reckon with what you did.

DIE RPG Scenarios Volume 3: Magic Isn’t Real contains full-colour interior illustrations by Emily Cheeseman (Pentiment, King of the Castle).
