In all the confusion, the Corvid Conspiracy has taken root in Laurel’s Canopy, and the twisted Decrees inhibit the clearing’s current ruler, Nanit Osprey, from taking necessary action to oust the Conspiracy. Denizens upset with the failures of Nanit Osprey are beginning to organize into revolutionary groups, and the fuse of disaster has been lit.

PIAGA 1348: Quickdeath
The Ordo Mortis wants you!
We learn from history books that, during the 14th century, a terrible epidemic killed one-third of the European population. This deadly disease was known as the Black Death or Bubonic Plague.
What no document of the time reports (or, if it did, it was burnt as a heretical text…) is that the people who died of that Plague would rise, drooling like rabid dogs, driven by an uncontrollable hunger for the flesh of the living.
You are Soldiers enlisted in an occult army under the control of the Church, called Ordo Mortis(Order of Death), which is fighting a secret war to defeat the Plague of the Resurrected and its terrible consequences.
PIAGA 1348 is a fantasy role-playing game for 3-5 players with few rules to follow, that transports you to a grotesque and sinister Middle Ages without requiring any preparation, with each session unfolding chorally as you pass the scepter of Ludi Magister to each other, switching the lead of the scene.
The Quickdeath contains the basic rules of the game, four pre-generated Soldiers, a complete scenario ready to play, and two additional scenarios to be directly developed at the table so that you can continue playing beyond your first one-shot in the world of PIAGA 1348.
