'The Grave-sweeper' - A Playbook for Wanderhome

This is a small playbook designed to be compatible with the Wanderhome RPG by Jay Dragon. 

Take up the mantle of the Grave-sweeper, explore the world and listen to the tales of those who have come and gone before you. Debate the meaning of life and death as you perform tea ceremonies, tell stories and dig the occasional grave. With an assortment of jangling bells, coloured masks and a warm cloak for the cold nights, The Grave-sweeper wanders across the Haeth!

Author Note:

A lot of effort went into trying to make this playbook as versatile as possible. However, it was not feasible to include all the research on death customs that I was able to find. I have included things which I think are interesting and which may fit the tone of Wanderhome. 

Some content in this playbook has two or more sides (such as the Kith stories) and it is up to the player to discover these with their imagination and storytelling - not everything is as good as it looks or as bad as it seems. Do not be afraid to take that leap of faith and experiment with the tales you can tell; your journey is your own.
