Head: The Severed

Welcome to a world of mystery, a world of horror, a word of dark… Well, let’s just say a world which contains darkness is such an abundant quantity that it is one of the more noteworthy aspects of said world without infringing on any existing trademarks.

Anyway, as I was saying, welcome to the world of Head: The Severed. A world where the Severed try to find their place living in the shadows. Once human, the severed lost their humanity along with their bodies… they’re severed heads, that’s the gimmick here.

However, unlike most severed heads, the Severed have mysterious powers like floating ominously and being able to function despite being severed heads. Sure it may not be as glamorous as being a Dracula, a Wolfman, or a Frankenstein, but that’s what we’ve got.

Head: The Severed is a rules-lite game inspired by other games with a naming convention of Thing: The Other Thing. Using a simplified version of the rules found in those games, and allowing players the opportunity to play as undead severed heads who can talk, bite, and float ominously, making the most practical type of severed head to play as in a role-playing game.
