In modern Japan, a supernatural force—the Death Note—changes the balance of life and death.


Author's Note: Welcome to the morally complex world of Death Note. This campaign invites players into a world where knowledge is lethal, secrets are currency, and every move has consequences. Unlike traditional fantasy campaigns, this is not about slaying monsters or amassing loot. Instead, it's a battle of wits, deduction, and manipulation, set in a world where the supernatural lies just beneath the surface of modern Japan. Players may operate in the shadows as Death Note users, pursue justice as investigators, enforce the law, or simply try to survive as civilians in a world on edge. The gameplay centers around tension, secrecy, and discovery. The Death Note itself is a unique and dangerous tool governed by strict rules—capable of reshaping the world if wielded cleverly. Meanwhile, law enforcement, criminal factions, and supernatural beings like the Shinigami complicate every choice players make. Players are given full narrative freedom. The story is open-ended and reactive, allowing the world to shift based on alliances, betrayals, investigations, and moral dilemmas. Canon characters from the anime exist in the world with their original personalities, but the timeline and events are shaped entirely by the players' actions. This is a game of cat and mouse, of gods and ghosts, of logic versus lies. Victory may come not through combat, but through deception, observation, and calculated risk. Welcome to the world of Death Note—where your next move could be your last.
