Oh my God.

That page was never put in the final document?? How could I not notice that??? Ill get thst fixed ASAP.

Til then, here it is.

THE CURSE OF J. DOE

As the investigation continues, the Curse of J. Doe will begin to envelope the lives of the morticians.

Every dice roll made will increase the CURSE

of each character by 1. 

Every FAILED dice roll will increase the CURSE

by another d4 points.

CURSE can be rolled back through Magical Acts, spending PSI or MAGIC points to reduce CURSE.

This must be reflected by some meaningful in game action. If a psychic or magic user player runs out of PSI or MAGIC points while in the process of investigating a J. Doe or Necrodiving, they will soon suffer a gruesome and ironic death at the hands of the curse. 

CURSE EVENTS

Points              Effect

5- Poltergeist activity effects the mortician: vehicles and devices glitch out, lights flicker, strange things are seen out of the corner of the eye. Odd things are heard in empty rooms. The cursed begin to suffer hallucinations of fake evidence that the others are out to get them.

10- A minor paranormal effect related to the Abyssal Lord is inflicted on the mortician, such as a horrible lumpy rash for Satan, black mold suddenly being in places and on things the mortician interacts with to an uncanny degree for alagnus, a throbbing itch in the chest for Rugon. 

15- Players start slipping into liminal spaces that look like reality, but are really thresholds of the Lord’s realm. The Mewling will be found here.

20- Unknowing lunatics possessed by the Lord at hand start getting drawn to the morticians. Some wish to deceive and mislead them, some think they are trying to save their souls. Some want to wear their faces. Some of these lunatics may actually be manifestations of The Cruel.

25- The paranormal effect inflicted on the mortician gets worse. One stat reduces by 1 level.

30- The Mortician must make regular MOXIE saves, or find an occult talisman of protection, or they will become temporarily possessed by the Ascended.

30- The Wretched will begin to manifest in the liminal spaces.

55- The Mortician meets a gruesome end.

I'd love that!!! Go for it! I can put together a Squishy 3rd Party logo thing to put on it for ya. shoot me an email at elluchadore@hotmail.com when you have it nearly finished

everyone keeps saying this but nowhere in the manual does it explicitly tell you how to do this, can't someone just actually tell us how

this game would honestly have been far better without the narration text, just letting the images and sound design speak for themselves would have been more impactful

does this work? /__site/surgeryhead.itch.io/hawgpyrvwh

woah thats so weird, why is it doing that i wonder?

/s/195830/the-squishy-collection

it is done!

They should be, yes, although im not entirely sure if they ever sold out of the last print of the OG squishy sourcebook and then moved on to the final version. everything else should be grand

shoot me a reminder in a day or two and i'll figure out how to put that together

HELL yes <3

The main downloadable pdf is up to date, moreso than the one in the update to combat rules post

I think it was an updated version of the core rules that ive since updated again, but ill check just to be sure

The new main book is completely updated, its basically a stealth second edition at this point. Or so its meant to be anyway

Where from did you get the main sourcebook from? Exalted Funeral? I was under the impression that all of the physical editions for sale now are the updated ones. I'll be pretty dissapointed with EF if that isnt the case

Also, Im now sure what youre asking about with regards to it being available to download. Are you looking to download the updated ruleset or the old one? 

Ill hop on my laptop tonight and make sure everything here is the currently updated version. Itd be quite embarrassing if it wasnt

like what about anything above made you think it was a videogame

its a tabletop roleplaying game, moron, the pdf is the game

This is great! please make more!

Thank you very much Im glad you took the time to play it!

haha 😂 glad to be of service

Thank you! Im going to do a print run for sure. Maybe in March? Hopefully Exalted Funeral will publish it too, but ill definitely print my own run if i dont hear from them before that.

This game is super fun! it crashed during the fly boss for me tho, which was a shame

drop me a line at elluchadore@hotmail.com,

thank you!

alrighty that should be fixed now

Hi! this is a known issue with clickteam fusion 2 games. Ive just figured out how to fix it, ill upload a new version today and that should work! 

I'm glad you like it! Happy gaming!

Yes! There will be one coming from Exalted Funeral. I am also doing a limited physical run for Kickstarter backers but if there are copies left over from that I will let you know

oh whoops, thanks for catching that. it's there now

The music actually takes away from the horror. Less is more, remember that and you'll go far

I do have some prints but there was a misprint so there's an extra blank page at the end, but I've been drawing an extra monster in there and sending them to my patrons. If you'd like one of those email me at elluchadore@hotmail.com with your address and I'll send it to you

Hi! I'm so glad you enjoyed. I've been working on a physical version for the last year. It just went to print a few weeks ago! Keep an eye out on Exalted Funeral, it should be out soon 

Yes! I'm just waiting for Exalted Funeral to release it! Hopefully they'll pull the trigger soon! Thanks so much for your support 😁

Thank you! I hope you enjoy!

Hi! Sorry it's taken so long for me to respond to you.

When it comes to Ferocity, the monster needs to pass a ferocity roll to land it's attack but the player can get out of the way with a Survival roll if the GM allows it.

For horror, it's the PLAYER that rolls against the monster's horror stat, and they have to roll above it.

That's how I run it anyway, but you're welcome to re-interpret the rules as you see fit!

They're gonna reprint it eventually, but im also planning on doing a limited run for my patrons. If you send me 10$ and email me with your address- both my email address and paypal is elluchadore @ hotmail.com, ill send you a physical copy when i do the print run, which will be soon. Youd get it before September

Hi! You can get them here https://www.exaltedfuneral.com/products/dance-til-yer-dead-pdf

Hi! Email me with your address at elluchadore@hotmail.com and I'll send you a copy!

Hi! Sorry for taking so long to get around to answering..

About combat.

For Ferocity, the creature rolls, if it hits, you can choose to allow to give the player a SURVIVAL roll to dodge the attack, unless the attack is something they couldn't dodge, for example if the creature had them pinned.

For horror, the players have to roll under the monster's horror stat. The monster doesn't make that roll.

About Magic. 

1. Yes!

2. The player has to roll under 15% to start off with. Magic is very powerful but hard to do. You can widen that 15% if you want by having the player using ritual items, or herbs, or talismans to boost their magic. But essentially if they nail that 15% they can go "and then this happens" and you can't contest them (within reason) because magic. Either that or you give them some "Monkey's Paw" type version of their spell happening.

3. Your magic points are = the stat you assigned to your magic powers

Thank you so much!
