A return with meaning
Bring someone back into a story that continues.
Connect the person, a willing soul, the ritual and the life waiting afterward.
Prepare a choice worth playing
Set clear requirements, a ritual and the soul's decision. Carry the outcome into relationships, memories, faith, law and unresolved debts.
Return methods, requirements and consent
Choose what a return asks of the living.
Explore divine, arcane, natural, pact-bound or spontaneous return. Set body availability, time dead, the willing soul, the petitioner and any rival claim.
Prepare offerings, prices and possible substitutes. Keep the requirements connected to the setting and leave room for the soul's choice.
What you can prepare
A person. A ritual. A changed place in the world.
Build a complete return guide, then refine the details your session needs.
Begin with the person
Choose who died, how it happened and how rare resurrection is in the setting. Keep the person at the centre of the return.
Choose a return method
Explore divine, arcane, natural, pact-bound or spontaneous paths. Set the methods your setting permits and the requirements each one carries.
Respect the soul's choice
Record willingness and any rival claim on the soul. Prepare the moment the person chooses whether to return; consent remains part of the story.
Set the requirements
Refine body availability, time dead, the petitioner, ritual requirements, offerings, price and possible substitute prices.
Prepare the ritual
Build ritual stages, a possible interruption and one meaningful complication. Give the return an event the table can play.
Offer a glimpse beyond
Describe a memory, vision or glimpse beyond death. Decide what the returned person remembers and how that changes their perspective.
Choose the consequence weight
Make the return gentle or demanding as the story needs. Consider repeated returns, visible effects, personal changes and unresolved debts.
Follow the life afterward
Show how family, friends, faith, law and the wider community respond. Carry consequences into relationships, status and future story hooks.
Keep established facts stable
Lock facts that entered play and rebuild selected material. Refine requirements, consent, ritual and aftermath with editing, undo and redo.
Save and share selected material
Save account-library versions, rename or duplicate returns and add tags or notes. Copy the DM guide or player summary, download JSON or print.
Ritual stages and a glimpse beyond
Prepare the moment the soul can choose.
Choose who died, how rare return is, the method and the desired weight of consequences. Prepare the requirements, ritual stages and one meaningful complication.
Add a glimpse beyond the veil and a possible interruption. Describe the choice to return, the visible effects and the immediate aftermath.
Quick setup. Deeper preparation.
Give the return the detail your table needs.
Keep the requirements, choice and consequences clear as you refine the story.
Quick return guide
Set the person, death circumstances, rarity, method and consequence weight. Generate requirements, ritual, glimpse beyond, complication, soul choice and immediate aftermath.
Tune the conditions
Refine body availability, time dead, petitioner, rival claims, substitutes, prohibited methods and repeated resurrection. Check that the price fits the setting.
Develop the personal changes
Choose memories from beyond, return effects, unresolved debts and social or legal status. Consider how family, faith and the person respond.
Keep facts already used
Lock established material and rebuild only what has not entered play. Edit details and use undo or redo while shaping the return.
Relationships, faith and law
The return changes more than one life.
Describe the returned person's memories, visible effects and changed place among family and friends. Choose the strength of the consequences instead of making punishment the default.
Follow unresolved debts, religious responses, social acceptance and legal status. Give the party future story hooks grounded in what the return meant.

Questions and answers
Know what belongs in the return guide.
Consent, consequences, saved material and account access at a glance.
What does the generator prepare?
It prepares the person and death context, return method, requirements, willing soul, ritual, glimpse beyond, complication, return effects and aftermath. The return stays connected to the life that follows.
How does the soul's consent fit into the story?
Record willingness and any competing claim on the soul. Prepare the choice point in the ritual and allow the soul to refuse. Consent is part of the approved return guide.
Does resurrection have to be harsh?
No. Choose the weight of consequences for your setting and table. A return can carry emotional meaning without being impossible or punishing by default.
Can I refine an established return?
Yes. Lock facts already used in play and selectively rebuild the remaining material. Edit requirements, ritual choices, consent, effects and aftermath in the same desktop workspace.
What can I save and export?
Save account-library versions, rename or duplicate a setup, add tags or notes and reopen it. Copy the full DM guide or a player summary, download the result as JSON or print the version you need. Review material before sharing.
