‘Memento Mori’ – An RPG of Dreams & Corruption – in Last Days of Crowdfunding
Fight for hope in darkness during the time of the Black Death in Memento Mori – a new, dark RPG from Two Little Mice.
Two Little Mice, creators of Outgunned and Household, have a new RPG available on Backerkit. It’s based on an original system designed by Andrea Felicioni and Marco B. Bucci. Players will navigate a plague-ridden Medieval Europe and contend with supernatural forces to realize their dreams before they perish.
This RPG is not for the faint of heart.

Europe in 1347. The Black Death is exacting its toll on Europe; people are dying in the millions. Players take the role of a group of Drifters, infected who come in contact with dark creatures from folklore due to their condition and closeness to death. With every new horror they experience, the characters will become ever less human and increasingly similar to the creatures they are fighting.
Only the Dream burning within them can keep them alive. What will they sacrifice for it?
Unique Game System
Memento Mori is an original game system created to highlight the process of corruption and transformation undergone by the characters.
The system uses two pools of six-sided dice distinguished by color. White dice represent the human skills of Drifters, while black dice represent the supernatural powers and monstrous features that they develop.
When rolling dice, the Players’ objective is to roll as many 5s and 6s as possible in order to overcome the difficulty set by the Narrator. The powers developed during the Drifters’ adventure come at a steep price because the Players are forced to choose a part of their character to sacrifice whenever the corruption grants them a new ability.
Every element on the character sheet is subject to change in order to achieve their Dream and unlock new powers.
The Books
Memento Mori includes three books – corebook, bestiary/flora, and esoteric knowledge – and a book box containing official dice and tarot to enhance your games. All feature fantastic art from Francesco Biagini.
- MEMENTO MORI: [Corebook] 200+ pages in black and white, hardcover, A5 format. The corebook contains everything you need to play, the setting, and a short introductory adventure complete with four Drifters ready to play.
