One of Us Will Die Devlog - All The Existing Scenarios
Since it's conception, One of Us Will Die has had a good number of one-shot scenarios written for it. Here's a list of every scenario that's ever existed. There's a good chance that about ten of these will be included in the full book. Each scenario tackles the themes of death, hope, and resistance in their own unique ways.
Most of the scenarios have world-building questions where players decide the setting and circumstances of their story.
