Description[]

Mummy: The Curse is a tabletop role-playing game using the Storytelling System. Players take the roles of mummies, the ancient servants of sorcerers who were the rulers of the mythical empire of Irem. The mummies have magically been given eternal life, and alternate between awake periods and long periods of hibernation throughout the millennia, gradually forgetting who they are; the gamemaster, who leads the game, determines significant events that have shaped the player characters' pasts, which is kept secret from the players.

When creating a character, players determine what guild they will belong to, along with other attributes, which influence the characters' worldviews and abilities. To use characters' powers, they need occult energy, which can be found in relics from the Irem Empire, which have been scattered around the world since Irem's fall.
