“The Student Body” is an eight-part campaign. Four teenage students at a magical academy in a fantasy empire deal with their untimely deaths through politicking, and their resurrection through having their bodies stolen by monsters in the school’s dungeon. It’s played in a modified version of “Monsters and Other Childish Things” by Arc Dream Publishing.
