Lamentations Of The Flame Princess RPG The Music Of Ericha Zann

“It would be useless to describe the playing of Erich Zann on that dreadful night. It was more horrible than anything I had ever overheard, because I could now see the expression of his face, and could realise that this time the motive was stark fear. He was trying to make a noise; to ward something off or drown something out—what, I could not imagine, awesome though I felt it must be. The playing grew fantastic, delirious, and hysterical, yet kept to the last the qualities of supreme genius which I knew this strange old man possessed.”

— H.P. Lovecraft

The Music of Ericha Zann presents an alternate version of the Bard class for traditional tabletop role-playing games, including Lamentations of the Flame Princess. It presents the Bard as a figure of chaos in the vein of “The Music of Erich Zann” and rejects the concept of the Bard as a charismatic minstrel.
