Psi Wars: Environments of Broken Communion: Sensations of Death

Following up on my last post, I have suggestions for imagery, sounds, and other sensations that you can use to describe an environment of Deathly Broken Communion. Enjoy!

Vision

• Ruins, wrecked starships, other human constructions in a state of disrepair
• Iconography of death (skulls, bones, decaying flesh)
• Lack of color, stark whites and stark blacks
• Broken down machinery (vehicles, computers)
• Dust, mold, and rot, especially covering artifacts of civilization

Sounds

• Silence (including natural sounds, like animals and the wind)
• Howling or moaning winds
• Calls of carrion beasts, like jackals and vultures
• Phantom battle sounds, screaming, and other sounds without obvious source
• Crunching and snapping sounds, like breaking bones

Smells

• Rot and decaying flesh
• Formaldehyde and other embalming agents
• Sulfur, rotting eggs

Touch

• Dry, crumbling textures, like dust
• Soft, easily torn textiles
• Hard, brittle bones
• Soft and wet slimes, rotted wood
• Icy chills
