For anyone that doesn’t know about Death Note it’s a fictional notebook from a death god. If you write someone’s name in it while picturing thier face they die. You can also manipulate thier actions and method of death to some extent.

Death note rules.

    That’s pretty fucked up considering you’d probably write about someone you know but wouldn’t wish harm on.

    The rules are on the inside cover so I’d assume most people would check there for ownership and see its a death thing.

      Tbh if i came across a notebook with a bunch of ominous bullshit on the inside cover, I’d assume it was a prop for V:TM or some other goth-ish ttrpg. And then promptly ignore the instructions until I notice people dying.

      And that’s assuming I don’t just rip out the instructions or glue a picture over it

      • That’s exactly what Light did in the anime. But anyone who touches the Death Note gains the ability to see the gods of death that normally hold the book. So Light believed it was a joke or a prop until the god of death introduced himself.
