Imbricated Interests of a Ludic Ghoul

What are blogs and itch.io for if not to puke out dubious hobby projects for free?  This is the 20 page Crematory Ash-Can version of the ridiculous ruleset I cobbled together to run an eight player OD&D game with mutated undead in the Necropolis28 world last year . It's a one-shot prep document that got way out of control. Inspirations include early Gamma World , the Arduin Grimoires , and of course the independent undead skirmish miniatures game Necropolis28 . Includes tweaked combat rules and 56 blasted Gifts from the schools of undead magic, Blood/Bone/Plasm. I uploaded this as a way of procrastination while doing my taxes. It can be grabbed here .

His three evil champions and retinue of hobgoblins have also joined the game... The Scorching Gantlet is a punishing old-school dungeon crammed...

  A new horror / weird fiction comic that I helped create is now available to buy from my Bigcartel shop . This 32 page comic is an 'exquisite corpse' style collaboration between myself and the artist and musician DCW Briggs , who also runs the excellent and prolific psych/folk/weirdo/loner CDR label Folk Archive Records. Many years ago (in 2015) I was expressing my frustrations about self-imposed pressure and artists block to Dave after a shared exhibition we'd taken part in in Brixton, organised by Julie of the Indestructible Energy zine. Dave and I had soon become friends, often visiting the pub together and discussing the finer things in life (obscure art, grubby comics, weird music). As a remedy to my state of mind, he suggested we begin a comic that encompassed 'total freedom'. whereby we would take turns drawing a page, with no set script.  7 and a half years later (!) this 32 page comic was the result. It's a creepy, winding narrative with the sort of u...
