Charnel Gods is indeed coming. Here's some (meager) proof.

Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!

More to come ... soon.

urbwar (and everyone),

QuoteWith the reasonable pricing for the mini-supplements, how do you afford such kick ass art work? I mean the two sample pieces are great, and some of the stuff on these pages are top notch!

Heh.  Well, that's the question, isn't it?  

One thing I learned was that artwork can be gotten at reasonable rates.  I won't discuss specific financial arrangements, but suffice to say I'm not a rich man, nor did I spend a mint to produce this game.  I may have spent more than was reasonable for this kind of product - it will take Charnel Gods quite some time to recoup its investment - but I had decided early on that a profit margin was far less important to me than having a killer product out there for people to see and play.  

And I'm a sucker for good artwork.  Originally it was just Jeremy, but then Jeremy brought D. Penney to my attention, and I couldn't not have him working on the game.  Much later, after the other artists had finished their work, Jared Sorensen showed me http://www.davidhendee.com/display.html?9">this pic, and I just had to have it.  So I got in touch with Dave Hendee, and he really wanted to do some original stuff for it; he ended up doing a couple original pieces and leasing me a couple existing pics.

But that aint the half of it.  I just got a look at some sample pages for the game, and they look awesome.

Soon...

Well, from the teasers you've posted, it sure looks like it will be a primo package. The setting sounds interesting, so I hope there will be good sales. Having just bought Sorcerer and Sorcerer & Sword, I will probably pick this up as well.

That is an awesome picture! Reminds me of that Robert E Howard story of Niall (think that was his name) and the Worm...
