In MOONCROFT MANOR, the Necromancy Thesis interrogates life and death itself. You refuse to accept that death is the end—that what is lost can't be ripped back precisely as it was.

But your own life is a fragile thing. Thinning it to find the gates of death puts you at grave risk of dying yourself.

"Players seeking to have fun is bad for many games" is the opening statement of my latest post, where I argue that players should stop playing games trying to have fun, and instead let the game systems take them where they will, and trust that the fun will come.

We got there! 🎉 (Thank you kindly to the person who tipped $3 so they wouldn't leave me 3 bucks short of the goal.)

Physical versions will be better, I'll be able to justify ordering more, and one of the pamphlet adventures is getting an upgrade!

In MOONCROFT MANOR, the Diabolism Thesis is about control. What if you could use an evil power for a good purpose? You ensnare demons in binding contracts to serve your goals—all in preparation for seizing the hellish kingdom of an archdemon.

But can you resist the corrupting influence of power?
