Nine books · Two worlds · Now a tabletop game

The Mist has fallen.
Something is using it.

Dark urban fantasy out of Portland, Maine. Necromancers, arch demons, and the people stupid enough to stand between them.

Where to start

Two doors in

I

The front door

  2. Dirge of the Dead
  3. Beyond the Mist: Dark Messiah

II

The back door

The long answer →

Mistfall: Armageddon core rulebook cover

Mistfall: Armageddon

Most campaigns sell a promise.
This one sells a print run.

A tabletop roleplaying game set in the Baku-verse. The core rulebook is finished, not outlined.

  • 4 years of playtesting
  • 432 pages, laid out and proofed
  • 20,000 simulated encounters behind the maths

A second world

Bloodlust

To save her tribe, Malin of the Bear used forbidden magic. For her crime, she was cast out.

Heroic fantasy, and a deliberate move away from the Baku-verse. No Portland. No Mist. No Oxivius. A mountain summit, a betrayal, and the last warrior of a people who no longer exist.

In progress. No cover and no date until both are real.

Elsewhere

Follow along

Cover reveals, work in progress, and whatever the Mist drags in.
