Big news! Nevermet Press has released its (our?) 2nd big adventure setting! This one is called Brother Ptolemy and the Hidden Kingdom, and it features a town overrun by an undead cult. Very cool!

This book has been in-the-making for about a year, and it was put together entirely by freelance writers and artists, originally publish online at Nevermet Press and then expanded over the past year with additional art and content.

I have a few pieces of art in there (four total), some of which you’ve seen on this blog, and some which you haven’t (see the update at the bottom). There are a number of other talented artists in there who you should definitely see, too. The writing is top notch too, and not to toot our own whistle, but for a bunch of folks collaborating entirely on the internet (thus the “never met” part) I think we did a great job on this piece.

The basic story revolves around a cult that has infested a number of towns by replacing the bigwigs with undead — sort of a necrocracy. The players find themselves in such a town and have to decide what to do. The book contains NPC’s, hooks, adventures, heroes and villains, side quests, locations — basically everything you would want to run a kickass game, but not so much information that you feel railroaded into one particular style of play. The stats are all for 4th edition D&D, but the story is easily adaptable to any setting.

If you’re not into roleplaying games, then you probably have no idea what I’m talking about by now. But anyway, check out the Nevermet Press site (link below) and if you’re a gamer you owe it to yourself to get this setting!

Update:

I realized it was kind of lame to mention the art without linking to it, so here are the links to my previous posts with artwork from The Hidden Kingdom:

And then the one that you haven’t seen: Zombie Attack!
