Happy Birthday! And, Dwarves of Death!
Well, today is my blog’s first birthday. Just a couple posts short of 300 over the last year, with a wide variety of content. To celebrate, I’ve compiled the Dwarves of Death stuff into a single tidy .pdf for use … Continue reading
Maptacular Monday: Necrodwarf Oracle
I drew this in my wallet moleskine while waiting somewhere for something. (It’s been a while.) I stocked this originally as a shrine under a temple. I was aiming for basic functionality. Entryway to receive guests and visitors and impress … Continue reading
The Legacy of the Golden Rune
Morniarak retreated from the mountains, to an outpost that was once used to trade with the Sea People. He was numb and weary beyond all feeling, his grief too profound within him for his life force to shift it aside. … Continue reading
The Tragic Tale of Tcholiark
Now for some context–how did the necrodwarves come to be? It is a sad tale. Tragic, even. Presented here for your enjoyment. The Tcholiark could build runes in anything. Their city was a mountain peak warmed by the depths of … Continue reading
Campaign and Seeds: Dwarves of Death 1
The “Dwarves of Death” systems are pretty gruesome. Why go into detailing the horrific obscenities of the necrodwarves? If players are not encouraged to play these monsters, and if player characters cannot use their magic gear or pets, why outline … Continue reading

Better Gear Makes it Worse
Warning: There is some nasty stuff in this post. Necromancers are scary, their stuff is scary, they are horrible people/monsters, and… okay, if you get in here and find that it’s a bit much… well, they are the bad guys. … Continue reading
Fund of Secrets
Legend speaks of large ravens that hate all life. They disdain the world, and their nests are between the stars—they never sleep when they are in this dimension. They look like regular large ravens, with an 18 inch body and … Continue reading
Vengeance Gusters
Vengeance gusters are an unholy combination of technology and necromancy. Dwarves who worship the God of Death jealously guard the secret of their construction. The gusters are hefty backpacks with a tank and some mechanical equipment, connected to a tube … Continue reading
Design Notes on Runic Necromancy
Quoted from the context post:My goal is to have evocative, cinematic, awesome possibilities unlocked by relatively simple rule sets that repurpose existing mechanics rather than creating new layers of system.I intend the necrodwarves to be monsters for the intrepid characters … Continue reading
