It's been a long, grueling struggle to promote this project, but I've stuck with it, because I believe . . . in EVIL. And we'll give you the sick, sexy evil you want in your game, even if you're afraid to admit it. Don't be scared; close your eyes, push the button, and back Vault of Villainy.

Once a high-ranking druidess of the Alabaster Circle, MOURTIKA THE SKULL WITCH was cast out of that conclave after she willfully breached the Seventh Gate in the House With No Doors to spend thirteen months beneath the underworld learning the forbidden secrets of necromancy.

HORTIKRUSS THE VAMPIRE WARLORD was once a young noble from a long-forgotten empire, until the Grand Lamia herself transformed him into a scourge upon the living. His bleak legions have conquered a hundred kingdoms, leaving nothing in their wake but ruinous ash-lands haunted by ghouls and shades.

For countless millennia, before the ascendance of humanity, THE GREAT BEAST SHOGGULA was worshipped by primordial empires such as Eskragor and the Serpent Hegemony. Massive bleak temples were built in Shoggula’s honor and the frog-like god grew fat on sacrifices and faith.

No deity is more feared than ARARARARAR, God of FIRE and EVIL, yet even the most loathsome gods have followers. These followers conducted a ritual that summoned a spark of their dread god's endlessly burning essence into the mortal plane, allowing him to sire a child--ARESTE, DAUGHTER OF FLAME.

THE FACE TAKER gained his title from the leathery cloak of moaning human faces draped across his shoulders. His flesh-melting touch allows him to rip the faces from his victims’ skulls and add them to his grisly cloak. The Face Taker’s origins are uncertain;

In the murky mists of prehistory there was an age of demi-gods, the spawn of incomprehensible elder beings birthed from the loins of the earliest humans. These demigods rampaged across the world as though it were their playground, none moreso than MANDAGOR THE MIGHTY.

I did the cover for Million-Colored Sun in 2024. The art was originally meant to be the city Kanebok from my Black Pudding setting of Yria. But that's just my own lore. In the end the unfinished piece was finished up for this cool sword & sorcery game. It's a rules lite #TTRPG, a tool kit for gaming
Pic of a little black book called Million Colored Sun: A Pulp Sword & Sorcery RPG. Cover by me. Two figures stand on a cliff overlooking a weird city in the sand. They have a red lizard on a leash. The city is a lot of rounded towers with many open windows.

hi this is my favorite writing advice, it's from former simpsons writer john swartzwelder (i think about the crappy little elf all the time) www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
screengrab of a portion of new yorker interview with former simpson's writer john swartzwelder: 
Mike Sacks: How much time and attention did you spend on these scripts? Another “Simpsons” writer once compared your scripts to finely tuned machines—if the wrong person mucked with them, the whole thing could blow up.
Swartzwelder: All of my time and all of my attention. It’s the only way I know how to write, darn it. But I do have a trick that makes things easier for me. Since writing is very hard and rewriting is comparatively easy and rather fun, I always write my scripts all the way through as fast as I can, the first day, if possible, putting in crap jokes and pattern dialogue—“Homer, I don’t want you to do that.” “Then I won’t do it.” Then the next day, when I get up, the script’s been written. It’s lousy, but it’s a script. The hard part is done. It’s like a crappy little elf has snuck into my office and badly done all my work for me, and then left with a tip of his crappy hat. All I have to do from that point on is fix it. So I’ve taken a very hard job, writing, and turned it into an easy one, rewriting, overnight. I advise all writers to do their scripts and other writing this way. And be sure to send me a small royalty every time you do it.
