The image to the left is a wizard either creating an illusion that they’re a Wizard, or removing the illusion. Perfect for any high-magic fantasy game, it is the latest Clipart Critter stock art from Brad McDevitt, which you can buy HERE.
We’ve got hundreds of pieces by him at affordable prices for your handouts or your own gaming projects.
If you are an artist who wants to sell your work via an established storefront, we can also help you out. Contact me privately if you’re interested.
I am currently seeking an artist to do a cover for my non-fiction book project ‘Inside Gamergate‘. If you’re interested and think you can do a good cover, depicting the Gamergate icon Vivian James, let me know. My email is grim@postmort.demon.co.uk.
Please support me via my PATREON – you get discounts for as little as $1 a month, as well as access to me for advice, suggestions and more.
This month’s discount is on Wizkid: The Cheapening, a ‘Potteresque’ satire on Mage: The Ascension, terrible fan fiction and wizarding schools.
As a loyal follower of this blog, you can also get a discount on Pulp Nova this month. A collection of Neo-Pulp stories I wrote, which may be good inspiration for some Pulp RPGs.

June in Review
June’s been an odd month. The Indiegogo for the Inside Gamergate book has – basically – paid me to work on it for two months – of which July is the second month. The writing itself was easy, events kind of created the book itself. It has been harder, now, because various Gamergate related events have blown up again, requiring a sudden flurry of edits and additions. I had considered the matter – largely – done with, but it seems I was wrong!
It has delayed, somewhat, the release of the Gor art book and the next couple of adventure supplements. When I hand the book over to the editor and wrangle the cover artist I should have the time and space to go back to that so you can anticipate those books coming out in July (one is virtually done already).
The Summer is NOT a good time for me. I hate the heat with a passion. Autumn is the best month for me – by far. I’ve even had to resort to wearing the kilt, just to keep cool. That has also had an effect on workflow (most especially by wrecking my sleep), but we’re getting by.
My Youtube channel also, finally, passed 1,000 subscribers, and it’s supposed to get easier from there. So if you like a weird mix of games talk, design talk, political commentary, reviews and other strangeness. Please feel free to subscribe.
I AM AVAILABLE FOR FREELANCE WORK:
Links to my profiles on Fiverr & People Per Hour (these will be expanded as I add services):
DIRECT SERVICES:
Currently, my 2017 plate is clear and free for freelancing and consultancy from the end of July – though space can be made. I’m pretty reliable and can offer reasonably fast turnaround. I can, perhaps uniquely, provide detail and grounding to scenarios – even dungeons – to humanise them and give them a bit of depth. Give me a try, see what I can do for your games.
I am a 17+ year veteran of the tabletop game publishing world with lots of experience in freelancing and self-publishing.
I’ve worked for Wizards of the Coast, Steve Jackson Games, Nightfall, Cubicle Seven Entertainment and more. I have also written fiction and worked on social media computer games, packing a lot of meaning into short pieces of text.
As a self-publisher, I have overseen every step of the publication process from concept through to publication including writing, editing, layout and modification. I also produce Youtube material and have begun producing audiobooks. If you need some narration for a video project or an audiobook reading, I can help.
Here are some of the services I can offer, and the minimum prices offered – though anything is negotiable up or down depending on the client. I will work pseudonymously if that is a concern for you.
- New writing (raw text): $0.03c/word (minimum)
- Proofreading/Light Editing/Commentary: $0.01c/word (second and third deeper passes are possible).
- ePublishing/RPG Publishing consultation. Skype/Hangout/Call: $20/hour.
- Consultation on your game project: $20/hour.
- Layout (InDesign): $11 an hour.
- Stock Art Shopfront: Postmortem Studios have a huge stock art catalogue from multiple artists and we’d love to add you to that storefront. If you’re an artist who wants to sell your stock art but doesn’t want to deal with the accounts and uploads etc with your own storefront (which would be my first recommendation), then I can do that for you for 50% (I round up your payouts). Even if you don’t want to do this through me I recommend doing it anyway for all artists and can consult on best practice if you need advice.
- Voice Work: If you find my dulcet tones to your liking, I’m available for voice over work and narration, recording audiobooks and more. Rates negotiable, starting at $11 per hour.
- Promotion/Interview: Free. If you have a product you want to pimp out or would like to just talk game design and culture, you’re welcome to talk to me and appear on my Youtube channel.
- Book Trailers/Videos/Adverts.
- Paid Gamesmastering over streams/skype.
RECENT PRODUCTS
The Silver Cult (Gor): The Silver Cult thrusts the characters into a conspiracy that threatens to overturn the natural order of Gor and the city of Tharna. Will they side with the revolutionaries who seek to usurp the power of that city, or help crush the rebellion? This supplement also contains rules for slave-breaking and torture, and for encouraging better roleplay through mechanics.
Map of Gor: A map of Gor to accompany Tales of Gor and World of Gor. Also available as a poster print.
Tales of Gor: Tales of Gor brings you into a striking world of science-fantasy role-playing. Born from the Gorean Cycle (34 books) by John Norman, Tales of Gor brings you to The Counter-Earth. A world of contradictions, freedom and slavery, science and fantasy, primitive violence and high technology ripe for adventure.
World of Gor: World of Gor collects the lore of the Gorean cycle of novels by John Norman into one reference volume, intended for use alongside the Tales of Gor roleplaying game. This reference work will also be useful to Gorean roleplayers and fans of all kinds, roleplayers or not as a resource for fanfiction, roleplaying and Gorean activities of all kinds.
The Tower of Art (Gor): The Tower of Art is the first adventure/supplement for Tales of Gor, the Gorean Roleplaying Game. As an introductory scenario, this supplement presents a relatively simple and easy example of such an adventure, as well as resources and additional material to improve your games (and the value of this supplement).
Print products are available at Lulu.com and The Game Crafter.
