I’m looking for someone who would be interested in writing updates for the blog here, if you’re interested let me know at morbidgames at gmail dot com.

The world of Ave Molech is a lore heavy world setting with goblin technicians, magic wielding tiefling, airships, dead gods and people with a metal look. While the setting was created with d20 modern stats and classes, you’ll see many races from 3.5 that have been modified (ps: tiefling were charismatic here years before 4th edition). However, with any lore heavy game, there is enough content that you could plug any town, idea or theme into your own current setting.
Perhaps you’re not ready to sink into an entire new setting, Journals provide short, flash-fiction, stories that take place within the world of Ave Molech, but are created for GMs with the intension of incorporating them into your current game.
Don’t have a game going on, or looking for some new inspiration for your adventures, Lore may be just the thing for you. Lore are books designed to expand on the stories and people within the world of Ave Molech. While they do not add any additional mechanics to the game, they provide a lot of useful information for those looking to create settings of their own.
Not yet sold on the world of Ave Molech? Then curl up with a good book by the fire and read of a mystery involving magic wielding officers, half-demons and betrayal in Gloria Weber’s Gaslight Demons.

Since October 2006 I’ve put a lot of time and energy into creating this site, a store front of our own, an unused forum, a blog, many social sites and a lot of automation. As the main writer, the only designer (print and web), an artist, the owner, accountant and facilitator of all things Morbidgames I’ve finally reached the place where I find I’ve hit a wall. While I need to take a back seat to things related to Ave Molech and my silly little stories, don’t fret too much, as the site(s) have been mostly running themselves lately and I’ll be around to facilitate things as needed if something breaks. However, I will not be spending the same amount of time or energy on this project as I have in the past, nor will I be consistently active within the game communities.
That said, here are some things to expect for 2010 from Morbidgames:
- I’m probably not going to get a chance to write/produce any new content
- Current items will continue to remain available and promoted via the usual outlets, though I have no plans to run any holiday/special events, except for maybe at OBS as their staff handles that work
- I’ll be reading submissions still, though there is a good chance it will take me longer than 30 days to get back to you and if I am not interested in it, then we’ll just be silent
- Site updates probably won’t be happening unless something big happens, if you want to cyber-stalk me I suggest reading my personal blog/site
- Yes, Alice is pretty much indefinitely on hold as too many other and better companies are doing Alice movies, shows and games currently and I don’t want to do something thats so popular right now
Had my nose to the grind the last few days on a new book coming out as well as it will be my last week in Vegas as of the 2nd of October, but I wanted to mention that within the last three weeks our friends on Facebook have grown tremendously from 180+ to 530+ as of today. We appreciate the love and hope you continue to like our stories! 
So according to Google Analytics and my Blog stats, I had around 1,400 visits to this site between Thursday and Saturday. That’s really awesome. I don’t know what prompted this, other than the blog link that was posted to Stumbleupon that apparently 90% of these visits came from, but it’s great exposure for the game.
On the other hand I noticed that even with a bounce rate of 40% and a visit time of 2+ minutes here, there aren’t any new comments, emails to me or downloads. Which causes me a bit of concern as to the validity of these visitors. Perhaps I’m reading too much into it for now and I should probably wait a few more days to see how things pan out. Though after reading articles like this and that I can’t help but wonder…
It’s been a while, but I finally just printed out the first initial draft for the book. It’s 60 pages after my initial chopping with no artwork so far. I may only add artwork to the section covers, or I may end up splitting the book into two parts and just do one inside title cover page for both. I’m not sure yet. I also haven’t include any of the stuff I had been working on, primarily because I don’t want this book to be too long, but at the same time I may end up including at least a couple items. All in all I’m really happy with what has come in and I’m excited for the book. To give you a taste of what is in the book I feel I can go ahead and list the table of contents so far which may change before the actual release as I include or exclude content for later.

Much like before, this is unedited first draft material I wrote while at the bar on my blackberry and haven’t had a chance to expand on yet.
Alice woke up to a ray of light hitting her face. The dark cover over the small window in the corner of the room had torn. She was alone, the ladies from the night before were gone and a pillow and blanket had been given to her. She sat up slowly, a little dizzy from the night before.
The door opened and in walked a lanky man in tight jeans holding a tray with a toast and coffee.
“Here you go Alice,” the man said placing the tray on the desk, “Jason asked me to check up on you. We don’t have much here, but the girls and I managed to get some coffee for you.”
“Thanks,” Alice said, slowly standing, the man stared at her with a concerned look on his face. His face, thought Alice, with his porn-style moustache, four days of facial growth and long nose made him appears almost rat like.
“Would you like anything else? Jason should be in shortly.”
“No thank you. I…I should be going. Tell Jason I said thanks and that I’ll stop by later.”
The man nodded and walked out, shutting the door behind him.
Alice moved to Jason’s desk and sat down on the large leather chair, her head was beginning to hurt and she reached for the coffee in front of her. It was warm and soothing at first, but too dark for her liking and her stomach slowly began to turn and she clenched at her waste, shrinking over. She grabbed at the toast and ate it down quickly; she hadn’t realized how hungry she had been. Leaning back in the chair her headache began to subside. Her hands fumbled around her neck and grabbed one of the chains that produced an intricately designed heart casing. She opened the heart shaped compartment and poured the contents on the desk. A modicum of snuff twice and she was up and moving towards the back door.
The light from outside was blinding as Alice opened the door, it closed with a thud behind her, locking. People were rushing past her; too many people and she began to wish she had gone out the front door. So many people she though, all rushing in the street, “Bitch!” a woman brushed against her turning back to give her the finger.
Alice stepped back against the wall, a giant peacock shaped float was coming down the adjacent street, followed by what looked like more animal shapes heading her way – the cities carnival parade.
A brief note, that the MORBIDGAMES Emporium is now on the Zen Cart Live Shops listings
In Alice news, the post I wanted to get to today isn’t going to happen, it should happen tomorrow or at least within the next couple days.
I finally spent a bit of time this morning and included a link to our Amazon affiliate store on our main page as well as the places to buy page, this store automagically suggests many RPG Titles and fiction books as well as SciFi Movies. I’ll fill it out a bit more as I get around to it in the next few days, but for now you can check it out here http://morbidgames.com/amazonaffiliate.html
