An Intro to the World of MAGNAGOTHICA: MALEGHAST

Hi hello, welcome to Magnagothica: Maleghast! Heavy metal necromancy! Pick your great house, equip your necromancer, and delve into the depths of Anzenmezzeron to find the End of Death.... or you know just fight in the back alleys of the billion dead. Also, wow, when talking of the setting in summary (you'll know the part) alot of things clicked while editing. When Blades in the Dark comes up (makes sense in the video) Anzenmezzeron could totally be a city out in the Deadlands, can't believe I didn't think of that one before recording. Outro was fun to make.

Good news! Tom is (purportedly) working on a ttrpg version of Maleghast

[KOkami]

A little added information: The person who did the art for this is Tom Bloom aka Abbadon, the creator of the webcomic "Kill Six Billion Demons", and also the artist for LANCER.

[SaintNamedSlickback]

Nagash, the great necromancer, the great betrayer, the usurper, the undying king, the supreme lord of undeath, he who should not be named and most recently: Nagash the *JANITOR*

[mindwormjim]

I love the cover art. She just looks so happy.

[dathore]

This setting would rock as an RPG world, and having a house of opera metal singers that use music to summon ghosts and control them would be so fucking metal, and fill that playlist with all the black and symphonic metal you can get your hands on.

[marlutteyestrelt]

The best way to expand narratively on this game, I've discovered, is to combine it with the ICON playtest as an improvised expansion. Considering its anachronistic style, ICON is already a post apocalyptic world, the Ones Before could easily be the Arken Empire, and you can easily place Necromancy as part of the Black Sun Cult that the Relicts worship in the flavor text of ICON. The ICON classes and jobs battling the necromancers and Hunting Demons, the search for the Core of Death itself, possibly an amalgamation of Titan flesh? Which goes beyond death! I'm already working on writing a campaign about it.

[master-of-frogs]

I pray this game gets more updates, but if it doesn't; it is prime homebrew material for mechanics/lore/units/etc

[TheBlackBrickStudios]

Sometimes I feel like Tom Bloom makes things for me personally. I'm a metalhead that knew every band listed on those playlists save for one that I now love, cyberpunk is one of my favorite visual aesthetics, and I love basically everything this is drawing inspiration from. The influences are obvious and thick. Dorohedoro, Bloodborne, Hellsing, Berserk, Cyberpunk 2020, 40k, and so on are some of my favorite books and games. There is no universe in which I don't obsess over this setting, add my own content to it, and annoy my friends until they play this with me.

[bonefetcherbrimley]

So basically the Black city is like a 40k Hive city, but full of necromancers! That's actually pretty neat. I have no idea why this was in my recommended, but I'm glad it was. The image of a cheery lady standing next to rotting corpses is metal as hell.

[jane_gorelove]

the fact GOREGRINDERS don't have any actual GOREGRIND in the playlist is surely a choice ahaha

[chowrites]

I'd buy this if it were just a comic book, or even an art book. The art direction is just so unique, I want to see more!

[AlliePaints]

I feel like the entire point is that you can make your own lore to fill stuff in. it's just a vibe made into a game

[viorp]

reminds me of Dorohedoro in the vibe it gives off.

14:30 okay by the end of this I am 100% certain it has some inspiration from Dorohedoro. Especially the anatomical drawing having that mask. And that damn hotdog stand.

So Dorohedoro and Dai Dark stuff might be an easy source to add stuff to the setting that fits already.

[spacejunky]

I swear anything that Tom Bloom makes looks metal as hell! Thanks for showing off another of his projects!

[kacperdrabikowski]

And from what I heard, the game supports making your own Great House. I heard someone made one with theme of digital necromancy - think less cyber-zombies and more reanimating programming and literal Blue Screen of Death.

[ThatOneIrishFurry]

This setting is the biggest punch in the face which makes it so entertaining

Welcome to the world where everyones a necromancer
The major players are
weeb nuns
Mad max
Poison punks
Exorcism gone wrong
Frankenstein's science guild
And military industrial complex
HERE ARE THEIR CANONICAL MUSIC PLAYLISTS

[disturbedpictures]

I’m so happy someone else mentioned the absolute seething lore and story potential just BEGGING to be released.

[Finding_Arcadia]

Realy loving the idea that this channel slowly becomes an Abaddon fan channel, then we might get some quality content of K6BD

[bobhill-olwp]

That necromancer gal is so unbelievably cute, could build an entire franchise off of her.

[TheRauzKindred]

screaming and itching to want more from a setting is a good sign, will have to check this out!
