The first novel from Caustic Critic Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, famous for his online Video Game critque series Zero Punctuation, introduces us to the world within a popular Fantasy-themed online MMORPG (basically World of Warcraft in all but name). There, the NPCs go about their daily lives, unaware that some of the people among them - thought to suffer from a strange syndrome - are player characters controlled by beings from another universe: us.

  • The first novel from Caustic Critic Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, famous for his online Video Game critque series Zero Punctuation, introduces us to the world within a popular Fantasy-themed online MMORPG (basically World of Warcraft in all but name). There, the NPCs go about their daily lives, unaware that some of the people among them - thought to suffer from a strange syndrome - are player characters controlled by beings from another universe: us. It's the story of Jim, a minor character in the game, who dies when an army attacks his magic school only to be resurrected sixty years later by a "rogue necromancer" named Lord Dreadgrave, and now, all he wants is to find a way to die again, preferably for good this time, which is not an easy thing to do, since death seems only seems to be a temporary state in Mogworld. In his quest, he's accompanied by a pair of other undead (an airheaded girl named Meryl and a self-righteous priest named Thaddeus) and the inept thief Slippery John - whether he likes it or not. Not only has the flood of preorders meant that the success of the book is even more inevitable than it already has been, but it also kicked off the branch of Dark Horse Comics known as Dark Horse books, who are also publishing books based off Penny Arcade, Mass Effect, and The Guild. As Yahtzee has said in response to a question on Twitter, Mogworld is the first book published by Dark Horse Books.
