We live on a dead God that is slowly decomposing...
We do not know what was before the Dead God, but one thing is certain: we were born on a sacred corpse floating in the universal ether and slowly decomposing. Everything that lived before the great God was forgotten with its death.
From the decomposing body of this immense being brought life; its blood formed the seas that bathe the coasts, its skin became the land, deserts, and mountains. And from its tears, rivers and lakes were born. The insects were the first inhabitants who walked this putrid land and through the infinite power emanating from within they evolved into insectoids; new beings with powers far superior to those of their ancestors.
The different species of insectoids organized themselves into tribes, cities, and kingdoms during a period of peace, leading to an age of discovery. The explorers gradually created a map of the lands they inhabited, discovering they lived upon a divine corpse.
Settlers of a Dead God is a forthcoming setting for the Old School Essentials roleplaying game that can be easily adapted to a multitude of systems.
This new book is a comprehensive guide for embarking on adventures in the land of the Dead God, encompassing 96 pages with artwork, detailed descriptions, and new rules tailored for exploring this mysterious setting.

Really great product delivered quickly and in good condition.
Settlers of a dead god is a fantastic little read. At only about 90 pages, for a full setting, it feels a touch slim in places, but the wild imagination and evocative imagery make for a setting that's worth filling in the gaps of. The only truly negative note I have is that there does seem to be a relatively high number of typos. It far from ruins the experience, but I would have liked to see a little more polish in this regard, as the material is without a doubt, worth a better translation.
Just finished playing the included dungeon adventure my players loved it! Fun and creative setting, beautiful art, easy to customize. I was waiting for this for a long time and was not disappointed.
I’d been playing with the idea of having a God corpse in my world and then I found this book.
Super cool with lots of original ideas!
The art style is surprisingly whimsical and well done.
I've always wanted a game that played something like Osmosis Jones but was never quite sure how I would really approach such a thing. This is exactly what I was looking for. It perfectly puts this want of mine into a fantasy world bustling with life and problems. If you love the idea of little guys in a big creepy world, this is it. This is the one.
