The Deathzap Universe – 2100AC

The planets of the Xolar system first found themselves colonised by humanity 2000 years ago when the Jendari pilgrims from Titan, Europa, Io, Callisto and Ganymede escaped through the Martian Portal. Mordrac the planet closest to the star Xol has yet to be terraformed and remains super hot and uninhabitable. Kannis the second planet was […]

Finishing Projects I’ve already started…

I’m sure like me you’ve got a desk where the edges slowly creep in as you push things you’ve already started to the side so you can get going on something new. For me Deathzap has always been like that, a world of infinite possibilities tends to lead to too many ideas, and before I […]

ASHNYR

Ashnyr was colonised at the same time as Jendar.

Army Detective Hook crouched low and took in every detail. Seven exit wounds on the victims back. His boots were mostly clean, […]

Rust, Dirt and Blood

Private Josef Steiner. Legion of Kharthion. No. 332143246. Rust, dirt and blood. The sky above was dark and oppressive. I’d checked and rechecked my Repeater, the mag was full. I knew it was full, but I also knew in a few minutes I’d check it again. I was shaking. It was strange. I was used […]

The Return of Deathzap

After attempting to build up my painted model count I was increasingly finding myself working on older projects. Eventually I knew I had to return to this blog’s namesake game Deathzap! The rules in their original incarnation are on the menu for this site and I am currently also ruminating on Deathzap 2, but before […]

Do You Have a Flag?

In the interest of world building, and also because apparently I’m a bit of a flag nerd, I thought I’d put some flags together after I watched a TedTalk on Vexillology. Here’s the specific video, although I’ll be listing the main points below if you haven’t got twenty minutes. The main points of flag design […]
