LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH!

The updated New Flesh is now available in print from Lulu (no Amazon option this time). It’s softcover only – at least for for now -, as the book is huge, and the price for the hardback would be considerably higher. Now, if you want a hardback option, let me know, and I’ll take care of that. And if you don’t know what New Flesh is… well, it’s the weirdest game you’ve never heard about: a future-noir roleplaying game where cyberpunk meets biological horror in the neon-drenched streets of Interzone, a dystopic corporate city located in northern Morocco. Set in then near future, this game draws inspiration from the works of William S. Burroughs, William Gibson, David Cronenberg, and other masters of transgressive fiction. You can find the links for digital and print on our website:
