The books I ordered arrived yesterday, the entire Vermis series. The first two books were out of print so I had to wait until a new printing (eleventh printing!) was available a couple weeks ago.

The first book is basically a strategy guide to a dark fantasy game that doesn't exist. Think like Dark Souls but without the gameplay, it's just lore, pure worldbuilding, and some delightfully *grimy* pixel art.

Books 2 and 3 expand on that.

That's distressing. I was hoping to buy the Vermis books for my birthday next month, but when I looked at the publisher's website only I and III were available. II was out of stock, and it seems to be out at every retailer I can find. Even used bookstores are out.

The only thing I've found is a listing on eBay for hardcover editions of the first two books, but it's US $850, which as you can imagine is a tidge out of my price range.

""Sounds of the World Vermis - Melodies of the Unknown" is a collaboration between Radagast(Josua Karlson) and Plastiboo. It's the soundtrack to the dark and mysterious world Vermis"

""Vermis I" is the first of an artbook series by the artist Plastiboo. A pure act of world-building inspired by old dungeon crawler games. It could be considered an official guide of a game that doesn't exist, since it's not a game at all!"

this is a cover for a expanded version of Esper troopers.I am working meant to be more like #vermis than a traditional game ... I will include the rules but it a narative combat game with rpg elements more than competitive play.

if it's not annoying or if there is interest will share updates as I work on it.
