The Magnum Opus is Complete
Some books are a struggle to write. This was not one of them.
Unlike its contents, Magnum Opus came together surprisingly smoothly—no flesh to flay, no limbs to graft, no soul-crushing years spent whispering unspeakable rites to myself at 3 AM. But the content? That’s another story. This book is grueling in all the best ways. It’s about obsession, transformation, and the slow, terrible realization that no amount of power comes without cost.
If you’ve ever wanted to push your character beyond the limits of flesh, sanity, and good taste—this is your book.
What’s Inside?
- The Chimera – Graft extra monstrous heads onto your body. Because one is never enough.
- The Demilich – Flesh? You never needed it. Rise as an undead horror.
- The Construct – Flesh is failure. Steel endures. Replace yourself piece by piece.
- The Corpus – Your blood is alchemy itself. Achieve immortality at the cost of, well, everything.
- The Hekatoncheir – More arms. More attacks. More absolute devastation.
Each of these Master Paths grants incredible power, but the deeper you go, the more warped, alien, and inhuman you become. It’s a love letter to body horror, but with a practical, rules-focused twist: every transformation gives you a new way to break the world around you.
Is This Too Much?
Absolutely. But you’re going to love it!
Whether you’re reconstructing yourself with gears and wires, sculpting your body into an unholy fusion of monstrosity, or simply deciding that yes, six arms is the optimal number for sword fighting, Magnum Opus is here to push your game into new and terrible places.
I had an absolute blast creating this one. Now it’s your turn.
