Mogworld

Jim is a former magic student who has been dead for some time, and he would like nothing more than to stay that way. A rogue necromancer has dragged him out of his eternal rest anyway. Jim's only wish is a proper, permanent death, but the necromancer has other ideas. Her scheme pulls in furious adventurers, a clumsy thief, lurching corpses, and a crew of software developers. The author is best known for his sharp video game criticism, and that background shows in a comic fantasy that pokes fun at the conventions of online role-playing worlds.
