Published by Lamentations of the Flame Princess, Vornheim the Complete City Kit describes the iconic city of Vornheim (that was featured as the setting of I Hit It With My Axe) and also the best city-creation guide I’ve ever seen — and I’ve seen my share. So I talked to its creator, Zak Smith (also Zak Sabbath in the adult film industry) on Google Hangouts to know more about this weird fantasy city and the creative solutions the book presents.

Vornheim was the winner of Golden Crown Awards’ Best Supplement for a Role Playing Game. You can read more about it here.
