What's the worst place in the multiverse to go on vacation? Evermaw, the plane of Undeath, seems like the top contender. And that's EXACTLY where we're headed with the third and final installment of our loosely-linked trilogy of terror!

What town might we visit in Warlock 30? What horrors and delights await us there? Zobeck is the focus of our attention, and this issue provides a cornucopia of urban adventure characters, spells, items, and plots, later this month for all patrons.
Which article catches your eye, dear reader?
It's 2022, you wonderful patrons, and we've got a lot upcoming in this grand new year!
Let's start that off with opportunities for playtesting. We want to give everyone in this Warlock community the chance to playtest our various upcoming projects.
And the first such project has arrived! Join the latest playtest muster here:
If you are a divine king who happens to be undead, you have a lot of time to think up plans. Evil, evil plans, like the ones in this month's Lair by designer Kelly Pawlik! It is full of undead and fiends (naturally) and continues the exploration that we began last month in The Waking Tom...

What happens when an ancient tomb.... awakens? Why, the heroes who survive it get rich, and they spend their wealth trying to forget the horrors they've seen!
(One might also suggest that sometimes the heroes never leave, but then there is no one to tell the tale.)

In the meantime though, we need to consider a possible second volume! And maybe you'd like to help decide that?

Children are missing, and the townspeople are unsure where they have gone. Magic is no help, but the Mayor wants to hire some outsiders to poke their noses into the matter. Some dark spirit is clearly working evil, and it needs to be dealt with!

Yes, black wings are well-groomed, and the rune lore is deep and never before seen among unfeathered folk. The next Warlock zine is all about the mysteries of the raven folk, their magic, their powers, their societies and abilities. With connections to the Northlands, the Southlands, and the wisdom of Wotan, this race has mastered many forms of wisdom.

Sometimes a captain meets his fate, and his remains are sunk in the depths, and yet somehow he returns. This was the fate of Erasmus the Black, the notorious pirate who gained a second chance at life... And used it to return to the hidden base he had built with the spoils of a hundred plundered merchant ships.

Look to the skies in fear, adventurers, for the Dragons zine has arrived! with cover art by the impressively scaly Karl Waller, and interior by Celeste Conowitch, Gabe Hicks, and Richard Pett, there's certainly plenty to terrify heroes with!
