Mogworld

Mogworld by Croshaw, Yahtzee. paperback edition. ISBN: 0001595825290.

In a world full to bursting with would-be heroes, Jim couldnt be less interested in saving the day. His fireballs fizzle. Hes awfully grumpy. Plus, hes been dead for about sixty years. When a renegade necromancer wrenches him from eternal slumber and into a world gone terribly, bizarrely wrong, all Jim wants is to find a way to die properly, once and for all. On his side, hes got a few shambling corpses, an inept thief, and a powerful death wish. But hes up against tough odds: angry mobs of adventurers, a body falling apart at the seams - and a team of programmers racing a deadline to hammer out the last few bugs in their AI.
