About this listen

In a world full to bursting with would-be heroes, Jim couldn't be less interested in saving the day. His fireballs fizzle. He's awfully grumpy. Plus, he's 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, he's got a few shambling corpses, an inept thief, and a powerful death wish. But he's 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.

*Mogworld is the debut novel from video-game icon Yahtzee Croshaw (Zero Punctuation)!

I loved the humor and the odd perspective this story had. I'm not sure how to praise it without giving any spoilers, but it definitely scratched an itch for a humorous fantasy novel and was expertly narrated.

this author is my new favorite! I listened to the jack series and that was awesome too

I love the" fresh" perspective of this book!

I listened to both DEDA files books first and loved them. This being his first book, I believe, Yahtzee definitely gets much better at narration which helps the whole experience.

The narration gets better

Croshaw’s debut novel is a hilarious romp that is as dark and cynical as it is deep and philosophical.

Hilarious Satire and Rather Deep

Incredible performance again

I enjoyed the premise of the story, and despite being one that seemed familiar, it stil managed to surprise me with shine of the twists.

The main character is oddly relatable, and in fact I'd say that to those who think the rule about making characters relatable doesn't make sense in fantasy, here's a prime example of how to do that. In one of the most ridiculously unrelatable scenarios a character could ever possibly find themselves in, Jim manages to be more relatable than most story protagonists.

I had read Yahtzee's Will Save The Galaxy books before I found this one, and his characterizations are great here just like in those. I do love it when an author has the guts to narrate their own audiobooks, as no one really knows those characters as deeply as they do.

Clever and entertaining

I have listened to Mogworld 4 times and continue to enjoy it every time. Mogwold and Jam could really use a re-recording the sound quality is a bit off,that is why I gave it a four star overall rating. Fantasy/SciFi do your self a favor and Croshaw works a listen I don’t think you will regret it and you may find a new story to love,

Really Good

Really enjoyed this book and love this style of narration. I couldn’t put it down.

Loved it

I love Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw’s quintessentially British style. Imagine Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams wrote the lore for World of Warcraft and you’ve got the idea!

Some of Yahtzee’s voice acting is a little lacking and the overall production and editing could use some work, but I loved every minute and immediately started listening again after I finished.

It’s a surprisingly deep, dark, and funny story that will appeal to anyone passingly familiar with fantasy video games and RPGs, but might not be as impactful to someone unfamiliar with the concepts. Overall, 9/10!

Wonderfully witty story, lessened only slightly by amateur voice acting
