Although he just intended to find his thaumechanical mule (and maybe learn the secret to travel across the void), he gets pulled into a plot to slaughter millions, and undercut the foundations of what makes Hell, Hell. Clempson Goes to Hell is a light-hearted knife to the vitals for that which a corrupt society holds dear. It explores the conundrum, If a sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology, then is a sufficiently double-crossing evil indistinguishable from good?https://thaumechanic.substack.com/podcasttrueserialhttps://feeds.captivate.fm/clempson-goes-to-hell/nopodcastEpisode 1: The Valley of RegretsEpisode 1: The Valley of Regrets
