NPC is Fortress of Amplitude’s first book. The 159-page document chronicles hours, days, and years of gaming. This is not Dungeons and Dragons (nor Advanced Dungeons and Dragons) but rather a custom built system with a focus on story, not battle. The creation of this system is the adventure that you follow through exploring the child-to-adolescent world that is NPC.
What is Loom of Doom? The album begins with the title track which is a 13 minute long epic through the depths of our souls. The second track, “All are Punished!”, is Fortress of Amplitude performing a 35 minute live DJ set on 4 turntables. Overall the cdr is an emotional journey through a fantasical world beyond any human's perceptual capabilities.
