This is a collection of short stories written by Derek Pegritz (The Beast In All, Deployment, Black Grail, Church of Metamorphosis) and Mike Franchina (Angel) over the many years that Mike was piecing together trench crusade and building the world long before it would ever become a game.

While many of the details have changed, and even more are changing now, I believe they are important stories and moments in the development of the game, so I wanted to put them on the channel.

I love these stories as I feel they really set the tone for the world that Mike is looking to create, and the tiny horror in the detail speaks for itself.

Various pieces of art are used in this video by Mike Franchina.

Trench Crusade was created and designed by Mike Franchina, James Sherriff, and Tuomas Pirinen.
