Gar's novels - a thread.
First, we've got the Black Iron Legacy series, starting with THE GUTTER PRAYER.
Three thieves - runaway Carillon Thay, slowly petrifying Spar, and corpse-eating ghoul-monster Rat - get embroiled in a web of intrigue and sorcery. Crazed gods, alchemy-punk, high weirdness.

You were teasing a possibility for a fuller game, at the end of the blog post, so I was surreptitiously angling for an update.
Necromantic family dramas, occult spycraft, political campaigning against rogue divinities, and in the middle of it all is poor Eladora Duttin, Carillon's unfortunate bookworm cousin.
Carillon embarks on a journey to save her dying friend, while Eladora tries to hold the city of Guerdon together. More weird cities! The Godfather, if the Godfather was a dragon! Worm people! The Godswar!
Twenty years ago, Alf one of the heroic band that saved the world. The forces of Good occupied the Dark Lord's city; Alf was entrusted with his evil sword Spellbreaker.
Now, darkness rises again - but heroes aren't what they used to be...
Turns out everything Alf believed about the world was a lie, and now the kingdom's falling into civil war. Can a well-intentioned but not very bright meatshield and a demonic talking sword avert catastrophe?
(The burning city on the cover suggests: no.)
Twenty years since the civil war; forty years since the fall of Lord Bone. Alf's old and forgotten -
Until a vampire elf shows up on his doorstep, and tells him that his sword's needed one more time...
One last chance to put everything right.
