+Blasphemer aims to create a free content package for the Heretic engine,
+with a theme of metal-inspired dark fantasy.
+
+Any limit-removing Doom source port that is compatible with Heretic can
+be used to play Blasphemer. Blasphemer is an iwad, meaning the complete
+set of resources required for a game but still requires an executable
+engine to be played. You can turn your favorite Heretic pwads into
+Lovecraftian nightmares using Blasphemer.
+
+Blasphemer requires a Doom/Heretic engine to play, such as zdoom or
+crispy-heretic (both available from slackbuilds.org; the latter is
+part of the crispy-doom package). It does NOT require the original
+Heretic IWAD file, as it is a replacement for it.
+
+This package installs 2 wad files in /usr/share/games/doom:
+
+blasphem.wad - Replacement IWAD for Heretic.
+blasphdm.wad - Standalone deathmatch-only level pack.
+
+To use these data files with zdoom, simply build and install this
+package. You will be prompted for which IWAD file to use (i.e. which
+game to play) when starting zdoom. Other Doom/Heretic source ports,
+such as crispy-heretic, may require a command-line option in order to
+set the IWAD file.
