"Hollowfaust: City of Necromancers"

--from the defunct "Scarred Lands" campaign setting by Sword & Sorcery Studios. Did anyone here ever have the opportunity to mess around with it? The sourcebook seems to do a pretty good job of outlining a plausibly non-evil society of necromantic scholars, and the history of the city-state they have established.
The writers put a decent amount of evocative detail into the setting, including a rather distinctive 'uniform' for their necromancers: broad-brimmed hat, scarf and heavy overcoat. I can't shake the feeling that I've encountered this ensemble before in dark fantasy, but darned if I can remember where. Maybe I'm just thinking of some Japanese cartoon or other. In any case, it seems like a good sartorial choice for necromancers.
