The cross-collaboration reward for the FERMI RESOLUTION WORLDBOOK is almost ready to go out!

This is a reward that people who backed both the FERMI RESOLUTION WORLDBOOK and the LEAD AND CHROME Backerkits are going to get: I want to do one last check on it before I load it up on Backerkit for distribution. This is not going to be for commercial distribution, although I expect that the maps for it and some of the text will be available in a later supplement.

Keep watching the skies!

Surveys for the Fermi Resolution Worldbook Backerkit have just gone out!

Be sure to fill them out promptly, and check out the pre-order store while you’re there. I should also note that while my science fiction horror novel GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND is not available for pre-order, it’s still a good book and you should buy it anyway.

First look at the final Fermi Resolution Worldbook campaign numbers.

This is going to be just a general look at how things went, and an attempt to find meaning in the numbers. Nobody ever talks about this stuff in public, and I sort of understand why, but data is data and I hope somebody will find it useful. It’d be nice not to guess as much, right?

Maps! (No actual maps in post)

Not maps I can show yet, alas: they’re still being checked and approved. But my Backerkit partner Lead & Chrome and I are collaborating on a cross-project extra for the folks who backed both of our Backerkit, and I think it’s going to come out pretty well. Anyway, that’s what I’ve been looking at for the last forty minutes. Maps!

PS: Probably next week for the preorder store. It’s starting to take shape, but I need details on the actual project’s final page size and layout, and I’m getting more info on that next week. We’re not dawdling on this, but neither are we rushing. There are inelastic time considerations.

We’ve hit the second Backerkit stretch goal! Also, it all ends tomorrow.

The second stretch goal means that the artist and layout artist both get a little tip. Nothing spectacular, but a little extra thank-you. In the meantime, the Fermi Resolution Worldbook has until tomorrow to hit the following stretch goals:

  • $4,000: Another PDF adventure! This will be available to for all backers at Senior Adventurer and above. This adventure will be set in the current campaign time period. A critical forward base in captured Dominion territory isn’t reporting in. There aren’t enough Alliance troops available to investigate, but that’s why there are Adventurers. There will be maps! (Based on my short story “Job Along the Borderlands.”)
  • $6,000: A third PDF adventure! This will be available to for all backers at Senior Adventurer and above. This adventure will be set in the opening years of the Great War. There has been a mysterious murder in Boston’s fabled underground Antiquity. Who or what is the murderer, what are their plans, and what is to be done about it all? There will be maps! (Based on the yet-to-be-published-in-an-anthology short story “Never Return.”

These are the last days of the Fermi Resolution Worldbook Backerkit!

Less than forty eight hours to go on my tabletop roleplaying game project! The Fermi Resolution Worldbook is useful for both gamers and my fiction readers, as it doubles as a reference for the Fermi Resolution series. Plus, there’s art, maps, and even hints about future stories! I’m not saying you have to get it, but it’ll be useful.

Check it out today!
