Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no. This is bad. This is very, very bad. I did not need to be told about SPACE 1889: AFTER.
That’s seventy bucks for a copy of the game, that is. I don’t have that kind of money. I’ve already blown my Christmas money on something else, too. Still, an updated version of the game… no. No, no, no, no, no.
I had a consultation with a guy in the industry – like, a paid one and everything – and based on we discussed I could probably swing getting the whole Fermi Resolution RPG up and running for about a grand. Do it through DriveThruRPG, sell it for $15B&W/$25 color. It’s mostly done, and the remaining steps aren’t insurmountable.
The problem is: I’ve already distributed a working copy of the game to my Kickstarter backers (I’d make sure they got clean PDFs of the finished version), so I don’t know if it would fund. I also don’t know how many I’d sell, although honestly having it on the vendor table would be useful in other ways. Anybody have any thoughts on the subject?
Shaenon Garrity is in on this, and she’s a good egg, so I’m down. Besides, LOLcraft: A Compendium of Eldritch Humor certainly fits the date…
Widdershins is a good webcomic. I like it. I kind of want to write the RPG for it, but Kate’s been bugged about that so many times (by people who weren’t me), I’m carefully not bringing it up. I happily backed the SEA CHANGE Kickstarter.
Just saying.
Code Warriors looks like fun: it’s basically Tron meets the apocalypse. Very retro look to it too, which is always a plus. Check it out.
…Oh, I’m sorry. Did I shout that out? My bad. Anyway, the SECRET WORLD RPG Kickstarter is actually at $101K, which is hardly shabby for a $40K project. I look forward to the next stretch goal, although not nearly as much I look forward TO GETTING THE TOKYO DUNGEONS AND THE FUSANG PvP BOARD BACK, FUNCOM…
Sorry! Sorry!
Some more details about the Secret World TT RPG:
There was another Kickstarter that dropped today, called ATOMIC ROBO AND THE VENGEFUL DEAD HARDCOVER EDITION. Tesladyne described it as follows: “wherein the robot punches some vampires.” Having read it, I can readily agree that this is what the story is about. If you’re into that sort of thing, it’s a thing worth backing*.
*I am into that sort of thing.
Nothing, you hear me?!? Nothing!

PS: By the way, it would be really cool if everybody in the world bought my books, now. I know, I know, it would always be really cool – but right now there is perhaps a little urgency involved.

The Secret World RPG Kickstarter starts next week. Hopefully it’ll fund without any trouble, but obviously Star Anvil isn’t taking any chances. Here’s the launch video: it’s gonna be a great setting, I think. It certainly is for the MMO.
