Come, I will conceal nothing from you: I cannot afford to get into TORG ETERNITY. It’s not that any one source book is expensive, but there’s a lot of them, and I’m not going to be playing TORG any time soon*. But the Pan Pacifica Kickstarter looks real neat, if you have the disposable income.
*That ten-buck preorder of TORG ETERNITY: ORRORSH looks like a steal, thoug… No! NO! That’s exactly how they reel you in. Be strong, Moe! Be strong!

I’m not sure if I’m backing the BLADE RUNNER RPG yet. It looks nice, but I’m not playing the games I have now. On the bright side, at the time of writing the Kickstarter has clocked in at just over 27,400 m$d$ ($1,151 million), so it doesn’t need my money. That’s always a relief.
The HST.3.33, a Third-Party CY_BORG Musical Interlude Kickstarter is juuuuust on the verge of funding, so check it out. It’s an interesting little mini-RPG about a substance-abusing cyberpunk cyborg. …Yeah, God knows when I’d have time to play that, either. But Phil Reed’s a good egg.
I like the look of ALTER EGO (or THE DARING DOUBLE LIFE OF ACE ADAMS). Pretty much literally: it’s a cheerfully retro superhero comic, complete with a 1950s aesthetic and style. It’s funded, but every little bit helps, right?
Anyway, two days to go!
Money’s come in, so it’s time to start constructing SKUs and setting up the Backerkit store and the rest of it. I also should be getting chapters soon, and once that happens things start to move along. We’re well on track to fulfilling TINSEL RAIN early, but if I want that to stay on track then I had better get cracking, right?
I’ll put up links when they’re ready. In the meantime, there’s my Amazon page.
That’s the actual final total of Brandon Sanderson’s Kickstarter, rounded to the nearest $50,000. So it follows, then, that a microsanderson (m$d$) wouldbe worth $41.75*. This is a good number for measuring Kickstarters! For example, my recent Kickstarter clocks in at 62.01 m$d$, which is a reasonable number to work with.
Calibrate accordingly.

*It is reasonable, I suppose, to peg the m$d$ at $42. That would make my recent Kickstarter 62.64 m$d$, instead. I am amenable to either method.
We’ve admittedly got a slog to get to the audiobook level, but the TINSEL RAIN Kickstarter has been a marked success. It’s certainly given me some flexibility for the rest of the year.
But there’s still a day left! So sign up today to get the extra short stories stretch goal! I don’t know when these post-apocalyptic science horror stories are ever getting published, so now is the time to grab them!
This is the home stretch for my TINSEL RAIN fantasy novel Kickstarter: we have passed the extra free fiction goal, and are halfway to the audiobook! Now is the time of final chances! Back my project today!
That means everybody gets the extra stories now – and I’ll bundle up all the Fermi Resolution art and maps I’ve commissioned for our first-day supporters. Huzzah!
Moving along: we’re over halfway to the audiobook stretch goal with, okay, four days to go. But why not take that swing? The Kickstarter ends Thursday: tell all your friends!
Frank J Fleming’s got a story in this Kickstarter, I like Frank, and God knows I should shut up about my Kickstarter every so often, so… check out SHAPERS OF WORLDS Volume III. They’re 69% of the way there, with eighteen days to go, and every little bit helps, hey? Besides, this isn’t a zero-sum game.
