The November Patreon stuff is up!

I’m mildly cheating, but only mildly. Chapter Four of BANSHEE BEACH had tons of [put something cool in here] notes, which is both necessary and a terrifying thing to do. What if you forget? …I’ve seen those things get as far as an E-ARC. It’s a valid fear.

Anyway:

Behold!

Short Story: Chapter Four of BANSHEE BEACH: It’s Forty Miles to Red Beach. The world of the Fermi Resolution is kind of weird, because it’s post-apocalyptic, not medieval. This book’s gonna get into that a little, methinks.
RPG Material: The Cunning Land, Part One: Background. This is gonna be a little more hard-edged than originally conceived. The trick is gonna be not to make it too hard-edged.

The Dropbox link to the v.80 copy of the TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION RPG.

I was talking about my FERMI RESOLUTION RPG to one of the con goers at Doxicon today, and I told him I’d put a link to it up on my website. Here it is! It’s not ready for commercial release yet, but maybe next year. Enjoy!

I may be having conversations with people about the Fermi Resolution RPG.

As everyone who is interested already knows, the Fermi Resolution RPG is mostly done. A buddy of mine in the TTRPG space may know a couple of people who would be interested in doing the layout work necessary to make it into something sellable. If I do that, the tentative plan then would be to funding it by trying out Backerkit’s crowdfunding platform, and see how that goes. I’ve heard really good stuff from people who have used it for direct crowdfunding, and certainly Backerkit’s customer service is excellent.

So keep watching the skies!

The Inevitable: A Doomed Arthurian Western RPG Kickstarter.

Inevitable: A Doomed Arthurian Western RPG is just what it says on the label; Arthurian, Western, and Doomed. It legitimately looks like a lot of fun to play, especially if you liked the first few books in Stephen King’s Dark Tower series. Last but not least: it’s ethically sourced. I explicitly checked, and the publisher indicated they’re planning to use an Estonian firm. So, no realistic chance of slave labor being used*! That’s always a plus.

*God, but I hate having to ask that question.

The August Patreon Entries.

Stuff I just make up stuff about: science fiction, and warfare!

Short Story: Tour Of Duty. It’s amazing what people get used to. Set in the same universe as the upcoming novel GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND.
RPG Entry: Ashes of Empire, Part 6b: The Overthrow War. The next entry will probably be the last one. This one looks at the broad details of the war, because the war itself would make for a better wargame.

v0.8 of the Fermi Resolution rPG up on Patreon.

Now, this is how it goes. You folks, you use the Dropbox link. But when you tell other people, you give ’em the Patreon link. See? See? …Unless they’re, I dunno, cool and everything. In that case: yeah, give ’em the Dropbox link. I trust your judgement.

If you’ve pre-ordered the Swords of the Serpentine RPG…

…the book is available in your Pelgrane Press bookshelf. Been looking forward to getting SWORDS OF THE SERPENTINE for a while: Kevin and Em are good folks. I was glad to help playtest it. And, as I recall, some of the people reading this were in on that…

Reddit tells me that if you preordered Swords of the Serpentine RPG by @multiplexer and myself, the final PDF is now live in your @PelgranePress bookshelf. It’s out, go see!

The Between the Devil & the Deep GUMSHOE RPG Kickstarter.

Pirate adventures for GUMSHOE! And the Between the Devil & the Deep Kickstarter is being done by the people who got their print run once pulped by the PRC, so I’m reasonably certain they’ll be able to avoid using slave labor to print their books. I think I got burned once or twice in that regard lately, so I’m trying to be more careful. Check it out!

Gotten most of the extra FERMI RESOLUTION RPG in!

Ben Fleuter‘s work, obviously (he did the original art assets). Anyway, he’s almost done with them, so here’s a sample:

The rest of the art (and the edits) should be done by the end of the month. Then it’s off to layout for the final version! Huzzah!

Welp, that’s the last of the first wave of FERMI RESOLUTION RPG edits done.

I should be get the rules edits by the end of the month, not to mention the rest of the art. After that, I can send the project back, have my layout designer clean up everything, and then… it’ll be done! And praise God.

A slightly spoilerific sample page after the fold. The final language will change, mind.
