We are in the final days of the Kickstarter campaign for the hardcover edition of ATOMIC ROBO AND THE PERIL OF PROMETHEUS!
And, of course, Doctor Dinosaur's terrible cook book (I'm begging you to never use or read it).
If you haven't secured your copies yet, THEN DO SO RIGHT NOW.
Well, probably less than one week by the time you're reading this!
No, I don't mean modern civilization as a whole. No, not even democracy. We lost those ages ago.
I speak, of course, of the Kickstarter campaign for the hardcover edition of ATOMIC ROBO AND THE PERIL OF PROMETHEUS!
We're over 200% funded and our backers have reached all but one of our revealed stretch goals. Will there be more after that? Unfortunately, there is one one way to find out — throw more money at the pile!
Time's running out, get your very own copy today!
Just wanted to thank everyone for supporting our hardcover campaign for ATOMIC ROBO AND THE PERIL OF PROMETHEUS. Oh, and, yeah, Doctor Dinosaur's absolutely horrible cook book. Don't buy it, it will only encourage him. And if you do buy it, Don't read it. It will only endanger you.
Take a look at the stretch goals you folks have already annihilated (complimentary)...
As of this blog post we're sitting at $39k, so it looks like we're definitely getting those production notes. All we need is a little push to make that awful, awful cook book even better (worse).
Hello, loyal and faithful comic book readers of the Atomical Robot variety.
(that's you)
I bring you good news, which is rarer than gold these days, and it is this. We are launching the Kickstarter campaign for Atomic Robo and the Peril of Prometheus right now!
It'll look, more or less, like this...
But that's not all.
Despite our best efforts and multiple warnings from our legal team, Doctor Dinosaur has written a cook book. It looks like this...
Do not — and I cannot stress this enough — use this cook book!
There's other stuff too. Prints, original art, sketches, blah blah blah.
Does it seem like everything is going horribly wrong in your life? It's probably because you missed the Kickstarter campaign for the hardcover edition of ATOMIC ROBO AND THE AGENTS OF C.H.A.N.G.E.
Okay, to be fair, it could be something else. But my unbiased opinion is that it is 100% definitely the hardcover thing! Which is good news because you can reserve your own copy today! And maybe pick up some more hardcovers and other Robo themed goodies while you're at it why not!
Please excuse this minor hiccup! Today's page had a minor production snafu that would have made reading it confusing! We will have that fixed and uploaded as soon as possible. The funny thing is that there is another production snafu for the next few pages, which is that they are not yet fully colored or lettered because they were drawn last. So, while the rest of the issue is 100% complete, there is a batch of pages in the middle that are only partly done.
Don't ask.
Anyway, TL;DR — we'll have things back up and running in a week or so. And I promise the next issue will have a normal production schedule.
If you are in or around the DelMarVa area this weekend, then you need to come on down to AwesomeCon and check out the Atomic Robo booth in the heart of Artists Alley. There's also a really great show all around that booth but, in my completely unbiased opinion, the Atomic Robo booth is the obvious highlight.
We'll be there all three days and, don't tell anyone, but we might have some surprises for folks who drop by. See you there!
Did you miss us? We missed you!
Pages of ATOMIC ROBO AND THE PERIL OF PROMETHEUS will begin updating online on WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12th. Hey, that's next week! You can celebrate by re-reading the first two issues to get your head back in the mystery!
Scott will be at Emerald City Comic Con, March 6 - 9. Booth 20804!
Brian will be at Awesome Con, April 4 - 6. No booth number yet, but it'll be somewhere in Artists Alley.
You may have noticed that your Friday was not graced with a brand new page of ATOMIC ROBO AND THE PERIL OF PROMETHEUS. And if you didn't, well, good thing Atomic Robo is the detective in this little murder mystery and not you.
But we aren't depriving you out of cruelty, we're taking a little break from updates since we know most of you folks are gonna be mighty distracted by all usual end of year insanity. Look at it this way. We've given you an excellent excuse to re-read the first two issues to familiarize yourself with the mystery when the third issue debuts!
Hey, I finished another TTRPG project. This one is called FUTURESHOCK 2017 and you play chromed out freelancers doing illegal jobs for psychopathic criminals (gangs or corporate) in the neonoir world of Edge City.
The text is written as if it's the updated edition of a game that was originally released in 1987.
Anyway, for you turbo nerds out there, this is an OSR largely inspired by David Black’s The Black Hack (the core systems, Enemies, and spells as Hacks), Matt Click’s The Mecha Hack (Archetypes and Augmentations), Phil Lewis’ The Lavender Hack (Locations, Contacts, and Hustles), Mike Evans’ Barbarians of the Ruined Earth (Vehicles), and Scott Wegener’s Home (Resources, NPCs, and Downtime generally).
You can get a copy over at our itch.io store. This version is pay-what-you-want because A) there's a few things I'd like to add/change, and B) it's text only — no layout or art to make it look good. So, don't fret if you wanna grab it for free! We'll pursue a fancy edition at a later date and you can throw money at that version.
