A Little Immortality: The Kickstarter!

We’ve launched the Kickstarter for A Little Immortality: Schlock Mercenary Book 17, and it has already funded.

Also, it has already blown past all but one of our original stretch goals, including one that gives everybody (not just backers—everybody) a free desktop wallpaper.

Our plan was to launch it *quietly* on Tuesday, and then announce it here a day later in order to see how our newsletter was performing, but the launch was not quiet, and then things got busy, and now the “a day later” is more than half a day gone.

I’d write more, but everything I want to say is over on the Kickstarter project page, so click that and learn all the things!

I’m Still Alive, It’s True

If your only method for taking my pulse is asking “how often does this site update?” I probably seem kind of dead. Whoever it was who said “the rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated,” they nailed it.

Of late I’ve been focused almost entirely on the XDM2e project. Here’s a fun picture I drew for that book.

Once that project is complete, I’ll dive back into more Schlock Mercenary print editions. In the meantime, I’m still role-playing on Tuesdays with TypeCastRPG, and quietly developing the worldbook and back-stories for a completely new project which I’m not ready to announce yet.

The salient point here is that I’m still alive, and “alive” appears to be a stable, persistent sort of condition. Yay!

Streaming the Possible Stream

Every weekday at noon my time¹, from now until the sketch editions are complete, I will be live-streaming the sketching.

I don’t know how long each stream will run, so be sure to click “follow” over at twitch.tv/howardtayler to get notified the moment my cameras go live.

You can view previous streams via this link, but they expire after fourteen days, so don’t wait too long before clicking through.

The chatroom has been a friendly place, and you’re welcome to join us. Ask me questions, even! I can absolutely talk while I draw².

¹ 12:00 noon Mountain time. That’s 2pm in New York City, 7pm in London, and 3am in Tokyo.
² It’s exactly like talking while walking. Sometimes it’s like talking while walking a familiar path. Sometimes it’s like talking while walking in traffic. Yes, complications have arisen from this.
