Date game
Friends! A couple of important dates are looming.
First of all... Topatoco has posted their 2014 Holiday Ordering Deadline guide! If you would like to order any of my books, shirts, or other swag, this will let you know when you need to order (and what shipping methods you need to use) to get it in time for Christmas. The first looming deadline, for international buyers, is December 4th: after the 4th, you'll need to splurge for Priority Express mail to get your parcel before Christmas.
Secondly, on December 3rd (this Wednesday) at 10am Pacific/1pm Eastern, we'll be hosting a Reddit Ask Me Anything about the Sam and Fuzzy RPG! This will give us a chance to answer any and all of your questions about either the game itself or the expansive Sam and Fuzzy universe guidebook.
It's a big project, but I've been previewing little bits and pieces of it via our Kickstarter updates. Over the last week or two, I've posted a guide to our character creation system and some sample pages from our jobs section. And on Friday, I posted some sample pages from the guidebook section! You can check it out by clicking the image below.
The last thing we'd like to do before the campaign ends is record a sample playsession of the game -- we're working on that now! After that, I'll feel like we'll have given folks a pretty solid general impression of the project, but we're eager to answer any specific questions you all might have. (Hence the Ask Me Anything!) So start your brainstorming.

Rest Day
Hi team! If no one minds, I think I'll take this week off from our usual Q and A feature. I'm just a little exhausted today and could use a mild load-lightening. But never fear: today's comic is still here as always, ready for you to cosume!
The RPG kickstarter continues ever forward... we are getting pretty close to that Shapeshifter goal! I'll be sharing some more previews of the gamebook insides in the coming days. We'll also be doing a Ask Me Anything on Reddit next Wednesday -- that's Dec 3, at 10am pacific/1pm eastern -- if you have any specific questions for us! (You can, of course, also just message us via the kickstarter page.)
We return on Monday! See you then, gang. (And Happy Thanksgiving, American friends!)

Get a job
As promised, I posted a big update on our Kickstarter about The Underground RPG's jobs system!
Sam and Fuzzy is filled with strange, outrageous, and criminal careers -- Ninja Mafiosos, pop stars, gangster gerbils, evil executives, cyborg enforcers -- and we've made sure to represent them all in our game, as well. But it's also about "normal" people being sucked into extraordinary circumstances. So we've also included a plenty of seemingly "ordinary" careers with unexpectedly useful powers and skills.
You can head over to the Kickstarter site to check it all out. I think it's some pretty cool stuff! But if nothing else, the jobs section is also providing me with a fun excuse to draw portraits of a million different characters from throughout Sam and Fuzzy history!

I also decided to marker colour one of the big originals we have available as a high end tier. This huge 11x14 party scene is up for grabs in our "ORIGINAL PRINT ART" tier, if anyone is interested!
