Chuck Rice is Turning Japanese

One of my favourite RPG writers, Chuck Rice (author of the recent Modern²⁰), is planning on writing a Japanese-style RPG. Not a Japanese setting, but one using Japanese conventions and styles. I really can't describe it as well as he can, so check out his blog. It sounds really cool.

He's releasing it under the ransom model - basically, he's taking donations at a site called Fundable in $10 increments. When he's raised $600, he'll complete the book and release the PDF for free. I'd encourage all my readers (all four of you) to donate at least ten bucks to this. I have the feeling it'll be worth it.

Good and Bad News

In Good News today, David S. Gallant received a promotion at work.

In Bad News, this promotion requires more commitment from him, meaning the already meager amount of writing he's able to accomplish these days will diminish further.

BIZZAM!

So, Action Maneuvers has been released. Last week it climbed up the charts so I assume it sold pretty good. An audio ad for the book (recorded by myself and my fiancée) is featured in the latest Accidental Survivors special episode, and is due to play again during their one-year retrospective show.

What's next? My name's been attached to a couple of projects in support of Modern²⁰. Finding time to work on any of that has been tough with my new job schedule. What I need is something to make me productive during my commute to work - pen and notepad just isn't cutting it.

Also, as something of an inside joke in response to an ENWorlder's assertion about Canada in games, I'm trying to produce a monster book / adventure entitled Evil Canada. It seems that, in most games, Canada is sugar-coated as just a left-leaning democratic nation with nothing sinister to hide. I plan to blow the truth wide open like a moose hitting an SUV.
