1) Stunner RPG sheets will go out sometime this week!
2) So will RPG sheet packages for the new $10 Patrons!
3) And then I'll do a poll for the next RPG sheet!
4) For Booksmart Patrons and above, RIGHT NOW, I'm posting a poll for the subject of my next flash fiction (about 1,000 words) short story! Whoever ya'll pick, I'll find a way to write a story about them.
5) I am working my butt off on StarStreakers! Getting more comfortable with the code and writing more of the ...

Here's the early preview of strip #012! I'll post it elsewhere next week. (DG seems to win these showdowns, doesn't she?)
Gloves and I are trying to figure out how, or if, to proceed with the "Hijinks" web strip, and so I figured I would ask your opinions!
Much of it boils down to economics. I need to pay Gloves to draw the strips. I absolutely adore them (so much), and I love working with Gloves in designing/writing them. But ultimately, I don't know what to "do" with the strip.
I...

As the Quickie Tier was designed to be a one time "catch up," and since only 6 people remain at the tier, I plan to delete it VERY soon.
If you're on the Quickie Tier now, please move down to Booksmart. I'll also send you Messages in a moment. Thanks!

I honestly wanted to get at least a short demo of CCH3 posted by this weekend, but it just doesn't look like it's going to happen.
This is what I have so far:
1) Character creation (I tried to make it fun, but man I have to carry over a ton of variables just for anything to make sense)
2) First short scene (with RO)
3) First short scene (re: your path)
I'm realizing how wide some of the CCH3 scenes will be with all the ROs as well as 3 different paths. Well, I already k...

Well, this will definitely be the next project of mine that's published and ready to go out into the world...galaxy...cosmos.
Still in the initial stages, but gaining momentum with the story every day! I can't go into many specifics yet, but I can say StarStreakers! will take an episodic approach, with new Episodes released (fairly) frequently, so it's much different than projects like the CCH series that take several years between published works. Think of it more akin to a Netflix series or ...

Who will win?
The multi-mouthed monster?
The wheezing pyrokinetic?
The mysterious reality-bender?
The vengeful teleporter?

I am NOT good at sticking to exact dates for things, so I won't even try to do that. But I CAN give you a preview of what's to come this month, in the approximate order you should expect to see them...
1) Downfall RPG sheets will be distributed soon!
2) After those are distributed, I'll post a poll for the Oct RPG sheet character.
3) I will post the reworked version of the Dr. Hover short story for the Booksmart+ folks. My writing group has helped me make it stronger, IMO.

Soon, I will post the CCH3 demo. For now, the demo will be a Patreon Exclusive (this will eventually change when I decide that I need more feedback).
It will be available to everyone at the Booksmart level and up.
The demo won't be huge, but it will greatly excite me to take this first small step into the final Issues of the trilogy.
Then, from October on, I'll update the demo monthly. Some updates will be small, and others large, but I absolutely mus...

Join me for a live chat this Tuesday night! I'll start the chat session by answering questions, and then around 9:15 PM I'll bring on a special guest, Speck HELL Professor Sandy McCormick!
Professor McCormick is only "mildly annoyed" at having to make this appearance, so I'm crossing my fingers for an entertaining interview! And I usually reserve chats for Booksmart + levels, but this time, to get more people involved, ALL LEVELS are invited to chat!

1) I'm hoping to crank out another flash fiction story similar to that of Dr. Hover's this week. If I finish one, it will be available for all Booksmart+ Patrons!
2) I'm still working on a CCH3 demo, with the intention of providing it this fall, but full disclosure, there's no way it will happen in August.
3) I'm also working on StarStreakers! for FableLabs! My treatment (story summary/outline) has been approved, so now I'm waist deep learning some new programs to code it. It will have m...

I just wanted to let everyone know that the delivery of Synergy's sheet will be later than it usually is due to vacation issues.
But as always, you'll get a PM from me with the sheet when it's ready. Thanks for your Specktacular patience!

2) Art contest ends in EIGHT days! Submit before it's too late!
3) I've been working most of July on a project that really excites me! I hope to be able to say more about this soon, but I need to be mysterious for now.
4) I'm also starting work on a new CCH short story! I'm still brainstorming ways to get these into the marketplace, but $5+ Patrons will get them! (I anticipa...

This one was inspired by a drawing submitted to the last CCH Art Contest in Spring 2017 by CoG Forum Member MockTurtle!
Gloves is already working on another batch of these, so Hijinks #009 should be ready for posting by the end of July!

I scheduled a chat for 9PM EST for this coming Wednesday, June 20th, but I haven't see anyone comment or indicate that they want to participate.
If you plan to participate, can you like or comment below? If there's not interest right now, I can always offer it again later this summer.

If you joined as a Quickie Level supporter in May, and your payment went through around June 1st, you are officially caught up with RPG sheets.
There is no reason to remain at Quickie level unless you just want to give me extra money.
You might want to drop down to Booksmart Level ($5) or Combat Wombat Level ($3) sometime this month. Booksmart Level gets you the RPG sheets, chats with me, short stories, and (eventually) game access for CCH3, whereas Combat Wo...

Since the last chat took place on a weekend, I figured it was fair to schedule the second one for a weeknight, to accommodate different people's schedules.
So get your questions ready! Booksmart Patrons and up get to take part!

The Wyvern now has his own level! He was created by a charity bidder two years ago, so I thought it was appropriate that he host this level. Plus...he had that cannon thing aimed at my head at the time.
All the details are included on the new Reward summary for this level.
If you've been impressed with the quality of the RPG sheets thus far (and I hope you have), this is the time to have your unique main character's exploits captured in all their glory!
