A great many ships move through the Auric Range, trade flowing up through the Sierra Madre Line and out through the Santanna Blinkgate. Thus, an increased presence of Trunk Security and its subfirms. Of these subfirms the Boudreaux & Thibodeaux Concern handles design and production for mechanized chassis in what are termed “High-Threat Corporate Entanglements”.  This is all preamble of course, to introduce what many in the Range consider IPS-N’s finest security force multiplier- The Bonney.  The Bonney is what IPS-N terms a “High Kinetic Fire Support Platform” created by the hyperkinesis module integrated into the “nervous system” of the mech’s frame and the pilot’s spinal uplink. Doses of the synthetic nano-adrenaline released in microbursts throughout combat allow both mech and pilot to move faster and shoot better than anyone else on the battlefield. And to the mercenary forces of Ladon’s Corpse and Furthest West there simply isn’t better than an experienced Bonney pilot to turn any mission around.

Bonney, within the Auric Range, is seen as a veteran’s frame. This is not to say that IPS-N, through B&TC, will not sell the mech to any hotshot who comes through Santanna with Manna to burn (and in the Range, those men outnumber the veterans), they absolutely will. But the popular public consensus of the Bonney is derived from the screamsheets and newspicts that flow back to the Sisters from the dozens of conflict zones that decorate the Range- media that depicts the Bonney and her pilots as hard bitten mercenaries with the strange affect of someone used to a life that starts and stops on command. The critics say this is a side-effect of long-term “Chronos” exposure. The pilots say that’s just what it takes to survive beyond the grasp of the Sisters.

Okay so this is a less fun update but we're currently cracking down on some balance changes (specifically regarding the Morgiana revolver) and some lore writing. Lilah's unfortunately been kinda busy with work and I've been busy with commissions but we ARE working on it!

Another Damn Grimm & Sons Update! This is our last big one before we start cracking down on...

Well...

Look forward to it!

The Midway is the logical extension of IPS-N’s purchase and conversion of Atropos from pastoral world to military-industrial nightmare. Developed to be used by “Protection Officers” and “Stabilization Delegates” of the IPS-N Admiralty PeaceCorp (the civilian equivalent of the Marine Police) in anti-riot and anti-rebellion actions in the megasprawls of Atropos. “What policing would require a mech?” a sane man asks. There is no policing that requires mechanized support- this is a tool of oppression, wrought by greedy hands and unleashed upon a populace who strive to escape it.

The Midway has only seen large usage in the Auric Range, as the local Admiralty steps up its attempts to contain and control the ever riotous population of Atropos and the colonial holdings in Ladon’s Corpse. DoJ/HR has nominally signed off on the design of the Midway, but not its usage, and hounds IPS-N for every deployment.

Occasionally in Atropos, one finds a Midway that has been brought down by the populace, stripped of corporate branding and reworked into a neighborhood protector, standing firm against incursions by Protection Officers and allowing for some respite from the megasprawl nightmare of the Fortress World that has made the mech infamous.

Funding!

For now, the patreon mostly funds Moid (as digital art and graphic design is their main source of income) but they are eventually planning on retooling it to fund both themself AND Lilah.

If you want to support Grimm and Sons, Auric Range and the eventual layout work/art for Lilah's other games, feel free to support them!

WHAT IS DEADRABBIT?

Good question, I'm glad you asked! DEADRABBIT is what @nightmareworks and @moiderahart call their team-up.

T is an illustrator and cartoonist. They're responsible for the look and layout of the upcoming DEADRABBIT catalogue, including Grimm and Sons and Auric Range.

That would be...

Delilah is a writer and game designer. She's the one who does the writing and designing for these games! She's also written and designed DRAGONSMOKE, What Comes Tomorrow, and, well, Grimm And Sons and Auric Range.

THIS BLOG is where we'll be posting the majority of our updates surrounding GnS and Auric Range!
