Hey folks,

the pre-launch KS page of OUTER RIM: UPRISING is live! ORU is a bundle for the sci-fi survival horror RPG Mothership. The bundle is packed with 15+ 100% original entries from seasoned indie Mothership designers. All items are 1 Edition (which means the new one!) compatible. Below is some info on the bundle and pics of some entries.

OrU builds a huge setting, at the fringes of the galaxy, where corrupt corps fight rebel factions. Each item of the bundle can be used independently, but the items are also tied together by a common implied setting, sharing NPCs, story lines etc. A Campaign Handbook acts as the connective tissue of the bundle: adding factions, procedures, locations etc.

Half of the bundle items are written in a system neutral way, and can be used with any RPG.

We've just ignited the pre-launch page here https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thelostbay/outer-rim-uprising, if you dig the project give it a follow, as indie publishers it means a hell of lot to receive the community support.

About this, if you are a blogger, streamer, podcaster and want to talk about this, see drafts or organize an actual play please reach out we'd be happy to help.

Below are some details on a couple of entries, they are sick!

The Hunger in Achernar, zine by D. Kenny (designer of Nirvana on fire)

BLINK, zine by David Blandy (designer of Eco MOFOS!)

Rusted to the Core, zine by Chris Airiau

Surviving Machine parts, zine by Zach Hazard Vaupen

Zach Hazard Vaupen joined me to talk about his new book from Retrofit, Combed Clap of Thunder. Zach’s other work includes Pearlescent Gray posted on Study Group. I really enjoyed Zach’s book. He’s come into his own with these 2 most recent works. He’s got a great style at evoking horror and near future existentialism.

Retrofit Comics Spring 2017: 6 new graphic novels & comics - 6 new graphic novels & comics by Zach Hazard Vaupen, Laura Ķeniņš, Tara Booth, Yuichi Yokoyama, Warren Craghead III and Will Cardini! - http://kck.st/2ov8pxi

----------

We are about $1,500 away from having the project fully funded. If you have been waiting to help, this is the time!

If you like and value the Trump drawings I've been posting at http://trumptrump.biz , please consider pre-ordering this print collection of the first six months of the daily drawings - 192 pages in a hardbound book. My Retrofit Comics​ / Big Planet Comics​ 2017 comrades are all making great work too - this is a wonderfully curated group of books.

This is also my first big book with a publisher... It's funny, for two decades I've been making quiet, odd poetic work but over the past few years ideas of politics and social justice have creeped in alongside that work. Then late last summer it all came together when Trump got nominated and I used all those hours (days? weeks?) of drawing experience to draw him over and over, worse and worse.

I thought I'd be done in November! When he won I swore to keep drawing him and the work has gotten more complex, more pointed and more angry. I feel lucky I have somewhere to stab when I get mad about all the horrible things he is doing and is letting be done.

So if you have been looking and seeing the work - thanks! And please consider supporting this project to publish a collection of the drawings. It's like a pre-order of the book and it really helps small publishers to get good work out into the world. If you want you can give more and I'll send you an original Trump drawing, or draw YOU with Trump! A generous friend has taken that offer and I'll be drawing her, in her weightlifting glory, crushing our Dear Leader.  

Thanks to everyone who has been watching and looking. I'm also grateful to Box and Jared for offering to publish this book. I think we are all hoping it will be something that gives some tiny comfort as we all try to survive this time. THANKS!

Bookshelf Overload: June 2017

After the ridiculousness of May’s Bookshelf Overload, the number of manga, comics, and other books that I picked up in June seems completely reasonable. But even though it was a small month, it was still a great month. First of all, one of the manga I was most looking forward to this year was released–Kabi Nagata’s My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness. (Although the work is more than deserving of it, I won’t be doing a formal, in-depth review, but I did write a Quick Take of it a few weeks ago.) I was also particularly excited for the debut of Satoru Noda’s Golden Kamuy and the continuation of Makoto Yukimura’s Vinland Saga in June. Hirohiko Araki’s Manga in Theory and Practice: The Craft of Creating Manga should also present an interesting read once I finally get the chance to get around to it. Currently, though, I’m reading Kazuki Sakuraba’s novel A Small Charred Face. It isn’t due to be released until September, but the folks at Haikasoru were kind enough to send me an advanced copy. I really enjoyed Sakuraba’s Red Girls: The Legend of the Akakuchibas and have been looking forward to the translation of A Small Charred Face for quite some time. So far, it’s been fantastic; look for a review to come soon!

Manga! After Hours, Volume 1 by Yuhta Nishio Dorohedoro, Volume 21 by Q Hayashida Erased, Omnibus 2 by Kei Sanbe Golden Kamuy, Volume 1 by Satoru Noda Goodnight Punpun, Omnibus 6 by Inio Asano Liselotte & Witch’s Forest, Volumes 1-3 by Natsuki Takaya My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness by Kabi Nagata Pet Shop of Horrors, Volume 9 by Matsuri Akino Prison School, Omnibus 7 by Akira Hiramoto The Royal Tutor, Volume 1 by Higasa Akai Sweetness and Lightning, Volume 5 by Gido Amagakure Ten Count, Volume 4 by Rihito Takarai Vagabond, Omnibuses 10-12 by Takehiko Inoue Vinland Saga, Omnibus 9 by Makoto Yukimura The Water Dragon’s Bride, Volume 1 by Rei Toma
