headbands are finally done!
while i have your attention, i need a small favor from you readers:
our current
FAQ refers to our old version of the game. i want to update it, but it's hard to think up questions to ask yourself for an FAQ. help me out here by suggesting FAQ questions in the comments, or email me at paranoialarp (at) gmail (dot) com.
tomorrow, maybe troubleshooter character packs get done.
just here to tantalize you loyal viewers with a shot of the inside of the internal security badge and guide book.
intsec agents start with just the guide, and have to earn their badge and "star" ratings. this is what a major in sector CON's internal security looks like.
and would you look at all those weapons! pew pew pew!
headbands will be done soon, hopefully. finally got the art printed onto the transfer paper. i'd like to build the character packs tomorrow. hmm, i wonder what those "rules lawyer" headbands might mean... it's as though we've completely re-tooled and improved the game...
got the credits, mutant powers and combat drugs, CLUE cards, and internal security badge folios printed and processed today. i feel like i never want to see the inside of a copy shop again, but i still have more copies to make later in the week. apparently fancy new copy machines lack basic, clear functionality like "contrast" and "brightness." who knew. in their place arrive super helpful features, like randomly deciding i should be printing on 11"x17" paper, or that everything should be "centered," except that just means that the image is wherever mr. copier decides to put it.
well, at least i got some stuff done. tomorrow i'll get to the headbands i hope.
pretty neat stuff, right? i bet some of you are super curious about those intsec badge folios i mentioned earlier. shiny, shiny badges...
quick update, re: panels, etc.
hey folks, just here to drop a quick update. we're running lots of panels this year, and i've got the times and rooms!
also--side note here--apparently blogger is dropping ftp support for old style blogger pages. sadly, that means us. that's why there haven't been too many updates lately. we're still trying to figure out what to do. so hey, if you design web pages (and are willing to work for free!) we might need your help. email paranoialarp (at) gmail (dot) com. someday we'll have a nice website, *sniff* *sniff*
on to the panels!
