Have you ever seen a cover that hideous? Yeah, it's intentionally awful... I think. Maybe unconsciously loathsome or parenthetically obscene?
It's like artwork for an early 90s unlicensed video game tie-in with a badly remembered toy line that jumped the cyber-shark a long, long time ago... or what Toma diarrhea looks like on Cha'alt. Or title sequence for You Can't Fuck That On Television. Lol

Hopefully it kicks ass! I think there's enough awesome stuff in there to make it worthwhile. It's 111 pages (the interior looks beautiful, BTW) with an introductory mini-adventure at the back and d100 random table specifically designed for both those attending and not able to attend VENGER CON in Madison, WI during the month of July (the only month in Wisconsin that we're guaranteed warm weather... by law).
The Kickstarter went well, and backers have theirs. For those curious, I did have to let DriveThru vet the manuscript before uploading it. I was surprised that nothing needed to be altered or removed. I did self-censor one paragraph that was disjoined and more of a political rant than anything else before it ever got to DriveThru. So, yeah... perhaps I've mellowed in my old age?
It's only $10. You be the judge...
While I've got you here, I plan on launching a Kickstarter to pay for the Cha'alt webcomic I've been doing with Jae Tanaka around May 1st. And if there's money left over, it will go towards the Cha'alt zine subsidy and perhaps multiple webcomics (you'll have to wait for the KS to read more about that).
One of these days, there's going to be a Cha'alt movie... or at the very least, an off-off-Broadway play of horny cat-people with tentacles scrounging for weird-tech in the desert wasteland of S'kbah.

p.s. Hell yes, I have gorgeous Cha'alt trilogy hardcovers. Step right up, hoss!
This is a real comment / discussion someone left on the DriveThruRPG product page...
ReplyDelete"Ugh I start to read this book and 7 pages in the author is complaining about feminism and the "off-the-charts" level of misandry in our culture. I guess people can think whatever they want to think but the axe-grinding has nothing to do with the article its attached to, and nothing to do with GMing like any sort of boss."
Lol
Seems like a reason to buy it, thanks hoss!
DeleteYou have to read that and hear, "🎵Looks like we MADE iiiit.." in your head. To be loathed by the loathsome is to be loved. Maybe they'll buy up some Cha'alt hardcovers for their next bookburning rally..
ReplyDeleteYou never know...
DeleteIs there a timeline for PoD version? I'd like to put it on the shelf next to its predecessor.
ReplyDeleteGood question! As of right now, I want to include this at the end of Cha'alt book 4 (coming next summer at VENGER CON). If that changes, I'll consider pod and make an announcement.
DeleteA Cha'alt movie huh? 🤔 Id watch that!
ReplyDeleteYou know I keep wishing someone will do something on par with the Heavy Metal movie but with modern animation.
And while on the subject, how bout a sci-fi epic on par with the original Star Wars trilogy?
Maybe a Cha'alt movie could be both lol!
It may be too much to ask, but I will keep on dreaming 😎
Keep dreaming, keep believing, hoss! Cha'alt could be the next Heavy Metal movie... 2031? Let's get that trending on Twitter!
DeleteBeing a vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, but how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity some of these wealthy people you know are vampires, even a few of your celebrities. This world is being controlled by people like this who have the power to do whatsoever they want, power to convince,power to command,power to be wherever they want to be and to achieve whatever they want. These rich and powerful people have their secrets and they will never let you know. I have wanted to be like them , have powers , get rich and after so long I found one email online from one of the vampire pages in 2016 and I sent them a message,they replied and told me what to do and this is how I achieved my goal of becoming one of them. trust me i have tested life from both sides and i will tell you that vampire life is a top life, seeing yourself as a king because what you I want you to get it. You can also become one if you wish and put an end to your low life, Contact them on josedaylight6@gmail.com
