Yes! At long last, two pallets of gorgeous hardcovers arrived but an hour ago.
Looking them over, it's exactly what I wanted - a perfect compliment to Cha'alt. The font is slightly larger, so for those with battle-weary eyes - you're welcome!
I'm putting up some pics that'll give you an idea.
And there's one thousand of them! The first couple hundred go out to backers, the rest I'll sell out of my "Frazetta nymphs with Death Star looming in the background" van down by the river. But that won't happen until I get books out to my wonderful backers.
If you want one, but didn't back the Kickstarter, check back around Xmas for ordering details.
For those who don't know, Cha'alt: Fuchsia Malaise is the follow-up to Cha'alt. It's an eldritch, gonzo, science-fantasy, post-apocalypse campaign setting - chockfull of everything you'll need for running adventures of neo-quasi-O5R and vintage demon laser sleaze. You're welcome again!!!
Cha'alt: Fuchsia Malaise took about a year from original idea and primordial playtesting to this point.
Thanks to everyone who supported me and pitched-in to make this awesome tome. ;)
I'm putting my tentacles out there for a new layout / cartography person.
Ideally, he or she would be able to do both PDF layout and maps (but if you only do one and not the other, you may still apply). Must be flexible, easy to work with, competent, and dependable. If our professional association makes you squeamish, please move along.

The title of this blog post, "Almost Won", has a couple of meanings.
First, Trump has almost won and every American that wants a free and fair election should wait until all these shenanigans have been ironed out. Second, the Biden campaign almost won - but, unfortunately for them, many instances of voting irregularities and legit voter fraud have now been uncovered.
Below are a couple resources to get a handle on what happened and how the American people, especially President Donald Trump, are going to get justice...
Mobile audiences probably won't see this video, so here's a link here.
So, this is far from over. The Trump campaign is rightly suing various states in order to get answers for all the bizarre stuff going on.
In my opinion, the longer the supposed winner (Biden) is delayed, the better chance of the actual winner's triumph. Hopefully, the truth will come out, several people will go to prison, and Donald J. Trump will continue to do what he does best - kick ass!
Stay tuned,

p.s. This is an exhaustive list of self-described ignorant and/or deluded assholes who oppose America for Americans, in favor of corruption, critical race theory, tanking the economy, lockdowns, and punching nazis (half the populace). Personally, I won't be buying anything from these guys. I'm voting with my wallet, which should allow me to purchase more deserving RPG products in the future. :)
Apparently, conservative commentator Michael Knowles starred in the best political ad ever made.
Inexplicably, it never aired. But Michael showed it on today's youtube show. Why in the world wasn't this plastered everywhere? It's brilliant and, I hope, not prophetic...
[I forgot that mobile blogger won't show the video - it's right here. Actually, Michael just put up a direct link to the video in question here]
The pro-Trump commercial starts around 34:27. Enjoy!

p.s. The luxury Cha'alt hardcovers are almost gone, we're down to single digits, folks! Ordering details here. Include the coupon code "Vote Trump" to get $10 off the purchase price.
Also, don't forget that the follow-up, Cha'alt: Fuchsia Malaise, is the most amazing RPG product of 2020 and would make a great addition to any eldritch, gonzo, science-fantasy, or post-apocalyptic campaign setting.
Luxurious hardcovers of Cha'alt: Fuchsia Malaise will be available next month.
Enjoy,

p.s. I only have about 20 Cha'alt hardcovers left, and then the 1st printing is gone!
There's this predictive model to see who's going to win the USA presidential election on November 3rd 2020. It's from Allan Lichtman's book The Keys To The Whitehouse.
Below is a video of him going over the keys for this upcoming election. I believe his keys are right on the money... however, Allan's interpretation is wrong, wrong, wrong. Let's watch!
[Edit: this video did not show up on my mobile device. THIS IS THE LINK]
I'm fine with the following picks... Midterms, Primary Contest, Incumbent Re-Election, Third Party, Short-Term Economic Growth, Major Policy Changes, Social Unrest, Scandal (that's debatable - the biggest scandal was the Russian hoax, which exonerated Trump. The media constantly tries to throw anything they can at the wall, hoping it'll stick), Foreign/Military Failures, and Uninspiring/Uncharismatic Challenger.
But let's take a look at the following three. I believe Allan's own Democrat bias has skewed his perception, which means Trump is on target for a surefire victory!
Long-Term Economic Growth I don't think is accurate. Up until April, the American economy was booming. Obviously, the pandemic and our response to it screwed that up, but A) that's not Trump's fault and B) this is a snap-shot in time. The first three years of Trump's presidency gave us the best economy America has had in a long time.
Major Foreign/Military Success - are you kidding me? From crushing ISIS to bringing our troops home to brokering a Middle-East treaty (he was nominated multiple times for a Nobel Peace Prize for God's sake!) Trump has had more success in that arena than Bush and Obama combined (minus the killing of Bin Laden, of course).
Charismatic Incumbent... Hell yes! Sure, he brings out the Trump Derangement Syndrome in a lot of people. But Trump has proved time and time again that he's a showman with star-power. The President inspires his supporters, and will get his base out to vote. Many of us would crawl over broken glass to vote for his re-election. How many Biden supporters can say that?
Let me know in the comments if you agree, disagree, or just want to talk politics.
Hopefully, my current obsession with politics isn't bumming you out. Now that I'm waiting for Cha'alt: Fuchsia Malaise (download the PDF here) to be printed and shipped, I'm taking a little time off from gaming - and the election is less than a month away. Shortly after the election, I hope to get back to regularly scheduled posts about RPG stuff.
This blog post right here is emblematic of how bad it is out there, how disgusting, how distorted, how venomous.
If you're an inch to the right of Joe Biden, you're called a nazi, and this is acceptable on twitter, FB, and elsewhere on social media.
They'll try to gatekeep and cancel your existence in the OSR or RPG hobby/industry/community... if you let them. Personally, I'd rather stand up and fight far-left keyboard activists, SJWs, Antifa/BLM, Socialists, Communists, and even Democrats too far gone from TDS to denounce this kind of bullshit.
My friend, Aaron the pedantic, has his own blog post where he tries to lower the temperature, ease tensions, and find common ground. I support his efforts, but I cannot simply keep to myself, not get involved, and plead "neutral ground". I have a dog in this fight and it's name is FREEDOM!!!
Those who support me and others in the OSR should not be afraid. Individuality is the key to America's exceptionalism. If you have a voice, let it be heard. Otherwise, we may all be silenced.
As I mentioned here, it's important to vote in this upcoming election. Do you want to see America burned to the ground or succeed like never before? Trump is the way! Trump is the OSR!

p.s. If you're unaware, my latest work Cha'alt: Fuchsia Malaise is garnering rave reviews (even Ben Shapiro says so, go look... I'll wait) because it's fucking awesome! I encourage you to see for yourself.
As a battle-tested creator and champion of the Old School Renaissance, I'd like to speak on its behalf.
I, Venger Satanis, am officially endorsing President Donald J. Trump. I know that I do not speak for everyone in the OSR, but someone has to take a stand against radical leftists determined to destroy the USA.
Especially under the present circumstances (Trump and Melania's positive covid-19 test), I will say the OSR fully endorses President Trump.
Thank you for all you have done for our great nation, Mr. President!
