    The MUNGO is a helmet that allows the wearer to wirelessly transmit one thought to the cerebral cortex of any one visible target. This thought manifests to the target as a sudden flash of inspiration that may be significantly less Brilliant or significantly more Terrible than it actually is. Charging the MUNGO requires that the wearer open himself up to receive one stray thought from another mind, which will manifest as a Brilliant or Terrible idea. (possibly more or less Brilliant or Terrible than it really is.) This equipment was originally developed by Tarmac's Interplanetary Ad Agency and Hair Accessories. They were going to use it to promote Ben's Big Brew, but in the field tests too many people blew themselves up. It's not telepathy, it's Science, bitches!

    Sorry the lack of updates here. I am slowly working my way through the backer packages, but have been hindered by some personal issues. I will post a better update when I have one.

    Portraits Are Up For Download - finally.

    Benevolent and Patient Backers,

    Earlier this evening, I put the portraits up for download at a public Dropbox link.


    http://bit.ly/lkw1M2

    I'm also hosting them on my own site :

    http://bit.ly/iBd8Lq

    I'll probably push them up to DTRPG, and I'm aiming to get them into the wiki commons as well, but that may take some time.

    The download includes full sized portraits with embedded license info, a license txt file, a readme that briefly describes the project, and a quick set of thumbnails including a 1994-style crude thumbnail gallery.  Feel free to share, mirror, re-host, etc.

    I'd like to apologize to everyone for the delay in getting these out.  I've had a number of things come up on my end, and I let some of those things get in the way of getting closure on this project.  That didn't serve anyone well, least of all me, and you all deserved better than that.  This isn't to say that we've hit closure - next up are the backer packages.  These will go out by the end of the month. 

    In the meanwhile, enjoy.  And again - thank you for your patience.
