Originally Born in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Joe is a freelance game designer whose credits include Goalsystem titles as well as Blue Moon Manufacturing's Galactic War 1.
Joe is currently living Cardiff, UK and has gathered an international team to work on his next project, The Department.
Will there be a list for game testing?
Froday? is that a new day in honor of Frodo you created :) cant wait for the updates ( in your updates you designed a new day )
congratz - cant wait for the product
damn Mars
now to Mras :)
I'm well past the moon, Rob. Considering where we were a week ago, i'm absolutly amazed at what has happened.
Looks like you are over the moon now. $5041 with 17 hours to go.
Not a problem Paul.
Is there any chance we could get two electronic copies? In a perfect world I have PDF and ePub format. PDF to read on a computer and possibly print. Epub for my iPad, of course..
The game looks great. It will bring back memories of my volunteer days.
I'm delighted that it didn't miss its target by a squeak, too.....................

I am pleasantly surprised that this project has secured a the number of pledges that it has, and particularly the spike in interest over the last week or so. It seems to me that a number of people didn't want it not to happen.
And a few people just have faith in Joe!
I'd be over the moon if we made it to $5000. I think $4,500 is reasonable goal in the time we have left.
Glad to be wrong, can we hit 5k?
Lee
GRats~!
Looking good all, my guess is end will be about 4200
Lee
Fantastic New!!!!
WooHoo!!! Way to go everybody! :)
You're a prophet Tom!
Prediction: The Department will be fully funded by the end of today (EST). Good thing too, we wouldn't want any layoffs with all those crummy Fabricants running around ;)
Lets not count our chickens yet, but it is looking promising.
Looks like we are going to get there!
You and me both Stephen. :)
I think we can make it though. We have a little under three days and we're getting there pretty rapidly. The flood of $150 pledges has helped a whole lot.
In terms of miniatures, I have approached a few manufacturers but I think they are holding off to see if the projects get funded or not. Once we are a go, I think we'll get more interest from mini manufacturers.
I think we are going to mark the kickstarter PDFs somehow, maybe with some extra content or a graphic of some sort.
However to answer your original question, I will sign near anything, but you'd have to ship it Cardiff. :)
I will be more than a tad miffed if this doesn't hit the target - as there are precious games out there now that actually catch my eye.
Joseph do you have a range of minis in mind for this game - Hasslefree or Heresy?
Looking forward to getting the pdf - you will sign my ipad for me, Joe? Right?
I sent you an email requesting a beat tester status as well :)
how come an englishman is able to go to kickstarter? Could a german guy do this as well?
I'll put one together tonight, Lee.
Are you in the US or the UK? do you want A4 or 8.5" x 11" ?
Will be hitting a small Con this week, if you have a PDF with all the info and links on it, I can print some and pass them out.
Lee
You're living the dream man. If I can't do it, I can least do everything I can to help you do it.
@ Lee: We will definitly need beta testers once the kickstarter drive is over. If you send me a private message with your email address, I will put you on the playtester list.
The same goes for anyone interested in playtesting. Just drop me a line.
Indeed Tom this is very exciting! Many thanks to Steve for his generous pledge. That's just the shot in the arm we need to get this project funded.
Very excited to see some major backing coming through! I'll keep spreading the word.
Need any Beta Testers?
Would like to help, met my wife of now 19 years over Cyberpunk 2020.
Read play through upped pledge to 30
Good luck

Good luck with this venture Joe. Although I am not an active tabletop gamer, the world and story of this game appeal to me, and I am eager to see the finished product.
Really looking forward to playing this game. I thought it looked cool before, but after reading the play session I am floored by the possibilities of a game like this. The addition of Evidence Points, an Investigation Budget and Internal Affair Points have taken the ever solid Goal System miniature game mechanics and turned it into a true RPG experience.
Hope to see many more people support this project otherwise I'm going to have to up my backing to help reach the goal :)
Good Luck!
I look forward to it coming out. Best of luck. Looks interesting with a Galactica/Blade Runner style to it.
