Hi Duane and Terence. Thanks for checking. the short version is that I've nearly finished editing and am starting to work on layout. I anticipate finalizing the electronic file by the end of the month, with physical books shipping in May. I will post a longer update tonight with conceptual designs for some of the book covers.
Still on track for April?
any recent updates?
Fiona: Gabriel Garcia Marquez’ The Autumn of the Patriarch (and his short story ‘Bon Voyage, Mr. President’), Miguel Angel Asturias’ El senor Presidente, Augusto Roa Basto’s I the Supreme, Alejo Carpentier’s Reasons of State, Tomas Eloy Martinez’s The Peron Novel, and Mario Vargas Liosa’s The Feast of the Goat are the main dictator novels that inspired me. I also read some non fiction books about dictators and of course the news this year has been full of relevant items.
What books inspired you? :)
Thanks Terence.
Abi, Thanks. I will keep your invite in mind for the next time I'm in pdx
Intriguing! If you're ever in the Portland (Oregon) area, my husband and I run a gaming group and we'd be delighted to have you as a guest.
Congrats on hitting the goal!
thanks Andrew. looks like it's a go!
This is an amazing project. I've taken the liberty of telling a few folk who might be interested.
Terence, for $25 you get the nine games in one softcover volume; for $36, the nine games as nine separate softcover booklets.
I want to make sure that I understand correctly: The $30 level has all 9 games in 1 book, while the $36 level has all 9 games in 9 seperate books? Also thank you for $6 shipping to Canada (lurking Canadians who haven't pledged yet, that's an incentive!).
jonathan, thanks. I also like how the angry dude at the desk is 'president of recording industry'
In case you need a head-bopping song about tyrants to rock out to while you finish up your games, the track "Club 7" by UK hip-hop group Roll Deep opens with: "I don't give a XXXX and I mean / I'm bad like Idi Amin... / if you're an enemy / tryin' to get ahead of me / trust me, you won't like my regime." I was totally stunned when I first heard it.
Thanks Junius! I hope it's funded so I can get it to you & others.
This game sounds absolutely FACINATING. Can't wait to try it.
