A Glimps of Things to Come

Just a quick update, here are a few previews for the official Department 15mm figure line from Effigy Miniatures. Tom did a bang up job on this first wave of figures, which will be abvailable as soon as they get back form the caster.

I'm really pelased with how these turned out. They will be ideal for The Department and really fill the need for 15mm humanoid robots.

Also, for those of you attending Salute. Any pruchase at our stand will come with a 15% off voucher for this range of figures when they are released.

A little Teaser for You

Been real quiet here for a while because there has been very little gaming going on. I have been doing a lot of gaming work though, which I want to show you. Here is some artwork for The Department. It was drawn by Dave Powell and painted by me.

We Made it Everyone!

I have to say that I feel like George Bailey right now. The Kickstarter Drive has come back from the grave in a big way. We've shot past our goal with just a few days to go. May thanks to all of my friends and the gamers worldwide that have helped to make this project a reality.

Now the hard part starts, actually producing the game. In the next six months, we're going to forge this pile of rules and concept sketches into a great product.

Now that teh funding drive is over, we should get back the regularly scheduled programing on this blog. Scott just handed me the finished manuscript for Blasters and Bulkheads, so I'll be beginning the layout now. Stayed tuned from previews for that game. I've just bought a drawing tablet for my PC and I've done some new art that hopefully will make it in the finished book.

Some New Art.

Hi guys, just wanted to post some new promo art for The Deaprtment by the very talented Cole Jefferies.

Make sure to check out the Kickstarter as well.

Like us!

I'd like to announce The Department Facebook contest. All you have to do is like our Facebook page. That's It! We'll select one person to receive a free signed print edition of the game. Three other lucky people will receive a free PDF, or, Ebook version of the game.

Note: This contest is null and void if the Kickstarter pitch is unsuccessful, as the game will not be produced.

The Department, Its live folks

It's been another period of inactivity here at the blog, but not without good reason. I've been moving ahead on the artwork for Blaster and Bulkheads, but over the last few months I've also been working on my baby.

I'd like to present to you, my loyal readers, the Kickstarter page for a game I've been wanting to make for a long time.

I won't rehash the pitch text here, since you can read it on the Kickstarter page, but suffice to say we're breaking new ground in skirmish wargaming. Building on the solid Goalsystem, we plan on releasing a full color 150 page book that lets you fight rogue robots in 2060s America.

While the rewards we have on the Kickstarter page are great, I'd like to extend an offer exclusive to my blog readers. The first ten people who make a donation to the kickstarter at $10 or more will also receive a small print of the above artwork signed by me as a thank you for being one of the first Kickstarter backers. I'll send this out next week(provided there are enogh donations), so you'll have your print right away to help spread the word about The Department. Just send me a message through Kickstarter to claim you bonus reward. Make sure to mention that you heard about it on the blog.

Even if you don't want to donate, I would greatly appreciate making a post about the game on any forums or your blog. The more people know about the project, the more chance we have of making this project a success.
