The
Hydra Cooperative is about to make another big ole leap forward in
coming weeks. Next Monday, October 10th
the Kickstarter for the one of my favorite (and way too
self-deprecating) creators in this little scene, Jason Sholtis, is
bolting out the gate.
And
yeah, yeah I know, like you, I have seen a thousand crowdfunding
ships launched--many of them floundering still out there years later.
But not only is the extended-dance remix version of Operation Unfathomable in
excellent shape going in (the main manuscript pretty damn clean, a
host of illustrations completed and even the stretch goal material
written and edited), it is also has a damn funny, pitch perfect
Harryhausen-esque stop animation video
that even if you don't pledge you should check out.

And Now the News from the Hill
Cantons...
The Velveteen Group, operators
of Marlinko's seedy-chic Black Pomegranate bathhouse were reportedly
“going to bring a war without peril [sic] to the streets of the
city” over the opening of an unlicensed, yet contrada-sanctioned
new "grooming facility” in the Sullen Apriarian quarter by an
obscure guild with origins in the Marches of Nur. Said group
spokesman Pan Otkar “This so-called 'facility' with its lack of
hands-on experience year in year out, poises a public health disaster
to our city body. Traditional Marlinko bathhouses have delivered for
centuries on the promise that any on-site pleasures will be mixed
with the proper atmosphere of jaded weariness and sullen
indifference.”
Floor plans for the new not-bathhouse
can be seen here.
The Beneficial Society of Scavelmen
and Engineers, Social has reportedly been testing campaign
slogans for the Steeplejackers party claim to the Overkingdom throne
on forcibly-detained groups of debt peons, glitter-slyphs and law
students. Sources say that the focus groups have zeroed in on the
catchy, yet opaque slogan of “Superlative Souls are Deplorable”
as the party's new war cry. Fortunately with the electorate set at
only 27 souls -- all of which already have their horses in the race –
the slogan is nuncupatory.
The self-styled Son of Mulmak,
proponent of the heretical theory of pan-dungeonism and best-selling
author of A Brief Relation of the World-Dungeon Unitary, As it Was
Delivered to the Folk of Marlinko is gathering together a field
work expedition for the faux-meadhall haunts of the Mountain Hall of
the Hyperboreans with the explicit goal of “proving that a
subterranean spiderweb of
byzantine tunnels and
treasure-house sub-basements connects all to All.” Undoubtedly the
all-loving Sun Lord will strike him down and all who follow him in
his hubris.
