Magical Diary: Wolf Hall Crowdfunding Campaign

Posted by Rampant Coyote on January 28, 2019

Man, I kinda miss the days when game devs would make a game, and THEN people would buy it. Of course, that requires people, you know, BUYING games. We’re getting to the point where crowdfunding is often as much of a marketing and sales tool as a funding tool. But hey, that’s indie… you gotta […]

Blood Creek Witches, Queens of Shadows, and Dieselpunk Strategy for PI Day

Posted by Rampant Coyote on March 14, 2018

Okay, so today is “PI day” (3/14), which coincides with some neat things I’ll be doing today. BUT… here are some neat things for you. First of all, I guess I’m not supposed to dilute my message. In case you missed the last couple of blog posts – my novel, Blood Creek Witch, is out […]

StoryHack – Free Issue and Kickstarter Reminder

Posted by Rampant Coyote on May 22, 2017

Have you read Issue 0 of StoryHack yet? If not, be sure and grab it while it’s free! It includes my story, “Dead Last” (which appears… dead last… of course). Actually, let me know what you think of the story. I’d like to do more with this character and this world of sorcery-meets-espionage. Get StoryHack […]

Final Hours for Cirsova Pre-Orders, Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Campaign

Posted by Rampant Coyote on February 22, 2017

Now’s your chance. Two volumes of pulp-style heroic fantasy, available cheap. Ridiculously cheap if you are going for the purely digital versions. And yeah, the editor has said that with the goal passed, he’s really interested more in expanding readership. So… while I’m going for paper copies myself, enjoy the digital! Many of the stories in […]

Star Citizen: Squadron 42 Delayed “Indefinitely”

Posted by Rampant Coyote on October 11, 2016

So this happened… (it looks like they changed the title since yesterday, because “indefinitely” is such a crude term… “until some future undefined date” is exactly the same thing but sounds less like “never.”) Forbes: Star Citizen’s ‘Squadron 42‘ Single Player Campaign Delayed Until Some Future Undefined Date I wish I could say I’m surprised.

More Crowdfunding Projects: Wasteland 3 and Magellan

Posted by Rampant Coyote on October 7, 2016

Okay – as always, I have no control over these, your own risk, etc.   All I can say is both of these groups have solid track records. First of all: InXile is crowdfunding Wasteland 3. Besides being a choice-heavy, story-heavy post-apocalyptic turn-based roleplaying game like its predecessor, the next one promises multiplayer and a […]

Multiplayer Mythica VR RPG?

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 24, 2016

I’m a fan of the Mythica films. I’m a fan of VR. I’m a fan of role-playing games, especially something like Neverwinter Nights where a game-master can build and exert control over the game as it progresses. The folks at Arrowstorm feel the same. So they’ve launched this project: Mythica VR: Virtual Reality Questing with […]

Mythica and Cirsova – Successful Crowdfunding Campaigns Winding Down

Posted by Rampant Coyote on June 23, 2016

I’d posted when these launched, but I thought I’d post a reminder. These aren’t mine… I’m at best peripherally involved. Anyway – first up, the final (?) Mythica movie in the series … Mythica 5: The Godslayer. If you haven’t seen any of the films yet and are a fantasy buff… give the first one a […]
