Calling all Degenerates!  This is not a drill!  The Wasteland Degenerates: Jumper Cable Edition is going live at 10 AM Central US time *looks at watch* TODAY, I guess!

I'm very sorry for the late update... we've had a range of computer problems and significant family events, but we're squeaking in just under the wire!

Anyway, first thing's first, we have a new cover for the zine:


After long discussion with Matthew, I decided to up the page count of the zine from 48 to 64 (the same size as Heretic and Feretory, for you Mörk-savvy folks).  This will allow us to include not only the character creation, but also Wasteland Degenerates's signature road combat rules.  To go with this, I've added a vehicle combat grid to the add-ons.

I wanted to write more, but frankly I'm beat!  See you on the other side!

Hey folks!

Things have been moving, and not always in favorable ways!  In true 'Borg fashion, I'm discovering that adventure, and the adventure of crowdfunding in particular, isn't just free money, fame, and friendly goblins singing "All Hail the King!"  Sometimes you have to eat a little humility.


The truth is, you folks have been very patient with me as I navigate these unknown waters, and I want to make sure that I'm honest with you.  Most people who do projects this ambitious have multiple prior successful campaigns under their belts, and most campaigns fail, for that matter.  You can't just have a good idea and automatically get backing; you need to build up trust over time... or have a really good publicity engine.

But you don't care about all that.  You want to know what this means for you.  Well, Wasteland Degenerates is still coming.  You just might have to wait for a fancy hardcover book that will sit on the shelf next to Cy_Borg, Mork Borg, and Vast Grimm.  Instead we will be doing the campaign for...

What it won't have:

All that will have to wait for the full book or a "GM Guide."  In the meantime I guess you'll just have to use Cy_Borg or Mork Borg or whatever 'Borg you prefer.  Tragedy!  

I expect the new price of the book will be USD $15, with potential add-ons for character sheet pads (~$6) and physical copies of Enter the Dismal Armory ($3), a stand-alone solo adventure I previously released on itch.io.

And yes, if the extremely improbable happens and we're very, very successful, I may be able to do the full book after the campaign.  Don't get your hopes up; this is a marathon, not a deathrace.
