Room Party-- It's Official!
The Room Party Game is now awesomely official, which is great, since according to people who have now played the real thing, it's already officially awesome!
What the hell am I even talking about?? Well, it's a card game about convention Room Parties. You build the best, and sabotage the rest!
More info and all that:
We developed the game seven years ago, and just last year with the help of a good friend, brought the project to KickStarter where it was funded (and then some!)
The Core Deck features 160 cards, each with custom artwork done by Mandi Tremblay.
The FurCon Expansion Deck has 55 fur-related cards, with artwork by myself!
(Check out a couple cards from the FurCon deck: Popufur and Ruining the Magic)
There will be a VERY limited number of decks for sale at FurtherConfusion this weekend!
(KickStarter backers, your decks are hitting the postbox next month!)
You can find the Room Party game on my table, right next to Sofawolf Press! Come check it out and play a demo!
If you can't get to FurtherConfusion or you miss out on the limited number we'll have for sale there, fear not! The official online sales of the game will start in February (pre-orders in late January). We will do our best to make sure you don't miss out.
Into the New Year
In the (near) future:
2014 does have an auspicious beginning--New Years with good friends, followed almost immediately by flying to Melbourne, Australia for ConFurgence. I am incredibly honored, and excited (and still a little humbly baffled) they've invited me out as a guest! :]
(Twenty minutes after arrival, you will likely find me with a James Squire in each hand and on high-spider-alert.)
After my short stint down under--you'll find me at FurtherConfusion, San Jose, in the Dealer's Room, with stuff in the art show, yadda yadda, et cetera, et cetera.
In the present:
Room Party Game:
The project turned into something wholly more awesome than expected. There will be more news in the next couple of weeks on that.
You can, of course, stay tuned to the website or Twitter for info and updates!
In the (recent) past:
Some other stuff, namely Nordguard, is on hiatus for the moment. Life, responsibilities, bad luck, injury, poisonous snakes, vampires, miniature ponies with tiny hats...some of that sprang up and bit me and I need a little mental repair. It's a pretty overwhelming project on it's own, and when paired with an overwhelming year, it becomes the Everest of ambition. Needless to say, there's some base-camp acclimating to do, oxygen tanks to order, Sherpas to bribe, and maybe some miniature ponies with tiny hats to find.
Cheers,

Four Cons, Four Weeks
* AnthroCon was especially great this year. We had a lot to celebrate that particular weekend, and being there over the 4th of July and the fireworks was just the icing on the cake.
* ComicCon International was giant, incredible, and overwhelming, as always. Juanjo Guarnido (illustrator of Blacksad) had some rad compliments for Nordguard: Across Thin Ice, so that alone made my whole convention. :]
This weekend, I'll actually be in two places at once. One half is in Baltimore for a gigantic tiny-horse convention (table 201 if you want to swing by to say hi and check out pony-related-paraphernalia!)
The other half will be closer to the home front, at Denver's Rocky Mountain Fur Con! Stop on by the dealer's den if you're keen to check out prints ranging from $5 and up, Scratches CDs, limited edition signed/numbered prints, a couple originals, Nordguard patches, and so on!
Sofawolf Press will also be at RMFC, with copies of Nordguard, the Nordguard Card Game, Dog's Days of Summer, and a whole lot more of their catalog!
(And hey, if you haven't checked it out--go on and look at our Room Party KickStarter! We're getting close to the FurCon Expansion stretch goal!)
Funded, Furry Con Expansion
Hey guys!
This weekend, we've been at ComicCon International in San Diego, both demoing the Room Party Game and doing our usual job of helping out at the Sofawolf Press booth, #1236. We've taken it into the game room where CCI staff enjoyed it enough to offer a dedicated table. Room Party has met with positive and very enthusiastic reactions, and we're all really excited to see it get off the ground.
So, suffice to say--you're all amazing! The core funding for the Room Party Game was made yesterday, just a few days from starting the KickStarter. What does that mean? Well, it means we can start pushing to meet a couple awesome Stretch Goals!
We've updated the KickStarter page to reflect a few of the announced Stretch Goals, so check 'em out here!
The stretch goal I am most excited about is the Furry Con expansion! If we reach the stretch goal, everyone who's donated at least enough to get a deck will ALSO get the 60 card expansion pack as a bonus! That's a really sweet deal!
Also, if the game makes the stretch goal, I will be doing the artwork for the Furry Con expansion! I'm actually really looking forward to it, so I'll be keeping my fingers crossed!
If you haven't had the chance already, check out the game, here!
Thanks for just looking or spreading the word, and a whole lot of thanks (and awesome schawg) for funding!
