Nothing says ‘Fuck you’ like money!

So, I’m sure you’ve heard by now that a bunch of concern trolls have managed to get a previously approved and rather innocent ‘Tentacle Rape’ card game Kickstarter pulled.

This is censorious bullshit and I intend to talk a lot more on this subject. There’s a critical mass of puritan bullshit and self-hating flagellation going on and I’ve had enough of it.

Still, I find the best way to say ‘Fuck you’ to censorship is to vote positively, rather than negatively, with your wallet.

Soda Pop have worked out another way to fund their product drive on their own site and as for myself, I’ve doubled what I had pledged before.

I suggest you do the same.

For my part, solidarity Soda Pop, you’re going through an (oddly) more vociferous version of the beasting I got over Hentacle and Cthentacle.

If you want to show that there are more open-minded, libertine, anti-censorship people out there who can tell the difference between reality and fantasy, you can pledge HERE

In fact, you know what? I’m going to pledge more money to them based on Hentacle and Cthentacle sales for the rest of the month too. Think of it as monetarily flipping the bird with BOTH hands.

Tentacles? I’m Getting Deja Vu

So… THIS popped up on my stream today.

I was, shall we say, nonplussed.

I was also nonplussed, but not surprised, to see the RAAAAAGE going on HERE and HERE about it.

From what I can see this game is really, tame as anything. There’s no graphic depictions here, it’s pretty much suggestive and there’s certainly no ‘Carrots’ cards amongst this lot, and yet RAGE.

Personally? Well, I suppose I’m a little upset that someone else is taking my idea commercial. Over it’s lifespan the rights to Hentacle have been negotiated with three separate companies, all of whom chickened out at one hurdle or another. Now, not only have Soda Pop made tens of thousands of dollars from a crowdsourcing, but they’re going to make a shitpile more money from a much tamer execution of a game idea that’s so damn close to mine it’s painful.

Do I begrudge ‘em? No. Not really. I’m just annoyed at seeing another success story go past with ideas stemming from or similar to mine. It’s happened before (Munchkin) and I’m sure it’ll happen again. I’m just one unlucky motherfucker apparently.

I’ve backed ‘em and best of luck to ‘em.

They’re still idea-stealing bastards though.

Give a washed up old game designer a break and BUY Hentacle or Cthentacle while you’re at it, eh?

Cthentacle: Spankham Asylum Preview!

Only the clean stuff, obviously… here’s some inks of the characters, clicking should show you the bigger version:

Cthentacle Preview: Spankham Asylum

Spankham Asylum for the Deranged sits close to the banks of the Friskatonic river, a sprawling, cancerous growth upon the side of Spankham City. The townspeople glower when they talk about that place, disapproving of their ‘modern methods’ and the ‘immoral and unnatural’ goings on beneath the eaves of that benighted institution. As one of the few places in the civilised world that still takes ‘Female Hysteria’ seriously they see a great deal of business and their researches into more… esoteric cures for that condition have lead to some strange places indeed…

We’ve also re-indexed all of our clipart with more easily searchable names and have a free catalogue you can get HERE.

We still have a few Deluxe Agents of SWING copies left for those who might want them (Limited number will be available at Dragonmeet & Indiecon).

• Branded pencils.
• Hand-distressed and liveried box-file

Contact Postmortem directly (grim AT postmort DOT demon DOT co DOT uk) to order. It’s priced at £60 (which includes shipping, anywhere in the world).

There are also a limited number of copies of Call of Cthentacle and its supplement, The Dunbitch Horror, sold together for £15 (again including shipping). Contact at the above address the same if you’re interested in that.

Shifting Cthentacle

I need some money in fairly quick order to help fund expansion and pay to get some more product out quickly as well as to store up some funds for some more appearances and to up-tempo my convention schedule.

The best way for me to do that seems to be to offload some of my stock of professionally printed Cthentacle and its first supplement, The Dunbitch Horror.

For a limited time I’m willing to offload both together for a total of £12.50 (including shipping). If you want multiple copies it’ll be £10 for each set, plus £2.50 on top for shipping, no matter how many copies.

Please pass this info along and let people know.

Ordering can only be done direct, to me for this offer. If you’re interested contact me at GRIM at POSTMORT dot DEMON dot CO dot UK or on Twitter via @Grimachu

Tsunami Relief

I am happy to report that our charitable efforts raised $830 for the Earthquake/Tsunami relief fund for Japan.

Hentai for Tsunami Relief

I’m going to put together a bundle for charity for the Japanese Tsunami disaster. I’ve been waiting to see how things shake down and which charity is going to be best to go with before I moved on this and I was hoping that Onebookshelf would put together another bundle, but it’s too soon after their previous one it seems so I’ll have to go it alone. Several other publishers are doing similar things.

I’m going to wait until the end of the week/beginning of next week, I’d prefer to give to a charity that can help with infrastructure such as Communication Sans Frontieries or somewhere that can help provide prefab homes, tents and shelters, but we’ll see what comes up over this week. Otherwise I’ll probably go with the Red Cross or the Global Giving drive.

In this week of preparation I’d like to extend an appeal to my friends who are artists, cartoonists and other talented people if they’d like to contribute sketches or art pieces – if they have the time – that I can add to the bundle to sweeten the deal and bring more people to buy the bundle and provide aid to Japan.

These would have to be appropriate to the bundle (Cthentacle and Hentacle) but otherwise it’s free reign.

Please get in touch if you’d like to contribute, writers too if you can think of something to add or anyone else who thinks they can contribute. This also goes for cosplayers, photographers, models of appropriate genre. Anyone who wants to help. I’d really like to put together something fucking AWESOME.

I can be reached via the comments section of this blog or by email at grim AT postmort DOT demon DOT co DOT uk or via twitter @Grimachu

Please pass this link on to others you think might have the time/inclination to contribute.
