The good folks at Gun Metal Games are in the process of revamping their stellar Savage Worlds cyberpunk setting Interface Zero for a 2.0 edition and could use your help. They’ve launched a Kickstarter to fund the process.

What’s personally exciting for me, besides the fact I love Savage Worlds and cyberpunk, is that they’re incorporating the Archetype templates I devised for Streets of Bedlam into their system. When David Jarvis asked me about it a few months ago, I was thrilled. I love the way Archetypes work in SoB (if I may be immodest) and can’t wait to see how GMG uses them for their futuristic setting.

I encourage you to check out their Kickstarter. It’s running from today until March 1st. You can view their excellent video below.

The new year has come and brought with it a stupid amount of writing I have to do. Some of it is brand new and some it is spill-over from last year.

The biggest spill-over is, of course, Five-Story Drop which is still (sadly, unfortunately) in development. It’s all on me. Shawn handed over the last of the artwork a while ago. I am continuing to work on it as I can, I promise you. I’m amount to get back to it after I hit “publish” on this post, as a matter of fact.

There’s not been one thing holding it back though working out the plot intricacies has been a personal stumbling block for me. I want these to be proper noir/pulp/crime dramas and, well, I seem to have a high goal for that stuff. Ideally, that’ll mean a better product for you in the end but, well, it also means stuff like this. What I need to do is push forward harder and get this book done. A lot of you are waiting on your entire order. I apologize for that.

The other spill-overs from last year are the standalone SoB Stories, some of which will be shaped by high-level backers, and Sounds of Bedlam. I’ll be in talks with Ed about the status of the rest of Sounds this week. I’ll update you all when I have news.

So. Onward. As always, feel free to email me at JasonLBlair@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns.
