Two new sketches from Tim the Giusti!

Rosemary is a preliminary sketch, but this is as close as it’s come to what I had in mind, so I thought I might as well post it while I was posting Mason. Mason turned out EXACTLY as I was imagining, which is awesome.

And that’s actually all I have to report on as of right now, so I’ll get back to writing!

Exciting new GotR merch

I have just spoken to the RAF44 artist, Tim Giusti, who has agreed to create a series of limited edition posters designed by me, based on a few intense scenes from Ghost of the Revolution. These are going into production as early as this weekend and should be ready for pre-order by June 23. There will be a limited supply of these posters, so they will all be numbered and the first 10 of each design will be signed by both the artist and I. Prices, sizes, and date of actual availability are all unknowns at this point, but I will have more information soon!

As for the design, I don’t want to give anything away, but if you have a favorite scene you would like to see on a poster, leave me a comment saying so, and maybe I’ll like your idea better. I have two scenes I’m doing for sure, and a few possibilities for the third, so let me know.

Shirt Update: GotR Text 2nd Edition!

The shirt site is being a jerk and not redirecting properly, so here’s the direct link.

205153.spreadshirt.com/us/US/Shop/Index/index/category/GotR-27790

Ladies: let me know if you’d like a shirt and I’ll make some shirts that accommodate your gentle figures

yikes that was creepy sounding. it’s just a lot of work to make all the colors so let me know which color combo you want and i’ll put it up.

Bad news for personalized shirts and 1st edition shirts: they’re no longer available. Don’t worry, personalized SSTT shirts are on their way … maybe even as soon as April.

Rise and Fall Overhaul

I’ve been doing some housekeeping on the site. In addition to the nicely formatted So Say the Traitors public link, which is now updated to the latest completed chapter, I’ve also matched the Ghost of the Revolution public link as well. Finally no white background/black text … black background/white text MUCH BETTER!

In other news I’m also looking at the list of name changes, the most major of which is the classic Rosemary -> Virginia change. I’m starting to think there was really nothing wrong with Rosemary (even though it really seems like I stole it directly from MGS2). Devotees will also be glad to know that I have decided to keep the name The Rapture the same despite its strong tie to Bioshock.

Original – Changed to
Jewpin – Felix
William Arthur Rosenburg – Zachary Fleming-Boyles
The Rapture WILL NOT CHANGE
Rosemary – Virginia (may not do this one)
Polly – Erika (Grant’s daughter)
Julie – Charolette (Grant’s wife)
The Learning Curve – Humanity

Let me know what you think.

No News is Good News?

Not really. I don’t have anything to report because I’ve been really busy lately. A lot of good video games are coming out and I don’t have time to play them and work on gotr or sstt. Don’t think I’ve forgotten about you guys ;)

This comes also because a friend pointed out that sstt is a bit more boring than its predecessor. Now, granted, we haven’t gotten to the meat of the book yet, but still things should be more interesting than they are. Hopefully the next section with Fin will help that alone, but Gray’s chapters need a little work. I need to take a bit of time to make these investigations challenging, solvable, fun and also interesting to read.

So that is where I am at the moment. Hi.

Teaser #5

Working as Detective Gray, you have several “aces” up your sleeve that you can use if you get into a tight spot. Firstly, his dashing good looks. Gray is in his late 30s, so he’s just starting to get those first signs of middle-age, but he’s still attractive enough to smooth talk his way out of almost any situation.

Secondly, his watch. There’s a small button on the face of the watch that if tapped three times, and on the third time held for five seconds, will activate two small blades in the watch. The blades shoot out of the sides of the watch and can be detached if necessary.

Thirdly, Gray always has a fresh pack of cigarettes in his jacket’s left inside pocket. Inside his right jacket pocket, he has another pack of cigarettes that he doesn’t smoke. All the cigarettes in this pack are normal, except for one. One of them is a small plastic explosive. To activate it, light it as you would any cigarette. After ignited, the explosive will activate between 20 and 30 seconds afterwards.

Lastly, Gray has a small usb stick, which has three purposes. Its first purpose is an auto-keygen, to hack into databases and security systems. This can take anywhere from a minute to several days, depending on security. Its second purpose is a wireless data transfer. It grabs any data you deem necessary and stores it temporarily on your encrypted server for later review. Its third purpose is optional; it has the ability to find vulnerabilities in systems and exploit them. While this step is mostly scripted, and isn’t always effective, your partner Mason is a blackhat, and can assist this step if needs be.
