New Gamebook Author - Nathan Blades!
over 3 years ago – Thu, Aug 13, 2020 at 02:20:49 PM

Hello wonderful backers!

Fantastic news! As part of our new edition, the Axon Punk: Expanded gamebook will include a brand new example scenario. We just finalized exactly who's scenario that will be and we couldn't be happier! The included new mission will be one written by the one and only Nathan Blades from London, England!

Author Profile: "Nathan Blades is an androgynous android gameshow host from the future or a Tabletop RPG  designer and streamer, depending on who you ask. Writing games about  finding joy in a world hostile to you, they describe their work as 'Loud  Gay Trash'. View their portfolio at arslingua.co.uk"

Social media: Writer Blades, and The Neon Caster

Nathan crossed our path a couple years ago when, out of the goodness of their glowing neon heart, wrote & recorded an actual play set in Axon Punk on their Shadow Run podcast, "The Talent Agency". The mission Nathan wrote was directly set in a location created by one of our authors on our first Kickstarter. Specifically, Nathan was inspired by a story from our first flash-fiction collection, the Gonzo Documents Vol 1, written by Darcy Ross from Monte Cook Games. Darcy is a "Evo-devo biologist, snail aficionado" so the mission written by Nathan includes Nathan's ideas intertwined with Darcy's in a freaky nudibranch-inspired Axon Punk mission. 

Find the episodes for Nathan's actual play of Axon Punk here, which will also give you a preview of how to run Nathan's mission: https://thetalentagency.podbean.com/?s=make+me+feel

We were so impressed by Nathan's actual play that we reached out the them to see if we could hire them to publish their story as an official Axon Punk scenario. Nathan wrote it up beautifully and we paid them for their work, but, due to the chaos of the last couple of years, we haven't been able to properly publish the scenario. So, the new Expanded edition of Axon Punk is the perfect opportunity to publish Nathan's scenario directly in the core gamebook. That way, everyone can enjoy Nathan's brilliant writing - as long as you back at a reward level including the gamebook you get it! Also, it's already written so no waiting!

We hope you enjoy Nathan's story, share the Kickstarter, and show them some love! The higher we get, the more we'll be able to involve Nathan in the update to Axon Punk!

Hello everyone!

We are in the middle of the campaign and everyone on the Axon Punk team is pushing hard everyday to reach our goal. To help connect us with you, our wonderful backers, the Wrong Brothers (Colin and Cameron Kyle) are going to do a live Q&A on Monday (August 10) at 7pm EST right here on Kickstarter. If you have any questions, feedback, or suggestions, please join us then! We are really excited to chat with you!

Before then, take a look at the updated art on our Kickstarter page. Everyone’s support on the Kickstarter inspired Cameron to be months ahead of schedule on the art. Look below to see a sample of the new concept art, which is going to look utterly gorgeous in print, especially at our premium hardcover and box set rewards. Hopefully we can tempt you into upping your reward level - it's going to be a great value!

Axon Punk: Expanded

Thank you so much, each and every one of you, for backing us so far. This is a wonderful and wild ride and you all are making it happen.  The news a world around us dark and hard to face. Many of us are isolated and alone. The setting of Axon Punk can hit very close to home right now. We are seeing walls, hyperbolic capitalism, and the heavy corporate presence. That why one of the core pillars of Axon Punk is community and cooperation, so we baked that into the basic game mechanics. So what's next?

Coming soon! New Rewards, New Authors, A new special surprise Starting mission for the main book by a Surprise Author, More Podcasts, Live Streams... More then I can list! 

Thank you for being our Axon Punk Community and help us grow. Please share, post, comment, and tell your friends. Let's make this edition of Axon Punk everything we what it to be.

Peace and good Vibes,

Cameron Kyle
