Dr. Dinosaur is amazing and I will never be able to get enough of him. He is one of the perfect comic book characters.

Gaz-L posted:(PS Dr Dinosaur rules, but only in small doses) Everyone wants Wolverine and Deadpool in every issue of every comic until it happens. We have chosen to cultivate your long term joy instead of your short term dollars. quote:And 7 does a fantastic job building up the She-Devils as both a group and as individual characters, such that some of the more tragic emotional beats land properly. It's a little sad that I can probably name more of them than I can the women at Tesladyne, though. I know there's the red haired gal and the stockier Asian lady that usually goes on field missions, but their names are barely used, and the downside of them being 'regular' parts of Robo's life, means we spend less time with them in focus. To be fair, this goes for most of the crew, but Bernie (nebbishly rocks guy), Vik (imaginary physics dude), Gerry (hippie-looking nuke guy), Martin & Louis (evil computer dorks) and Jenkins (Jenkins) all have distinct bits of focus that at least let me tie a name and a trait to the character designs. On the bright side, Lang and a "new" girl get a lot of screen time in Vol 10. And Vol 11 should bring back Helen/Nightingale as a major character a few years after the events of Vol 5. And we're gunning pretty hard for a volume of Real Science Adventures all about the She-Devils on their first big adventure after WW2. So, our representation track record isn't the best, but we're aware of it and we're working on it.

Ooh, maybe the 40s Sparrow and her spy friend can team up with the She-Devils? And cool news about the upcoming stories.  I wasn't meaning my post as any kind of call out, just that it would've been neat if the more regular lady characters were as distinct and front-and-centre as the Devils. I'm also weirdly fascinated with who the lady with Robo in the Sagan issue of Vol.3 is. I got the impression she's his at-the-time SO? Any chance of more disco-Robo era stories to get more into that?

Glad to see packages getting out into the world! Some folks shared pictures of their hauls online and, uh, wow. I did not realize there was so much stuff. Turns out delivering a dozen objects to thousands of people is super difficult. Our next campaign will be much more focused for speedier delivery. Most of the work for it is already done

I got my everything yesterday. Still trying to find my name in the field guide. I've probably overlooked it quite a few times now. I also need to get a frame for my certificate. Gonna hang that poo poo at work so the kids at my day care think I'm super goddamn awesome. I wish I could get Robo for the reading corner but I'm fairly positive the fact Robo uses a gun would make it inappropriate

Because it wouldn't run on my iPod even though I met the minimum requirements and now it's disappeared from the iTunes store. The developers have gone silent as to why it's gone away. At least it was only 99 cents

The developers have gone silent as to why it's gone away. At least it was only 99 cents And, looking back at The Fictory's campaign, and then our own, and then juggling the logistics of ours, I think they messed up on their campaign by having a less guarded position. They ran into production bottlenecks that caused delays that caused more bottlenecks, more delays, etc. I'm not even upset at them about it, because I've seen it happen to a couple dozen campaigns. It happened to us too for just a few months even though we'd specifically structured things to avoid that exact problem. I've got a lot of sympathy for anyone who runs a campaign. There are hundreds to thousands of expectations to juggle. Meanwhile, reality is a harsh mistress and no one wants to hear from her. sporklift posted:You can use the find function in the PDF to find your name.

Hyperactive posted:Yes, you do, but I like it. Our next project isn't related to Robo, so that might help you. Then again, it's the sort of thing 95% of all Robo fans should be interested in anyway. You may be boned regardless! Given I've been following you since shortly after 8-Bit Theater started, and I don't even remember how long ago that was, there's a very good chance I'm boned regardless. Speaking of comics, I should go catch up on those...

There's a full timeline, stats for pretty much everyone, and it uses pages from the comic to explain the rules in detail. And yes, you can play a dinosaur.

Call me biased, but the Robo RPG is a solid buy even if you never play the game. It's packed with setting info that's been hinted at but not (yet) explored in the comics. I am not kidding when I say we got paid to write our series bible. First supplement should be out in early 2015. It's all about Majestic 12 and it reeeeeeeeeaaally makes me want to do spin off comic series about them.
