NUKED! physical copies are available!
Yeah admittedly I don’t have a lot more to say, the title kinda nailed it. But since I (apparently) hold myself to something of a word count I’ll take a moment to thank everyone who helped make NUKED! possible!
My partner in crime: NondairyGiant a.k.a. T. Thomas Giant a.k.a. whatever ridiculous name he comes up with next. This guy got me into OSR gaming and despite his reservations about working together, decided to give it a shot and now we have a whole-ass game to show for it. Thank you [name of the week] for being a great design partner and friend.
Our artists: HodagRPG, Eric Tonzola, Josh McKelvey, Perplexing Ruins, and (of course) James Windsor-Smith. HodagRPG helped me break into the scene by tirelessly promoting Rangers of the Midden Vale, and without him NUKED! likely would have never been given a proper publishing run. Eric does all of the cover art for my novels and really helped me get comfortable collaborating with an artistic professional. Perplexing Ruins remained patient with GIant and I (mostly Giant) and was an invaluable mentor throughout this process. Josh and James really latched on to the spirit of what we were trying to create and helped define the identity of NUKED! You’ll see some more of James’s amazing art in an upcoming project of mine I hope to have ready for ZineQuest ‘23!
Our editor: Nick Fava. He told us that going through NUKED! was one of the more fun projects he’s had as a game editor, which really made us realize that we had something special, so thank you Nick! Additionally, he caught just… like… so many typos you guys.
Our layout designer: Sam Sorensen. If left to our own devices NUKED! would look… aight. When put into Sam’s hands it was transformed into something you could actually believe exists in a gonzo wasteland, so thank you Sam for really bringing the whole project together for us.
Our promotors: Marx with Yes Indie’d and the fine fellows of Goonie’s World. Marx gave us a platform to tell people about our game and our process while the Goonie’s World gang ran a 6 episode arc that really encapsulates what a NUKED! adventure can be like, thank you all!
And of course to our backers, friends, and family who supported us financially and listened to both of us go on and on and on and on and on and on [etc.]. We truly could not have done this without you. If you haven’t filled out your survey, please do so we can get that game into your hands!
MORE RADICAL NUKED! CONTENT TO COME, SO KEEP THOSE EYES PEELED PEOPLE!
