Kickstarter successful and closed

The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.

Books have been ordered from the printer and Scott will be spending the next week or so setting up and sending the PDF files to those who asked for them.

(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)

Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!

Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter!

UPDATE to the UPDATE: The problem has been solved, all rewards are now available. I've extended the campaign an extra day, to April 21. Thanks for bearing with me!

UPDATE: There has been some strange glitch in the Kickstarter launch, so Scott is cancelling the campaign temporarily and will re-start as soon the cause of the problem can be determined and corrected.

Scott is gearing-up for his third Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter campaign!

(Not-Safe.Space is Scott's sexy spin-off of QUANTUM VIBE.)

For those of you who haven't signed up for one of the NSFW Patreon tiers, this will be the best way to get in on the action for a very reasonable price.

Go to THIS link. The campaign starts March 16 and runs through April 20.

The Transcript For This Page

Strip 20
Panel 1
Larger panel, the golf cart has emerged from a tunnel into a large are that looks something like an indoor shopping mall. Traffic is much slower as conveyances and pedestrians mix in a chaotic pattern.

Babbette: We’re almost there.
Panel 2
Focus on Guy and Fiorella looking out to one side. They see a shop with the sign, 'Uncle Don’s Casino and Bar'

Guy: Hmph.

Panel 3
They look to the other side. They pass a storefront with the sign: 'Custom Tailoring for Well-Armed Ladies and Gentlemen.'

Guy: That can’t be right! Guns are illegal throughout the United World.


Panel 4
The cart pulls up in front of an airlock with a large sign:
Water Bros. Ice Mining, Boarding House and Café.
Bert & Ernie Guzmán, Proprietors
Proud Sponsors of the 'Ice Hammers' Surface Hockey Team
And the 'Brothers in Arms' CDPA Shooting Squad.

(We’ll get to see the sign up close in the next strip, so if detail is lost or sign is partly obscured that’s okay)

Babbette: Here we are, folks.
Panel 5
Guy and Fiorella have disembarked from the cart, and Guy is handing Babbette a bank note. She’s looking at it quizzically.
Panel 6
Close-up of the note in Babbette’s hands. It’s a United World Continental, which looks a bit like our Five Dollar Bill – except that in place of FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE it reads UNITED WORLD BANK NOTE, in place of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA it reads UNITED WORLD, in place of FIVE DOLLARS it reads ONE CONTINENTAL and the portrait is of Dag Hammarskjold, an early UN Secretary-General. Put a bar-code on it somewhere.

Babbette (from off-panel): *sigh*
Panel 7
Babbette begins driving away, her eyes rolled up in a resigned expression. Guy in the background smiles and waves.

Babbette: Thank you.
