Indiegogo Campaign Has Begun!

Quantum Vibe: This Means War (Part 3) 30 day Indiegogo campaign.

Second times a charm. The epic QUANTUM VIBE: This Means War story concludes with Part 3, and we require funds to publish a print volume. To sweeten the pot a bit, a 3 pack of the print and PDF copies of all three parts of the This Means War story is a new perk. The stickers and magnet add-ons for the Project for a Free Cosmos concept (explained in the story) are available. And one final incentive for the first 20 who get there first, an add-on for a Free Cosmos Project coaster (1 per perk).

The campaign starts today, Sunday, November 10th, and will conclude in 31 days.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
(Small panel, maybe make this an inset into the next panel 2) Looking over the soldier's (from Strip 310) shoulder at Carlos, still seated on the plaza ground, smiling and squaring his deck of cards.
Carlos: Friend, against my better judgment, I will bet my gold against your … paper.

Panel 2
Large panel – now a a couple dozen each of soldiers and Belters are seated on tables and chairs which had been brought out to the plaza. Some are playing poker, others chess or Go. A few waitpersons are serving drinks on trays.
Caption: With that, the soldier put his weapon down and strode out to join Carlos in a game. Before long, several other soldiers did the same.
Caption: One Belter offered to play chess for Continentals, another said he would play Go for Continentals. Some soldiers pulled out their own cards and dice.
Caption: The owners of Chez Treif and other eateries on the plaza brought tables and chairs, and said they would be … happy to take Continentals if anyone was thirsty or hungry.
