Back The Campaign!

It's not too late. Plenty of time to back our campaign. Many perks available including an autographed print copy of Quantum Vibe: This Means War (Part 3).

Campaign ends December 10th. Click on this link or on the picture to back our campaign!

Indiegogo Campaign Has Begun!

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
Pilgrim continues his lecture.
Pilgrim: Speaking of which, on Vesta the Continental is toilet paper ... just like on Earth.
SFX: [polite chuckling]

Panel 2
Looking at a small group (5 to 8) of people in the audience, most of them pulling some printed matter out of identical manilla envelopes.
Pilgrim (OP): Gold is the most common currency, but in your arrival packets you'll find a list of currencies and their Continental exchange rate.
Pilgrim: Be advised that those rates can change daily.

Panel 3
Looking over the shoulder of one of the audience members at some of the printed material. On the top visible sheet of paper is an image of a mining operation on Vesta, an aerial view of some buildings that look like quonset huts with roundy ends, around a large pit in which various large machines are tearing up rock and processing ore.
Pilgrim (OP): Vesta has a mining-based economy. Primarily carbonado -- or black diamond -- and orthopyroxene, a magnesium-rich ore.
Pilgrim (OP): Everything else here supports that industry.
Panel 4
In the middle-ground, Pilgrim stands at the dais. In the foreground right, we see a hand being raised from the audience.
Pilgrim: You can find more info on the Tanglepedia. Any questions?
Hand: Uh -- Mr. Bone-er?
