The Human Contact<\/em> Kickstart<\/a> is live!<\/strong> For the next 30 days<\/strong>, you can donate to the project to make it happen. If you help me reach my goal of $2400, it means I’ll be able to print the game book with the high production values that allow me to realize my vision for the book, and you’ll get a copy of the game.<\/p>\n

Human Contact<\/em> uses a version of the Shock: Social Science Fiction<\/a><\/em> game rules, specifically focused for high-intensity meetings (and clashes) between cultures. It uses Transhumanist ideas<\/strong> and hard science<\/strong> as a backdrop for anthropological science fiction<\/strong>. (If you want to know more, ask in the comments or check out the Human Contact<\/em> page<\/a>!)<\/span><\/p>\n

Every donor past $10 gets prerelease PDFs up through the final, and there are 25 hardcopies of the book at $25 for the first people to donate at that level. At the top donation level, $100 or more, I’ll also hand-make<\/strong> you a Kodrek boardgame set, complete with the ludo\/anthropological study about the game! It’s a quick-playing, chess-like game of dirty, backstabbing space combat from a culture created with Human Contact.<\/p>\n

Pass the word along to anyone who likes science fiction or roleplaying games! Tweet and post to Facebook with the hashtag #humancontact, and help me make this book real!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
