Fresh from The League Entertainment, Simon Vector takes Amazon.com by storm this weekend. If you missed last year’s Kickstarter event, Simon Vector is a cypher, a mystery man caught between life and death, embroiled in a war between galactic civilization and the menace of the alien harvesters. I haven’t read the book yet – I just got my hands on a copy – but it will happen just as soon as I finish Reflexive Fire
Curtis and I continue our Doomsday Prepping, focusing this time on how to get ready for the advent of the Dark Sun, when a rogue asteroid spins our planet into a closer orbit, turning the world into a desert planet. Curtis got some new toys, and we do a bit about using the new Dwarven Forge miniature dungeon. The pieces are really spectacular, and there will be pictures posted into the blog later in the week. Other topics include updates on our plans to attend Fear the Con 5, Free Comic Book Day, and the premiere of The Avengers this weekend. Check out the artwork from Atomic Earth, and send us some feedback to mindspike@criticalpressmedia.com!

This time around, Brett Bernstein from Precis Intermedia joins me in the reaction chamber to talk about where he’s going with his company and some of the products they are putting out in the near future. Bernstein is currently re-releasing many of the older gaming products from the 80s and 90s as ebooks, including many of the Masterbook line. Some of his flagship products include Bloodshadows, Shatterzone, Two-Fisted Tales, and Ancient Odysseys. Meanwhile, Curtis and I prep for the Arctic Blast Apocalypse, getting ready for a rogue planet to knock the Earth out of orbit and away from the sun. We’re prepared to survive. Are you? Announcements include updates about the Atomic Earth Kickstarter and our plans to attend Fear the Con 5 in St. Louis.

Doomsday Preppers is unarguably the most entertaining show on television right now, so Curtis and I naturally have to pick it apart and find out just why this is so. The most important part about the show is that it has inspired us to begin prepping for the apocalypse ourselves. Being who we are, just one apocalypse isn’t good enough so we are prepping for a new apocalypse every podcast episode. This week: the zombie apocalypse. Also, Atomic Earth 2.o Kickstarter begins if it kills me!!

This episode I’m joined in the Reaction Chamber by Chris and Kathy Vander Kaay. We catch up on the latest goings-on and discuss their new project – the Christian sitcom “Cross Threads”. Chris and Kathy-with-a-K share a bit about what it’s like to work with your spouse on a cooperative writing project, some of their challenges, and how they got involved with the producers of the work. They’re raising money to get this project fully funded, and we talk a bit about how that’s going to happen as well. A few updates about Critical Press Media gets us rolling, but then we jump right into the podcast.
The summer projects have been extended into October, and we still need authors to fill the pages with original material, so send in those manuscripts. Book 1 is “Miracles”, themed around the evidence of divinie intervention on earth. Book 2 is “Forerunner”, themed around those people who prepare the way for others to follow. Check out the complete project requirements at the critical press media submissions page.
