Okay – so it’s January but it hasn’t instantly gotten warmer… What is the DEAL with that? (The Highly Appointed Kell Inkston Newsletter for the Month of January on the Year 2024)

Gooooooood mooooooorning book fans!

Perhaps it’s time for some music?

You bet it is!

Jazzy, right?

You probably haven’t the slightest idea what Moon RPG is. Gaming aficionado-types call it an “Anti RPG” due to its focus on things other than combat.

Back in the day, it was one of the very first games centered specifically around the idea of “friendship-focus” and remediation after injury as the goal of the game, an alien concept at the time.

Granted, I have a lot to say about that game and what it meant for videogames as an artform, but for now I’ll give you this one track and we’ll go with that.

It’s a very strange game – one of the strangest games of its time, and one of the most little known games to have such a large impact on games that would come after it, as well.

Anyway, this newsletter isn’t about that – It’s writing stuff time.

Featured art of the Month: “Destroyed Village” by Aenen

… wow... like Verses Above. This is killer.

Thanks so much for the cool art – I’ve gotten a lot of really good ones over the years, but this is easily one of my favorite pieces based on the books that someone’s made so far.

An unexpected side project: a Substation 7 Short story!

Free for subscribers – look forward to it. It’ll be a sort of prequel that will add on a good bit of the “oh *#&!” factor towards book 4. That’s all for this one.

Arc 3 in the Mega Super Kell Inkston Newsletter: Launched!

Yup, months and months of work leading to months and months of more minion visits for unsuspecting, innocent, doe-eyed subscribers, cluelessly staring down the barrel of my Springfield Minion-Email Administration Device.

Starting exactly… uh, some weeks ago, you can now enjoy a brand new storyline in your inbox complete with little nerds like these fellows:

You’ll see these fellas plus plenty more in “ARC 3: Crime Spree!”

But don’t worry, those of you joining us for the big monthly update the first time won’t notice anything different: just emails as usual.

Have fun, and let me know which deliveryminion did the best job! It’s for “research reasons”.

Parting:

Honestly I don’t have anything else to show off to you. I’m hard at work making new adventures, mostly in the Nocturna League/Xtreme Force direction, but rest assured I have plenty more cooking under the radar. Do your best to defend the rights of others and inspire others to do the same. It’s by producing for one another, for our children, and for the future generations that a truly great society can be made.

See you next time,

K.

Drawing is fun, too! It doesn’t matter if it’s “gOoD” if you’re having fun and engaging in the act of creation. Go make things! – Onward and Inkward!
