Last night friend of the Retreat, and editor, and colleague Brian Niemeier appeared on the SuperversiveSF Podcast to talk about Combat Frame XSeed: CY40 Second Coming, writing, mecha, and all that good stuff.
That good stuff includes announcements regarding the future of the series, by the way, so that alone makes this an hour or so of podcast fun time for you. Turn on Chat Replay so you can find the links to stuff Brian mentions over the course of the episode.
This is going to be a good year for NewPub mecha fiction.
The big take-away here is that a Backer perk Brian first made use of--"Build-a-Mech"--has proven to be a fantastic success for engagement by the audience. Yakon Merkin's taken the concept forward for his Galaxy Ascendant series with backer-designed starships, and both Rawle Nyanzi and I have taken notice. My future campaign will have this perk available, and I am aiming to have at least four slots available.
And "Build-a-Starship" will be a separate Perk.
Expect me to do more Star Knight posting soon.
