S.P.I.R.I.T. Issue #2 Familia continues the adventures of a group of teen girl skeptics. Mary, Ada, Jane and their new friend Ash are the scientific paranormal incident research investigation team or S.P.I.R.I.T.! A friend of theirs, Maricela, needs help and the team is there to lend a hand. A traveling psychic is taking advantage of the elderly in town and the team thinks they can put a stop to it. Madam Labrona and her heavies won’t go down that easily!
S.P.I.R.I.T. #2 is a 32-page full color complete-story comic. It is a female, science, diversity and LGBTQ positive comic suitable for middle school kids and up. Our goal is to print the second issue and begin work on the third issue. Enter the world of S.P.I.R.I.T. by backing our Kickstarter.
Monkey and Peach #2 is a continuation of a new comic series by creators David Chun and Hammling. Our story is a fantasy adventure revolving around Asian mythologies that follows our two main protagonists - Saru, the last known Oni and Momo, the heiress to the Peach Family bloodline as they pave their own way forward and journey to find their place in the world of Wa.
The goal of this Kickstarter is to fund the production and printing for our second issue. The entirety of the artwork and add-ons are fully completed and awaiting funding. With the backing from our fans, we will be sending Issue #2 to production and continue the story of Monkey and Peach.
“LYLITH & MARA” are twin sisters and the original Vampire and Succubus from who all other vampire races were evolved from. Born and raised in “The Dark”, their destiny seemed clear cut until on the age of their “becoming” when something within them stirs. A conflict between power and desires struggles with a morality of a soul they didn’t realized existed.
This is a 32-page , 1-shot storyline about the origins of the Vampire & Succubus sisters from our "Shadow Hunters" comic book series. This is also a more "Mature Readers" comic as we delve deep into the dark and forbidden underworld. A great read for fans of horror and the supernatural. Includes bonus concept art pages, and Cover creation processes.
Rembrandt Snart misses his dad. While holding out hope after his father's disappearance five years ago he discovers latent reptilian abilities brought out by a shadowy figure determined to end his life. This is a shonen/seinen battle manga which just means that it's focused heavily on the action/fighting aspect. If you enjoyed DBZ or any battle anime/manga for that matter, such as One Punch man, My hero Academia, Attack on Titan, than you'll enjoy this.

A Map for fans!
At the moment in the playtesting we have designed a map for one of the towns Hokuraito. It is a Japanese town that was teleported into out world of Ekratoria located on the road towards Adaross.
It is infested with the Jiang Shi. You may ask what is a Japanese town doing in the middle of Ekraotori and even in a campaign that is Chinese myth-based. Well, the world of Ekratoria has been visited by many people and cultures of Earth. It is not only the Bai Ze that has ventured to this area but another great Japanese dragon god who goes by a few names. He felt guilty for creating a tsunami and saved this township from disaster by casting a spell and capturing the town on a tome and teleporting it to Ekratoria in a safe location not so close to the sea.
The adventurers explore an ancient tomb in order to break a curse afflicting Pine Bend village. Beneath the earth, they discover the tomb of the dead god Palu, now long forgotten. After braving the god's ritual underworld, the explorers must make a choice that impacts their world forever. A D&D 5e adventure for 1st-2nd level characters, written by Austin Conrad.
Austin Conrad, the author: "Low levels need more epic adventures with high stakes...Drawing a bit on Robert E. Howard, and a bit on Lord Dunsany, for inspiration."
As your party stops for a restful night, they are interrupted by the solitary tolling of a bell that hangs in Teufel's Manor. It is then that they learn of the curse of the manor and the necromancer rumored to live therein. If they don't discover the powerful origins of the bell and destroy it, Teufel will demand a human sacrifice or destroy the crops and livelihood of the local village.
Are your players looking for terrifying monsters, unexpected and new challenges, advanced traps and a truly deadly adventure? This adventure is for Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) players 10th level and above!
The story is wild, dark, and blackly funny. In the last issue, Jeb tried to escape the mysterious Island but was eaten alive by cannibal sheep, while Verity's strange art powers led to her being hunted and imprisoned by the F.B.I. What will her captors discover in issue 5? Are they trapped with her or is she trapped with them? What secrets from Verity's past emerge by the strangely disturbing final page?
There's only one way to find out - read the whole series right up to Death Sentence Liberty issue 5.

Twitter Stranger - 'What if someone made dice that looked like ice cream floats?'
Twitter Friend - 'Well, I feel like this might be a challenge for Ice Cream Dice.'
Originally launched with Rootbeer, Grape and Canadian Cream Soda in 2019 these designs became personal favorites of many wonderful adventurers. In 2020 I released (Orange) Critsicle and now, I just want to complete the rainbow with these last four designs, so without further ado...
As a mechanic aboard the galactic courier ship the Beanstalk, Jack has a hard time letting go of robots. Even the broken ones. So when a P1-Nocchio model won't stop thinking it's a real person, Jack is forced to sell it at a space station bazaar. He doesn't, though. Jack trades it instead for a mysterious navigation unit with star charts to deep, unknown space. Jack hopes the NAV unit will bring him opportunity, but the crew of the Beanstalk find trouble of gigantic proportions.
This first issue of Grimm Space is a 28 page one shot that re-tells Jack and the Beanstalk with easter eggs from classics like Alien and Star Wars. But the story is also filled with references for other fairy tale characters such as Pinocchio, the Big Bad Wolf, and Rumpelstiltskin. We hope to use this one-shot to jumpstart an entire universe (pun intended) of re-imagined stories that pay homage to other sci-fi classics.
What happens when you know the whole world wants to defeat you?
It's simple: you fight the world!
The mercenary Kenzo is tasked with an unusual mission: kidnap a baby! Not just any baby, though, one whose existence can shift the seat of power in the sprawling metropolis.
In the Land of the Dragon is a cyberpunk comic book set in a world not unlike our own, except that magic exists as an equal force with science and is used to start - or finish - wars that devastate this world.

Thanks to the fan community and testers
The 5e RPG is going through loads of playtesting with my co-writer Tim Forbes and a bunch of fans and volunteers across South Australia and the feedback is amazing!
Emerson Ward has kindly painted our Salamander race miniature and it looks epic you can see below I have taken a photo in my kitchen which also doubles up as my board game room. I have just moved into my own house finally after 10 years of struggle as an artist and I must say it's amazing to have my own place to focus on my art and writing! Not to mention I have so much art to go up on my walls my own and other creators that I admire! Your help on this campaign is making my art and writing sustainable so that I can continue release my books and art products full-time while living in my own place. So Thank you!
Painted Miniatures - Are you keen on getting any?
I am going to be offering painted miniatures at conventions and also possibly on this Kickstarter for about $85 per mini for a standard mini. If that is something you would like please let me know by leaving a comment on this post or on my main comment section just say you would love to get a painted miniature and if I can get 20 people say yes I will add it as an add on by the end of the week.

Wow another stretch goal is unlocked!
Fantastic news folks I had a blast at Brisbane Supanova and it was amazing. The fans that showed their support really made me feel appreciated and valued as an artist and creator. I got the same warm and fuzzy feeling as I do when I get another backer on kickstarter.
Anyway I just want to share the fact that we have now unlocked the ninth stretch goal which is the foil spine. I am alsol preparing what the next goals will be but it is likely to be more items in the book ad NPCS also! Anyway please pass on the news to other friedns who love comics and rpgs. Would love to be able to offer you more free dice stretch goals and put the profits into focusing more of my time on makeing the book great.
Razor's Edge Anthology #1 is an exciting 32-page full color comic that consists of 4 separate character stories and will help establish Razor and the rest of the awesome characters in the new shared universe with Cavewoman in the Amryl Dark Universe. The stories pick up with these characters where they are now and continues their stories from where they left off, and will not be throwing out their histories to start from scratch. We will simply get current and take them in a new and different direction while still being true to the original characters. We liked the '90s bad girl craze and can't wait to bring it back with these incredible characters! So we increased this comic size to 32 pages instead of the regular 24 pages and packed it to the brim with some fun short stories!
Thanks to the amazing support of new and returning backers we fully funded in less than an hour and we have already unlocked the first two stretch goals!
Don't worry if you missed any of the previous issues as they are available as addons, or you can choose the NEWCOMER reward which includes all issues that have been released so far along with a fine selection of Plainer Jane and Broken Face Comics swag. The book will be seven issues in total. With the final two issues coming in March 2022. All issues are KICKSTARTER EXCLUSIVES (limited to a print run of 1000 copies each) which will not be available after the campaigns end.
