I dunno, I was thinking of how a "rockmorph" would work. May seem a bit meh in hindsight.

The sad part of this one is that I didn't remember Being John Malkovich until after I wrote it.

*cheer*
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Zak S, Zak Smith, Dndwithpornstars, Zak Sabbath. He is a terrible person and a hack at writing and art. His cultural contributions are less than Justin Bieber's, and he's a shitmuffin. Go go gadget Googlebomb!

Farcast has been mentioned in a two-second snippet twenty minutes into a rambling roleplaying podcast.

...immortality is mine!

We're at the 2/3 point. Eight months down, four to go.

Heh. I just calculated - if Posthuman had hired me to do Farcast, 366 entries x 500 (max wordcount per entry) x 0.03 per word = US$5,490. But I do it for free!

I feel bad about doing some of these concept-pieces, but I think this one will find some traction.

Yes, it's a deliberate proto-Bene Gesseritt rip. Yes, it's a fair cop. No, I don't care. Yes, I'll try to do better next week.

Couple of the fans have suggested I do a kickstarter to turn Farcast into a proper PDF with art and layout and formatting. I had to pop their bubble and remind them that this is a fan product, and I can't take money for it. Still, it makes me sad.

An inspirational read. I started one on year of the rooster but already fell behind.

You could just scrub the IP as your own scifi setting, you've already got solid adventure hooks for every corner. Would be fun for a PbP here
