Kickstarter Success!

The Not-Safe-Space 2 Kickstarter Campaign has ended successfully. Thanks to all who pledged!

Now we get to wait 2 weeks while Kickstarter transmits the funds, and Scott can order the books, and send surveys to backers to get current e-mail addresses for the .PDF versions and mailing addresses for the physical books.

All of this should show up in June.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Guy in his office in his chair, still speaking with his cousin Pierre on his t-comm, his mood changed from mirth to melancholy.
Pierre: This is not funny, Guy.
Pierre: My honor as a man has been insulted. I challenged the fucking putain to a duel.
Pierre: I shall have satisfaction!

Panel 2
Cut to Pierre back in Guy's apartment, sitting on the living room sofa and fuming into his own hand-held t-comm. Make his t-comm look a bit bulky and un-sexy.
Pierre: I know there is no law against dueling on Ceres because – well, because there is no law at all.
Pierre: That is crazy, but at least it gives me the opportunity to run this putain through on a field of honor. He shall taste my blade!

Panel 3
Pierre is now standing, and holding forth a ceremonial-type officer's sword – straight blade is about 5cm edge to edge, a bit more than 1 meter long. The hilt has a semi-ornate hand guard.

Pierre: Yes, I brought my grandfather Gustave's ceremonial sword with me, to decorate my wall on Vesta.
Pierre: Now I shall decorate it with blood!
