Start your holiday shopping early and light up some body's mind with one or more of these titles.

Offer only available in the United States.

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
Largish panel, a scene "backstage" of all kinds of preparations being made for a Shakespearean performance: costumers fitting actors into costumes, craftspeople building and painting stage scenery, actors rehearsing lines with each other.
Caption: Despite the rocky beginnings, the Contingent members quickly adapted to their new world -- with some credit to business opportunities Pilgrim had set up to get them working immediately.
Caption: One was the Odeum Cultural Center, a venue for the lively arts: legitimate theatre, music and dance.
Caption: The 'Vesta Players' immediately set about preparing productions of Shakespearean plays and other 'good' theater.
Panel 2
An ensemble of various stringed instruments (violins, bass, etc), woodwinds (clarinets, oboes, saxophones), and three singers are rehearsing some piece of music, led by a conductor.
Caption: Nobody knew ballet, but several Contingent members had studied classical music and put together the The Vesta Chamber Ensemble.
