WRITERS BLOXX, a new game available on Kickstarter

By pghhead -

EDITOR’S NOTE:  WritersBloxx is LIVE on KICKSTARTER.

Go to https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/garyzenker/writersbloxx-storytelling-party-game-and-writers-p?ref=profile_created to get all the details and support the game.

 As a member of the Wilmington Writers Group, I have played this game and can speak from personal experience:  It’s a lot of fun, doesn’t take long to play, and I highly endorse it.  I’m ordering my copy today.  WritersBloxx is more than a game designed to help writers unleash their creativity - - it’s a great party game as well!  Let’s hear from the creator, Gary Zenker . . . . .

Several Writers Groups helped me develop the rules and identified it as a party game as well as a writers tool. The web site is live also: http://www.writersbloxx.com

WritersBloxx generates six random storytelling prompts that individuals need to meld into a story. But think fast, in Party Mode, you only get six minutes and there's a PlotTwist in the middle of your writing that can change...everything.

Here's how you can help:

Support WritersBloxx with a pledge. Kickstarter is a crowd sourcing platform. Think of it like Facebook for projects. Your pledge there gets you a copy of the game. There are a couple of different versions. There are also genre-specific PromptGrids to challenge different types of writing (romance, Sci Fi, horror, kids and more). It makes a great gift for writers. You join Kickstarter for free, then make a pledge for a project like WritersBloxx.

The fundraising runs until July 30, 2017. Pledging early in the campaign is important and makes a huge difference. Others will be more interested in learning about it if they see people have already pledged. Plus it's easy to let time slip by and accidentally forget. Please do it now. Expected delivery of the game is September although I hope to ship in August.

VISIT AND LIKE the videos and the Facebook Page. This is hugely important. Larger numbers of likes tells others it is worth watching or visiting.

Robert Kirkman: Invincible, Walking Dead, Wolf-Man

I wasn't actually a huge fan of Robert Kirkman when I first started reading his books.  He was competent, sure, but I didn't see the appeal-- The Irredeemable Ant-Man was a boring side story in the middle of  Civil War and  The Initiative (although I've since changed my mind about this), and his  Ultimate X-Men run was, in many places, a mixed bag (although I did very much enjoy his "Phoenix?" storyline).  And  Marvel Zombies  just seemed like a ridiculous idea--not that I bothered to try it at the time. Now, though?  I've completely reevaluated my opinion on his work, and when his name is attached to a project, I'm far more likely to give it a look.  I don't know if I'd classify him as a master storyteller or a comics icon--but he's very skilled, he has an incredible knack for dialog, and he writes stories that, no matter how ridiculous, seem real .  In a medium where characters frequently violate the rules of physics, that's not alway

What else did I finish reading last month?  Here’s a cross-section of various titles . . . . . . . . . WITCHBLADE #126 “War Of The Witchblade Part 2” by Ron Marz and Stejepan Sejic  (Top Cow/Image) Preface:  Now here’s an interesting concept! = In order to attract new readers to its’ titles Top Cow is giving out free books each month as part of it’s Let Us Win You Over project.  ( www.topcow.com/freecomics )  Every month it’s a different title. And they work through different comics shops each month as well.  In April the title was Witchblade #126 and one of the participating dealers was Captain Blue Hen Comics in Newark, DE (my preferred supplier) so voila! - - - I find a copy in my hands. Since the last time I explored the Witchblade series the mythology has expanded to a battle between the forces of light and dark with each side choosing its agents on Earth, hence the Darkness vs. the Witchblade.  I’m still not overly interested in this type of fare on a regular basis, but

BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPs  (Top Shelf, May 2010 hardcover, black & white, 86 pages,   $12.95)  As told by JD Arnold with illustrations by Richard Koslowski What got my attention immediately was the pairing up of a classic fairy tale with musical motifs.  That’s a combination that pushes two of my “hot buttons” - -  so I made it a must-read.  I was not disappointed.  This is a very entertaining and cleverly designed work that rivals Bill Willingham’s  creativity on the long-running FABLES series from Vertigo. As if taking the classic tale of the Big Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs and turning it upside down wasn’t enough to interest, BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPS  serves as an allegory for the oppression of  the black population in the deep South (Mississippi) in the 1920’s.  While they may be free (wolves),  the governing bodies (pigs) have the power to deny them their land, homes and possessions and even own the businesses and clubs they patronize as well as the shops they d
