The Hill Cantons cosmology inspiration mix Jack Vance novels (absurdist satire of religious mores) Poul Anderson's The Broken Sword and Three Hearts, Bachman's Dragon article (the Weird and its cosmic juxtaposition to human civilization, the waxing/waning of gods being tied to the amount of human worship and the reduction of “Faerie”) Leiber's Lankhmar stories (more satire, petty gods and apotheosis) Early Renaissance Catholicism, Mediterranean hero-cults, Hellenistic and Roman sun-cults, Theosophy, Jewish neoplatinism and mystical traditions, Piper's Lord Kalvan, Early Christian theological disputes (Sun Lord) Hussites, Mormon feminism, William Blake's poetic mythology around the Triple Goddess (Celestial Lady) Slavic pagan mythology (Pahr Old Gods and a number of godlings) Hindu and Native American creation myths (World Turtle) M.A.R Barker's Creat...

ReplyDeleteAlso "Chris's deeply personal acid fantasy vision..."
I wrote that too, something broke in my head.
ReplyDeleteWe're gonna be famous! Or infamous, but either way people will know our names. : )
ReplyDeleteI'm cool with just being plain hated.
ReplyDeleteWell, keep it up pal. Ooluu is not forgotten.
ReplyDeleteChris Kutalik I think it's perfect.
ReplyDeleteMike Davison the word you're looking for is "nefarious."
ReplyDeleteNew u per level is fun sounding. Box set? Wall maps? Trucker hats?
ReplyDeleteGuns and lots of them.
ReplyDeleteSeriously though a $75 backer at the "Brad" level would get a printed copy sent anywhere with no shipping costs, unique content (more points), some personalized content and maybe sneak peeks of other Hydra drafts.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna go turn over the couch for quarters now
ReplyDeleteJust struck me - any chance to put together a PDF only backer level? Same as the 30 tier, but with PDF version of SUD?
ReplyDeleteAlso, might be worthwhile to have a cap on the Brad tier, "only 5 available" or so. Otherwise getting all the personalized content could be kinda rough.
We have a $8 PDF only level.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I guess I wasn't clear. I was talking about a variant of the Completeish tier, with all the unlocks, but no physical book.
ReplyDeleteOh I get it now. Hmm...
ReplyDeleteHurray :)
ReplyDeletethat's so good
ReplyDeleteOk launch is Monday and that's a pretty hard date.
ReplyDeleteFUCK YEAH and other comments of aggressive self-actualization.
ReplyDeleteI see "The Brad" level is up , im guessing thats a reference to Brad Ncube
ReplyDeleteNo, no of course not.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the next tier should be the Double Brad?
ReplyDeleteThe Full Brad.
ReplyDeleteThe Ultimate Brad.
ReplyDeleteBradstraveganza.
ReplyDeleteHumza Kazmi wins.
ReplyDeletejust noticed the added backer level at 100. are you printing out all of it at that level, stretches included
ReplyDeletethe reason i ask this is a private POD hill cantons complete would be fun, or someone can put it together after the fact. and we know from the lablord complete its not too much for at cost printing
