Space Comrades,
SURVEY TEAM
You should have received your surveys for REBEL SCUM at this point. If you haven't you can get to it manually at >>> BACKERKIT.
We are working on art and text for Rebel Scum right now - playing around with some cool mechanics. We're all very excited to get this Space Nazi Punching game out into your hands.
R O B O T S
ON ROBOTS AND ALIENS
The most common question that we are getting around REBEL SCUM is "where are the aliens?" As part of the classic tropes of sci-fi that we are playing around with in REBEL SCUM, we wanted to make a clear line about oppressive systems. We felt that adding in Aliens would complicate our direct "evil white power patriarchy" bad guy - and that the representation of Robots as LITERAL PROPERTY, would be a better place to spend our complexity budget.
The Killstar Republik oppresses everyone - gender, race, religion, the whole shebang. The addition of the ROBOT allows the players a place to directly explore that oppression on a personal level (and not just a systemic level). Every game that we have played has been interesting to watch people play robots that just want to be treated as people.. and its been heartbreaking and heartwarming.
UNTIL OUR NEXT SECRET MEETING!

SpaceComrades,
First, let me thank you all personally from the endless wormhole in space in time at the bottom of my heart. REBEL SCUM was just supposed to be a labor of love little project about action figures and punching nazis - and thanks to you, its RED HOT LIKE THE SUN!
We ended up with close to 600 REBEL SCUM looking to beat up space fascists. I am glad to call you all comrades in the war to keep gaming fun and safe. I was a little afraid that the message of the game might be a little “after” the fact - until this week when hordes of sadbois and right wing apologists came out of the woodwork to defend the actions of bad actor (whom they had railed against as being an SJW action only a year ago). All this, while the Republicans in congress refuse to act against the Evil Killstar Emperor and arrrrrghgghg… fun times, fun times. What was I saying…oh yeah, punch some Nazis.
Anyway. Thanks all - and if you have friends that want to get a copy of the game (but missed this KS), you can send them here:
Starting MONDAY FEB 15th at 1PM, The Very Good Dogs of Chernobyl launches here on Zine Quest (our third and final RPG project, but not our final project)…
In this game, the players are a pack of GOOD DOGS that can communicate with each other via telepathy - trying to survive in a nightmarish world created when the Chernobyl reactor punched a hole into a Lovercraftian otherwise. A game of tragedy and triumph against horror and harsh climate - about very good dogs, inspired by the actual plight of pets during the Chernobyl evacuation.
This game has been brewing at 9LG HQ for a very long time, in fact development of Good Dogs directly lead to polymorph.

Once ZINE QUEST is over, we will be following everything up with next steps. W@e’ll keep you in the Koop on developments. Until net time comrades, keep the revolution a-going and…
PUNCH IT!
