56.5 hours for the week. Now I buckle down for the weekend to knock out the rest of these characters. When I go to work on Monday I need to have them all ready so I can go print them before I go home (print shop in the same town where I work, don't want to make an extra 50 mile round trip in the wrong direction before I head to the Open House).

At about 8:30 Sunday night I realized that skeletons were not enough to flesh out an adventure, so I threw together this set of rival thieves guild enforcers to ambush them at the start in 1 hour.

I cheated and reversed two of them to give me a couple of slightly different extras, rounding up to 8, then did 24 on a page. Cannon Fodder, the Flame-Foot Thieves Guild will be their first challenge.

The Palladium Books Open House was glorious! I ran my adventure twice and the Flame Foot Thieves Guild posed no threat to the characters. My pregens were a Bard, three Juggler/Knife Throwers, a Mercenary, an Assassin, a Psi-Mystic (pretending to be a Priest, basically a revival-tent scam-artist) and a Thief (which didn't get picked in the first game). The Flame Foots surround the entertainers and threaten them, demanding their loot.. the entertainers killed them all in about 10 seconds of combat.

Waiting approval now. Note that these are your second-string crew, the nightshift and the layabouts. Probably planning to unionize and further shirk duties.. Here's the promo pic:

It's here! The second string, night shift, layabout mediocre crew members for your spaceship! They're probably planning to unionize while they shirk their duties, but for a buck-eighty-nine, beggars can't be choosers, am-I-right? 8 unique Crew Folk with three variations on each for a total of 24 paper minis, presented in three convenient formats for only $1.89! Talk about your El Cheapo!!

I made my first Traveller character with the Mongoose 2e rules last night to play in a game online, and it made me realize it's just not right to leave everyone with a weak crew like that, so I'm working up Crew Folk 2 now. The REAL heroes of the galaxy!

On a roll! While I wait for Crew Folk 2 to hit the store, I've started Starport Folk! Extra extras!

I like the new set up of the way you layed out the figures, with all the same style but different color options on 1 page, no ink waste on tri-fold if I only want the front and back

It has arrived!! Here to whip those lazy sods from Crew Folk Vol 1 into shape, it's the heroes of El Cheapo Minis Vol. 6 Crew Folk 2! Braver! Highly trained! More attractive! The life of the party! No more "What's this button do?" or "I'm on a break!" Now it's "Sir, yes sir!" and "Right away Ma'am!" Spatial Anomoly? They can map it! Six-toed Fangorian Death Maul? They can tame it? Denuvian Slave Galley? They can capture it! THIS is the crew you've been looking for! Get them now for only $1.89! Talk about your El Cheapo!

You write great copy. It will be interesting to see which set sells better.

I would think the ones brandishing weapons will sell more.
Shouldn't the first set be armed with coffee cups, fidget spinners and video game controllers?

I've bundled my El Cheapo Minis for charity!Get them all right here at a 20% discount, and 78% of the proceeds will go to support Ba Nga Afayo Initiative in their efforts to build and maintain an orphanage in Uganda! Ba Nga Afayo Initiative provides food and school supplies to dozens of children in Uganda. Currently they are building an orphanage so that they can help even more children. Your purchase of this project will help the effort to make life better for children. Consider visiting Ba Nga Afayo's page and making a direct donation. Thank you for your support.

After some feedback, I'm updating the files on my Traveller Minis; each page will have all minis of a particular style instead of all three styles. So you can print a page with white backgrounds, or a page with black outlines or a page of tri-fold flats, etc.
First three sets updated, the rest coming soon.

I hope to have the remaining sets updated in the next couple of days; I don't have time off of for the holiday so not sure if I'll make that planned deadline.
In other news, I'm half done with Future Folk 2, geared more towards adventurer types (armed people).

A Little Preview! 3(x3) more females to do before final layout. Possibly tomorrow, although it's probably a week more after that before it's approved for the store.

Working on designs for Zhodani; how does this look?

Post by kgstanley81 on Jun 9, 2018 8:03:38 GMT -9
I think he looks great, if you're doing a set, I think only 1-2 with out weapons male and female. And maybe one or two with a rifle type weapon and then another one or two with just a pistol and maybe a saber

Post by Punkrabbitt on Jun 9, 2018 10:01:09 GMT -9
He looks great! My suggestions are both Noble and non-noble Zhodanis, and the iconic Zhodani warbots.
