That old radio we had found months ago was playing music again – a distorted and static-filled version of some classical piece none of us could place. It managed to be both refreshing as well as creepy. We had been living here for over a year now. Stuart, one of the first of the group
Part 1 – A beginning My name is Elisabeth Crane. I doubt human eyes will ever read these writings, but it is in my nature to make them – for there is a chance that one day they may be recovered and I truly fear the situation that will involve their discovery. I have taken
So the Kickstarter has been live for a week and a half now, and is my all consuming focus at the moment. I’ve been reaching out to folks, I’ve been guest blogging, I’ve even experimented with buying adverts. All in the name of driving more traffic to the Kickstarter page, as well increasing the number

This week has been an incredibly busy week for me, and I have lots to talk about in this weeks blog post. I’m actually fairly impressed that there are now 40 blog posts here, one for every Friday since I started the blog – that is a lot of information about Fringe Planet! I may
We talk a lot about the misery suffered by the peons while they spend time on Fringe Planet. They can freeze to death, they can get violently sick from eating food, they can go insane seeing the eldritch sights that are all around them. But how can you keep your peons (reasonably) happy? This blog
