A little sneak preview for you all!
For quite some time now, we have had a card game waiting in the wings - Meerkat Slammers. It is a very fast, fun, and frantic game, but while we have done all the art, layout and playtesting (it is literally ready to go to print), we keep finding that we are always spending our pennies making new Dredd models and Traveller books - because we know you guys like 'em!
We have no idea whether Meerkat Slammers is the kind of thing you want to see and, in this economic climate, it would be a terrible risk for us to just go ahead, print it up, and throw it out there.
So, we thought it best all round if you chaps (and chapettes!) decided whether it was a good idea or not, and do an extremely modest Kickstarter campaign to gauge whether sufficient interest was there. Will (our head graphics guy), along with Amy and Nikki have put together a fun page and video in their spare time, as they really want to see this game out and about! Take a look at their hard work, and let us know what you think;

All comments welcomed, from pledge levels, to stretch goals, to graphical presentation! We will endeavour to make any changes before we go live, in maybe a week's time.
This project will in no way affect Dredd or Rogue Trooper - as I say, all the work has been done. If Meerkats proves popular enough to attain its goal (and we have some very sweet updates already planned for this project!), it will go straight off to print, taking no more time than it takes for me to send an email and Will to send the files on FTP!
