[Comics] Plans

3 Replies

#1 Cover

I had a bit of time so I thought I’d give you lovely fans an update on where I am going with my comics.

Due to both budget restraints and my aim to keep stories concise each of 3 “big girls” of my comic book world will have a 3 issue origin story…

These are…

Kittiwake Girl: The Beginning: An alien child of incredible power is raised by a humble English Village before hitting the perilous big city as the world’s first Superlady.

Magnificent Magda: Genesis: An exhibit of a Nevada Freakshow finds out that she is in fact a half angel and is taught by a mysterious mentor how to balance the hidden world with the real one.

The Widow’s Vengeance: Widowed at the very moment she hears “I do” Kitty McAvoy sets off on a terrible vengeance spree that even the emerging community of Superheroines seem powerless to stop.

If these are a success I plan to go on to the War years with a crossover series entitled Peace in our Time as well as telling the story of the rise of the villainous Major Britannia.
Stay tuned for updates on Kittiwake Girl: The Beginning #1 and the Tabletop Wargame Whore’s Blade Heroics.

[WBH] Morality: The Idealistic Heroines’ League (IHL)

The Idealistic Heroine’s League is the result of a Post War hissyfit of epic proportions from Kittiwake Girl. More than any other Superlday Kittiwake girl has been dedicated to non lethal force. The “KG rule,” as it has become known as, is essentially “heroines do not kill.”

The somewhat jaded and more practical Gray Areas called Kittiwake Girl out on this bullshit and promptly got kicked out of the SPO. Ever since she has been a figurehead for all those Heroines who, for whatever reason, don’t like playing by the rules even when they are relatively lax.

Known as antiheroines the IHL are feared by both of the other Morality Factions. The idea of taking no prisoners seems scary to everyday Superladies whatever end of the fully automatic firearm you’re on!

IHL Superteams are typically somewhat chaotic and bristling with semi legal Weapons. Much like their colourful leaders!

[WBH] Superteam Creation

I do realise a lot of the time I talk about system stuff I assume I’m talking to the same fan-base who know the previous incarnation. Well I’ll try to remedy that with this…

Like the vast majority of Tabletop Wargames Whore’s Blade Heroics has a points system for building Superteams (this game’s version of Warbands.) In theory this should make it an evenly balanced game but even with extensive playtesting one can never be 100% sure. In the end this is a game about spandex clad japes with sexy Superladies so frankly advanced statistical maths can go fuck itself.

Anyhow Superteams consist of the following elements…

1 Leader: A Superlady with a great deal of in built power: The Cover girl and lead protagonist of the Superteam’s Comic.

0-2 Sidekicks: Superladies who are either inexperienced or just outright weaker than the Leader. They may not be as powerful as their boss but hey more shiny superpowers!

0-2 Allies: Allies are non-costumed normal humans who can use their connections in society to provide their Superteams with tactical advantages.

As Many Goons as you Want: Goons are typical foot soldiers whether Coppers, Thugs or something really strange. They are individually no match for a Superlady but in numbers they can deal a lot of damage.

I shall address each of these elements and the 3 Morality Factions that can be applied to Superteams to boost their Courage and grant them unique advantages in separate blog articles.

There’s a lot in there!

The New Year- Hopes and Vague Projections

I’m not going to lay out a schedule for 2012, even a speculative one because Kittiwake is a creative enterprise and we are at the mercy of our contributor’s various muses.

However in this post I shall outline what I would like to get done this year.

First there is Kittiwake Girl: The Beginning #1 which is currently being drawn up. I expect a release sometime in January.

Other Comics will be appearing sporadically both Purple and Black Band.

Work continues on the Scandal Sheets but it seems novels don’t gel very well with my writing process quite yet. I’ll keep you posted.

Seeing as Kittiwake is founded in Roleplaying and has Roleplayers as its main customer base it’s high time we release an RPG don’t you think? Well CID: Coppers In Disguise is progressing a bit and Transported should be hot on its heels.

Further support for History Farce shall also be forthcoming. I hope to bring the Landlady’s Guide to Eligible Gentlemen to print.

In the meantime the Whore’s Blade cores shall continue to trickle out starting with Heroics and 10 special edition miniatures should begin casting in the next couple of months.

Finally I really hope to work with some fans on their contributions to History Farce or Whore’s Blade and maybe some fiction and comics.

I hope that the New Year brings you all the prosperity you need to buy lots of shiny Kittiwake stuff.

Thank you
