After a mind-blowing burst of fan support, the Kickstarter for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness RPG has been successfully funded in 4 hours, and is now sitting at over twice its goal, with the list of backers still growing.

The Kickstarter from Palladium Books is funding a remastered version of the 1985 tabletop game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness. The sprawling game allows players to create their own mutated-animal (or dinosaur) character and explore a post-apocalyptic America. Expansion materials included in the remaster add aliens, robots, time travel, and alternate dimensions.

The new version will include all-new art from a range of creators, and has the support of Tmnt creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. The project blew past its $250,000 goal in 4 hours, with Palladium Books’ creative director Sean Owen Roberson releasing a statement via Kickstarter saying:

We appreciate all of you fans and friends coming on this journey with us.

Palladium Books is launching a Kickstarter campaign to bring back the 1985 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles roleplaying game, remastered with full-color art and bonus materials. The two 256-page hardcover collections will include the core book, adventure books, and supplements for adding mutant dinosaurs, magic, and time travel to the game. With the resurgence of tabletop RPGs, there is a bigger appetite for a Tmnt gaming experience, making this relaunch even more exciting for fans of the franchise.

Announced via Backerkit, the Tmnt RPG was one of the franchise's very first licensed products, and has become a rare collector's item since its launch. Now, it's back, in the form of two 256-page hardcover collections.

John Lewis, the civil rights leader and long-time congressman who died in 2020, left a legacy in the creation of a foundation to carry on his push for young people to stay civically engaged — what he called “good trouble.”

In Washington, D.C. this week, Alfre Woodard and Common were among the figures who helped officially launch the effort, at a gala in the Schuyler ballroom at the Hamilton Hotel. It included a performance by Common, as well as a preview of a series of conversations called the Good Trouble talk. This one featured Common and Charlayne Hunter-Gault. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Rep. James Clyburn (D-sc), Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-ga) and Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-ga) also spoke.

The event raised money for the John and Lillian Miles Lewis Foundation, named for Lewis and his wife, who died in 2012. The organization got its tax exempt status in 2019, but after his illness and then the Covid pandemic,...

The year is 2020, the most futuristic sci-fi sounding of years. With the futuristic motive set up and with this being the first eBuying Comics of 202o I am a firm believer in looking forwards not backwards. Admittedly that does sound a little strange when talking about old comics, but in regards to the blog I think from here things can only get better. I look at the previous years installments as a rough draft. I tried some things that worked and others that didn’t work as well. I want to make eBuying Comics more streamlined and enjoyable, like the good parts of early Wizard magazine. I want to step out more and more from the eBay side of things a cover the wider scope of collecting comics. Lastly I want to make everything more professional. I will elaborate more on these points later, but first I have to contradict...
