[QUOTE="Max_Killjoy, post: 7113288, member: 6852843"] For those who haven't been paying attention to your hypernet feeds, there's an RPG coming out based on the setting and story of the long-running, hilarious, and often sharp-witted webcomic [I]Shlock Mercenary[/I] -- the Planet Mercenary RPG. As an extension of that project, a new campaign has started to fund something else I'm really looking forward to -- a deluxe RPG document holder modeled on the ubiquitous "handbrain" personal hypernet tablets from the comic. And, if you missed the original campaign for the Planet Mercenary RPG, you can add on the Planet Mercenary RPG core book in your pledge for this item.
