The INFERNAL TOUR comes to CHICAGOLAND!
Carlos and I are so excited, because we get to bring our game NEGOCIOS INFERNALES to the Chicagoland area!
We will be joining our beloved J9 Vaughn at their infamous “No Shush Salon,” which takes place at the Broadview Public Library on Thursday August 6th, from 6:30-8:45.
Instead of the usual open mic, we’ll begin with running one of our “Infernal Salon” workshops, where creators draw cards, sprint together in a timed creative session, and then share whatever they’ve made (poetry, plays, music, stories, art, whatever!). This will be followed by the more traditional open mic.
AND THEN!
Oh, I’m SO EXCITED about this!
THEN we are going to go to Heathen Ink:
Heathen Ink
9040 Ogden Avenue
Brookfield, IL 60513
Heathen Ink is where artist BEK HUSTON–our ARTIST FOR NEGOCIOS INFERNALES’s DECK OF DESTINY–has her FLAGSHIP TATTOO SHOP!
And there, in those hallowed halls, we’ll be running games of NEGOCIOS INFERNALES on Friday August 7th and Saturday August 8th, from 4-8 PM!!!
And then, on Sunday, I’m gonna get my second tattoo. From Bek. Who also gave me my first tattoo. Probably, oh… let’s see. In 2008? Or so?
I want to get, on my left inner forearm, the orrery that’s on the top right corner of the ESPACIO card from the Deck of Destiny. And maybe I want to get the words from this card on my right inner forearm.
BUT I DON’T KNOW, I’M STILL DECIDING.
I hope my brothers see that I’m getting a second tattoo. They always wanted me to have more than one. At this rate, I’ll have almost caught up to my mom. Heh heh.
This is my first one. (SEE BELOW.)
Ah, this photo is me when I TEN YEARS YOUNGER, and I can… really tell, actually… BUT! The tattoo remains BADASS!
It’s a jester with ragged wings, no face, and a weird serpent’s tail. BECAUSE BEK IS A BADASS AND SHE ALWAYS GIVES ME EXACTLY WHAT I WANT!
I want my new tattoo to be somewhere I can see it every day, and think of her, and think of our Infernal Tour, and this game that we all collaborated on for so long.
Speaking of Negocios Infernales, we recently posted an update to our Backers Only on Kickstarter. Now, if you ARE a backer, but you haven’t been getting our updates, it’s super important that you do! Especially if you HAVEN’T GOTTEN YOUR GAME YET!
If you haven’t, please let them know at help @ outlandentertainment dot com
This latest update is about a replacement card that Carlos and I want to mail to you! Carlos provided an address updater sheet! We have all the replacement cards! We send out the first batch tomorrow!
Carlos wrote, in his inimitable Carlos Hernandez award-winning Middle Grade writer style:
“…if you’ve been enjoying the spooky and always-accurate Deck of Destiny, you may have noticed a card with a particularly unusual word: “refection” on the Sangre card that reads “You will see your true refection in the edge of an axe.”
Maybe you knew the word “refection,” or maybe you looked it up. In either case, you were likely left befuddled. “Refection” refers usually to a meal or a repast. So, you will see your true… next meal in the edge of an axe? (Also, “refection” can refer to the way some animals, like rabbits, eat their own poo in order to get certain vitamins. Because of course we couldn’t just make a typo. It had to be a poo typo.)
Obviously, the word was supposed to be “reflection.” Typos are the thief of joy!
For the record, we caught this typo in the prototype we proofread and asked our manufacturer to correct it before final printing. But somehow between the moon and New York City, “refection” made it into the final box. Sigh.
That’s all for now… and we really and truly hope to see you at GenCon… or Evansville… or CHICAGO! Or… ELSEWHERE this year!
