The Kickstarter is live! The clock is ticking!!
Please, help us spread the word! Donate if you can! The LGBTQ* community desperately needs this ‘zine. We fully believe in what we’re doing and can’t wait to share it with you!
Tomorrow is going to be awesome!
Just a Bit Radical talks to Kisareth Studios (http://www.kisarethstudios.com/#) very own CEO about their amazing GLBTQ characters and inclusive storylines, in their flagship title for Xbox and PC! So excited!
The upcoming sequel to their first game is set to be wonderful, with new art, new music—And even more of the characters fans of the series know and love. We hope to touch on what makes GLBTQ visibility important in gaming, and many other issues!
The rubber hits the road
I don’t want to break anyone’s bank. I’m broke, and so are a lot of other people. I know it’s tough for everyone. That being said, Just a Bit Radical is going to be available in every digital format I can get my hands on—And print issues will be available on demand.
The ‘zine is going to be $2.00 USD per issue, digital. $7.00 USD for a subscription gets you all four of this year’s ‘zines. Two bucks. You can’t buy a coffee for $2.00 these days. I know people think I’m crazy. The fact is…I’m not doing this to get rich. I’m doing it because there is a basic, fundamental need to get this content to as many people as possible. Selling the ‘zine for $2.00 ensures that just about anyone can afford it. If someone wants a printed copy because they don’t have access to a computer—I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it. For now I stand by digital download.
People need and want this kind of publication. I’m not going to lie to you guys, we got our first Q&A article back yesterday—And it’s amazing. I can’t even begin to tell you how wonderful it is. We have some quality, top-notch things that I can’t wait to show you all.
Stick with us. We’re just getting started.
