June18 2008: It' s been a busy spring!
We've recently released Fantasy Clip Inks,
Dungeon Portals set 2 and have
been working long hours on both the final writing and interior
art for the
The Mutant Epoch
RPG. With three core books, a detailed town setting, three
adventures and the first six issues of Excavator Monthly
Magazine written, our freelance editors and illustrators are
going to be very busy for the summer and well into the fall.
The Mutant Epoch game,
especially the Hub Rules, will most certainly be the most
heavily illustrated role playing game ever, with 580 ink,
digital and graphite illustrations. Of course, 90% of these
drawings are quarter page or less, some no more than a half inch
square. Nevertheless, there is still a lot of work to do, but we
are all having a great time, especially play testing. We
have recruited another artist, Fraser Hallett and are about to
take on a third in the next couple of weeks.
In other news, we've also
begun to get people signing up for our release info list,
a way of us being able to notify everybody when the game is
going to be released, however we are thinking of sending out
occasional updates to the list as well. If your interested in
keeping informed of The Mutant Epoch, let us know by clicking
here:
info@outlandarts.com
Here are a few samples of some of the artwork for
the Mutant Epoch, but go to the TME
product page to see more updates and previous uploads.
Also, if you have any questions about the game,
please email us and I'll be happy to answer any questions.

March 29 2008:
We've been busy! While we are heavily
involved in ongoing play testing and editorial work on
The Mutant Epoch
RPG, as well as receiving stacks of finished TME art from our
freelancers, we've also been able to release our latest Fantasy
Clip Inks: Dungeon Portals set 1. 12 300 dpi images for
adventure publishes and home brew
creators, perfect for player handouts or just to hang on
your
wall! We've actually completed Dungeon Portals set 2, as
well, and will release that set next week.
Also
in the works are a miniatures rules system for any lien of 35mm
fantasy figures, as well as initial drafts of our Outland System
Fantasy RPG system, which will be fully compatible with the post
apocalyptic setting of The Mutant Epoch.
October 30th 2007:
Fantasy Clip Inks: The art is
in and we are assembling the PDFs and files for Dungeon Portals
Sets 1 and 2, each will have 12, 300 dpi tiff files and also
sell for $12.00. We are now selling out FCI stock art series at
Lulu.com , and in a few days will also make them
available at
www.yourgamesnow.com .

The Mutant Epoch:
Production has taken a year or two longer than we had planned
due to adding additional content for the release date ( for
timed releases of core books, the PDF magazine, web content and
and two full length adventures :Nuke Tower and Blood Road.
We have also given ourselves more time to enjoy
extended play testing, another round of copy editing and a ton
more art. We now have three artists working with us, which is
really important as this RPG is going to be lavishly
illustrated, with much of the art available as prints through
our cafe press and imagine kind stores.
Projected Launch date summer 2008, although we
will not release it until we are completely satisfied with the
quality of each and every book, download and image.
April 19 2007 :: Last night we loaded
two more sets of Fantasy
Clip Inks stock art to RPGnow: Spell casters set 1
and Warriors set 2. Warriors set 2 has an extra
13th bonus image, while Spell Casters set one has a whopping 16
images! We decided that since it may be a while before we get to
future warrior or spell caster sets again, we might as well give
our customers access to these images now, as an extra incentive
to purchase them.
Our next product in the Fantasy Clip Inks line is the
Dungeon Portals set 1, which are now completely penciled
in by Will and ready to ink. As far as work goes on the Mutant
Epoch RPG, we have completed the second adventure and have had a
blast play testing the brutal quest. We rolled dice for three
consecutive nights, played 16 and a half hours, doing plenty of
edits, addressing a few rules questions and added some more
options. This specific, brutal test play session left me with an
new impression of the adventure, the TME setting and rules
which I have never experienced or quite appreciated before; just
how intense, quick, deadly and unnerving the fights are. You
must make damn sure your character uses cover and the bulk of
the team has ranged weapons with a fair amount of ammo to ensure
acceptable odds of survival. Of course, having some decent armor
sure helps, but so too, having the speed to get the hell outa' a
narrow passage or cross fire situation when needed is also
important. Finally, the nature of the multi-path adventure, which
could allow you to play the game solo if you wanted, was
tremendously exciting because depending on the way the dice
fell, your team of heroes could either meet up with some helpful
scavenger, or a mutated grizzly bear... or worse. You never know
what's around the corner, or crashing through the sage brush
your way. It was stressful, in a good way, sort of cinematic and
it gave me sweaty palms.
We had one character death after numerous close calls
and serious injuries... a mutated bull mastiff caught a guy (One
of Will's mutant freaks) in a narrow passage and tore him to
shreds. The poor fellow had a pump shotgun but ran out of shells
just as the thing leapt for his throat. The other characters
fled back to a wide area in the place and were able to form a
line when the dog finally came for them, the front rank
piercing the beast with crossbow bolts, arrows, musket balls a few relic
bullets from a pair of survival rifles, oh yeah, and a volley of spines
from an ugly mutant woman.
We are only half way through the 100 page adventure, and I for one
am eager to get back there and achieve our team's objectives.
Until next time,
Best regards,

October 30 2006 ::
We launch the first of our roleplaying game
accessories, a collection of stock images under the Fantasy
Clip Inks series titled Warriors 1. We also launch this new
updated website. This new improved site does everything we
required of a hub web site; is easy to navigate and expand upon,
all with a light, highly readable and printer friendly theme.
The gift shop is now the main gateway to our extensive cafe press
store, plus,
we have an expanded preview of our up coming roleplaying game,
The Mutant Epoch. The Outland System logo has been finalized,
and progress has been excellent on the editing, art, web
development and advanced play testing. we have the cover art for
our monthly magazine, Excavator Monthly, as well as a great many
of the article written for the firs six issues. The core books
for the game are also written and in the layout and editing
process, while we have two major adventures and several smaller
products and supplements in the advanced stages as well. Our
staff illustrator, also the art director, co-creator of The
Mutant Epoch RPG, the web master for this site, chief layout
guy, William McAusland, will be working overtime for the next
year.
Anyhow, thanks for stopping by and checking out our new site.
If you would like to be notified or updated on the progress of
The Mutant Epoch, simply write us a quick note with the words
'TME progress' in the subject line and we will keep you in the
loop.
