Quantum Vibe
A thousand years in the future, humanity has colonized worlds in nearly 100 galaxies, thanks to Quantum Vibremonic technologies developed five centuries earlier. Other new technologies have created various off-shoots of humanity and extended life expectancies five-fold. The story begins with how a mad scientist and his plucky assistant, along with their robot friend, brought humanity to the stars, and continues with the adventures of some unique people in fantastic places.
Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter! [ Mar 9, 2026 ]
UPDATE to the UPDATE: The problem has been solved, all rewards are now available. I've extended the campaign an extra day, to April 21. Thanks for bearing with me!
UPDATE: There has been some strange glitch in the Kickstarter launch, so Scott is cancelling the campaign temporarily and will re-start as soon the cause of the problem can be determined and corrected.
Scott is gearing-up for his third Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter campaign!
(Not-Safe.Space is Scott's sexy spin-off of QUANTUM VIBE.)
For those of you who haven't signed up for one of the NSFW Patreon tiers, this will be the best way to get in on the action for a very reasonable price.
Go to THIS link. The campaign starts March 16 and runs through April 20.
Transcript For Strip 1295
Panel 1Diana, Bok, Zander, Alyss.
Diana: But this doesn't make sense! Why retard technology?
Diana: And why is our population declining?
Alyss: Both good questions, which will feature in the report I'm making to my clients.
Alyss: But here's a summary:
Panel 2
Medium close-up on Alyss.
Alyss: Your economy is designed for a goal of 'homeostasis.'
Alyss: That is, it seeks to maintain a steady, predictable state of production, consumption, and resource management.
Alyss: Innovation upsets that balance, requiring adaptations that are challenging for a command-type economy such as yours.
Panel 3
Alyss, Elric, Sargon.
Alyss: It is simpler to suppress innovation. Simpler still to dial technology back to a more manageable level.
Elric: We've been held back for our own good?
Sargon: We've been like mushrooms – kept in the dark and fed shit.
