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.
Kickstarter Success! [ May 13, 2025 ]
The Not-Safe-Space 2 Kickstarter Campaign has ended successfully. Thanks to all who pledged!
Now we get to wait 2 weeks while Kickstarter transmits the funds, and Scott can order the books, and send surveys to backers to get current e-mail addresses for the .PDF versions and mailing addresses for the physical books.
Panel 1
More chatter:
Jerome: Zytemonde? That's one of the so-called 'Venus Worlds,' isn't it?
Sargon: Venus 23, to be precise. But we were so completely isolated we didn't even know about that nomenclature.
Elric: We were told the Murphy Displacement Engine had been banned.
Panel 2
Jerome puts his foot in it.
Jerome: Still, as I understand it, the Venus worlds did away with market economies.
Jerome: No one has to work if they don't want to, and everyone is provided for.
Jerome: Sounds like paradise to me. Why did you leave?
Panel 3
Everyone at the table is looking at Jerome like he'd just grown a second head. (Except Bok, who already knows Jerome.)
Jerome: Um ….
Panel 4
Zander breaks the silence, and everyone except Jerome grins. Jerome just looks confused.
Zander: Because life in 'Paradise' is stupid and pointless. Not to mention, short.
