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.
Indiegogo Campaign Has Begun! [ Nov 10, 2024 ]
Second times a charm. The epic QUANTUM VIBE: This Means War story concludes with Part 3, and we require funds to publish a print volume. To sweeten the pot a bit, a 3 pack of the print and PDF copies of all three parts of the This Means War story is a new perk. The stickers and magnet add-ons for the Project for a Free Cosmos concept (explained in the story) are available. And one final incentive for the first 20 who get there first, an add-on for a Free Cosmos Project coaster (1 per perk).
The campaign starts today, Sunday, November 10th, and will conclude in 31 days.

Alyss: HUGO! What have you done?
Murphy: Do you really think Hugo did this?
Hugo: They did this to themselves. With their damned bridge.
Panel 4
Hugo explains, again, as the Pillars consider.
Hugo: They used a dangerous, 8-dimensional technology.
Hugo: It required each end of the bridge be ‘anchored’ in the local gravity well.
Hugo: When I moved the city, the well at this end moved with it.
Hugo:
Panel 5
The Pillars huddle, pondering what they’ve learned.
Alyss: …..
Lorelei: The IGC will think we did this somehow.

Enrique: ‘They farked around and found out?’ Hmmm.
Kofi: At least this will discourage anyone building another such bridge.
Panel 6
