Description
It's been nearly ten years since I began drawing gruesome little battle-monsters for a world I'd eventually name Mortasheen, and after nearly a solid year of mostly secret development, the Mortasheen concept will finally metamorphose into something more tangible for people to enjoy.Within the coming weeks, the independent game publisher Cat Powered Raygun will be releasing a downloadable Ebook containing everything you need to play an all-new, original pen and paper roleplaying game set in the Mortasheen world, including exclusive artwork and in-depth background information on dozens of characters, environments and phenomenon I've never before revealed!
Even non-gamers might enjoy learning the strange ecology of Mortasheen city's many different environments, the various races who engineer and train Mortasheen monsters, and the many outrageous ways normal humans have struggled to adapt in a world where garbage tries to eat you...including one so threatening it may finally unite the lawless city's mad inhabitants under a common goal.
Actual release date, cost and more teaser details to follow!

...Freaking AWESOME! I was wondering when you'd release your twisted little world to the lands of mere mortals like us. Looks cool...but why does no one notice the poor Jabbergrackle beside the Chainsaw Kid?

Nice! I had hoped you would get some recognition for your work beyond DA. Is there going to be a physical form of such a book available?

My friends and I have been talking about starting up some kind of tabletop rpg campaign in a couple months after a couple of them get their own apartment...from what I know of Mortasheen its kinda Pokemon-like (what with training monsters and all) and they're all Pokenerds...so maybe this could be our thing. We shall see.

I'm thinking that the creatures in this image would have to be under extreme psychic restraint in order for a photo like this to be taken. Also I'm glad to see your dreams are taking shape, the last ten years have not been a waste.

What, exactly, is an E-book, anyway?
Do you just mean like a downloadable book you read on that adobe pdf reader thing?

Many RPG's start out the same way.

Oh dear lord, this is better than anything I could have ever hoped for

Adorable bunch! This, if something, should help with my lack of motivation to draw things with sharp teeth and blood...

The one disappointment in all of this is that the logo's 'O' is not an eyeball in any shape or form. I mean, how can you be a serious contender for best 'Thing' ever and not have an eyeball-o? I cannot get my head around the paradox this presents.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Normally that's the reasoning you choose to support that kind of thing! It's okay though - I've changed my mind and you don't need any more eyeballs to be the coolest.

Was fun seeing everyone try to guess what it'd be! *Awaits the shitting of bricks*
