Title: CAH Update
Post by: Eddy Fate on November 18, 2002, 01:18:49 PM
It's time again to update everyone on the progress of the current Cartoon Action Hour projects.

CAH Hardcopy

After These Messages issue #1

Right now, we're focusing entirely on getting the articles completed.  We haven't begun work on the layout and such yet.

ATM will most likely carry a $5.00 price tag and will be released on a quarterly basis.

Here's a listing of what the premiere issue will feature:

Miscellaneous
Eventually, we will be doing an annual update for each series that we have a Series Book for.  Each mini-sourcebook will introduce a new season of the "show", including new characters, updated versions of existing characters, new hardware, new locales and new ideas for storylines.  We're still uncertain whether these will be in PDF or hardcopy format.

We have recently discussed doing a spin-off game.  This game would be a fast and furious miniatures battle game based on the different CAH series.  No, you won't have to spend a bunch of money on expensive metal miniatures.  Rather, the game will use cardboard "stand-up" miniatures.  It will be available in two formats: starter kits and enhancement packs.  Don't worry though, it's not a collectible game (i.e., you won't have to buy packs in hopes that you'll get the character you want), so again, it won't be an expensive endeavor.  More on this later, as we learn more.

We plan to start working up a "demo team" program soon.  So, CAH enthusiasts will be able to teach people the game at cons and stores ... and receive cool prizes for doing so!
