Overview

It's been a couple hundred years but Union's LT/CAM outfit on the world of Far Harvest are just about ready to mothball the mechs and call it done. The warlords are gone, the world is more or less peaceful, slavery is a distant memory, there's just one or two tiny loose ends to tie up before they can turn out the lights and report mission successful.
 
Would be a real shame if some asshole taught those loose ends how to build cutting-edge war machines, huh?

No new frames, no new talents, no vast loredumps, just a sketched-in setting you can make your own and a series of pre-written missions -- WITH MAPS -- to go from LL0 to LL5, illustrated in my own idiosyncratic style.

Testimonials

People have previously said nice things about my work.

"This is genius. ... This is spectacular. ... I want to play this game, like, today." -- Overly Sarcastic Productions on Bleak Spirit.

"[Chris] made an AMAZING single-player game that captures the love, joy, nonsense, and chaos of superhero comics, and it is legit one of my favorite RPGs"
-- Jeff Stormer on See Issue X (after playing it here)

Act 1

I originally planned to do the whole of Myriad Inverse in one book, but it turns out a full three-act 0-12 campaign for Lancer is a lot of work, so here's part one and if it makes enough money I'll do parts two and three as separate crowdfunders.

Shipping

So, international shipping is a shitshow.

Because I'm getting these printed in the UK by the printer who does all my zines, I can't send them to the US. Shipping to the USA is so volatile right now that I don't want to promise you a copy of something I can't guarantee you'll get. I can't deal with this particular mess so I'm opting out.

Further, as of July this year shipping from the UK to Europe will also be hit by a €3 import charge. Myriad Inverse should be fulfilled before then, but apparently Italy and Serbia are already charging people on imports. Maybe books are exempt, maybe they aren't. Nobody knows yet. So bear that in mind if you opt for a print copy.
