Let's take a look at the two new pieces of art that were recently added to the PDF. Huge props to the artists!

Straight to VHS has never gone longer without a public update, and there's a lot of NEW to go over. First off, let's mention some of the stuff going on surrounding the game. There are now two names accredited with "Game Designer" in the book. In truth, Straight to VHS has received input and ideas from one Kirsten Hostbjor since the very beginning, and her level of involvement has only been rising. In short, it was past due to ditch the pretense that this was strictly a sole proprietorship. Also, you might notice that I've dropped the "M. M." moniker and am letting the full name fly.

We've taken the step of forming an honest to goodness company, Lost Cat Games. We've also set up this new website. A bit slicker than the old digs, yes? In our bid for professionalism, we've also removed the artwork from the PDF that had been basically pilfered from old movie posters. It's not all bad news on the art front though. Three original art works have now been added to the PDF and more will join them. Still, filling the book with art is going to be a long-term goal that we just can't possibly afford as of now.

Some might recall, I've long-talked of starting a widespread promotional push with the release of version 0.3. This isn't going to be strictly accurate, but damn close. We're releasing this update now, just before a brief vacation (not even a full week). We wanna let the changes sink in a bit and get some feedback. Version 0.3.01 will be quick to follow and will coincide with outreach to the larger gaming community. Please wish us well, but pretty pretty please get in touch with your feedback on the game in its current state. We need your thoughts! (yesss, feeeed us your thoughtsss...)

So, here's this thing: Straight to VHS version 0.3
The change log is as follows:

     DUUUUUDE! Check out this bitchin' street tough of a werewolf over here! Much thanks to the talented Roman Lutsenko for the first (and extremely awesome) piece of official Straight to VHS artwork!

     I'm slowly getting Straight to VHS ready for the debutante. Aside from artwork, I'll also be forming an LLC and getting better web-hosting [UPDATE: Done and done!]. We're going legit, people! Stay tuned!

     Version 0.2.93 took a bit long, but it brings pretty substantial changes, the most dramatic of which is that characters now get 6 action points on thier turns instead of 5. That might sound like a normal sort of tweak, but it has wide-ranging effects on the game and thus required quite a bit of playtesting. After two and a half months I would have liked to have a bunch of new baddies and character options, but this update really is more about nuts and bolts (though there is the new Sophisticated trope, with a very unique Cinematic Action). So, with expectations in check, let's take a look at what this update is all about.

     Did you know that Straight to VHS is the RPG of October 2015? Well, over at dailytechnomancer.com, it is!

     You can read the article here, in which the author breaks down the various aspects of the game and gives a final verdict. Not to spoil the conclusion, but I'm pretty sure future versions of StVHS will feature the following quote: "We give Straight to VHS a final grade of 9.5 lightsaber-wielding bearborgs out of 10." -Daily Technomancer

     Huge gratitude to Daily Technomancer for taking an interest so early on!
