All right folks.  Many of you asked for it so here it is. A kickstarter to raise money for a new season of Sword and Laser videos. 

They’ll be authors guides. They’ll be in the Space Castle with Lem. They’ll be freely available on multiple platforms including the video podcast. 

But they need you to back them to make them happen.

Back our Kickstarter now! (please)
