More Inevitable news 

This past February we mentioned the forthcoming satirical-dystopia boardgame Inevitable, by Jeremy P. Bushnell and Jonathan A. Leistiko -- "people who think Orwell's 1984 is a comedy and the Necronomicon is a romance."

In May Inevitable got some big-time attention -- even more high-profile than this blog, if you can conceive such an idea -- from Gawker Media's increasingly interesting science-fiction fansite io9. Ed Grabianowski writes "Inevitable, the Boardgame of Insane Supercomputers, Zombies, and Sociopolitical Satire." Both designers are on hand in the comment thread to answer questions; Leistiko writes, "My elevator pitch: It plays like a cross between Talisman, PARANOIA, and Illuminati. Yet it's still uniquely its own thing."

Inevitable has been in the works quite a while but now at last seems imminent. A Kickstarter campaign raised over $9,000, triple its original goal. Check the official Inevitable game site for updates.

No, seriously. If you make non-commercial use of stuff here, that's fine, but we reserve all commercial rights, and all rights to prepare derivative material on things posted here. In addition, posters of comments must be aware that we reserve the right to use whatever material they post here, and/or derivative works therefrom, in PARANOIA, supplementary products, licensed products, or derivative work, without any compensation whatever, for all time to come and throughout this universe and any alternate universes that may be discovered. At our discretion, and without obligation, we may, if it strikes our fancy, make a good faith effort to credit you for stuff we use, but we can't promise it won't slip our minds, in the hurly-burly of meeting deadlines. (Actually, we intend to do that, but it's possible we'll screw up.) By posting comments, you grant us a non-revocable, perpetual, non-exclusive license to use whatever you post, in whatsoever fashion we deem useful, here or in any other forum, in PARANOIA or in any and all future products, including but not limited to derivative works, and specifically but not exclusively including the microbrewery beer, ale and porter; salty and sugary snack; and tattoo design rights deriving therefrom. Woohoo! Is that enough legalese for you? The Computer is Your Friend.
