As Streets of Bedlam was made possible through Kickstarter, I’d be remiss not to shine the occasional light on Bedlam-related projects such as Sebastian Guiterrez’s film Hotel Noir, a work that promises trenchcoats, revolvers, and femme fatales. Pretty classic noir stuff there.

Unlike some films seeking funding, Hotel Noir is finished. The filmmakers are seeking cash to get it shown in theaters so it qualifies for larger recognition (such as awards). As a backer, you can get a digital copy of the script, a lobby card, an backer-exclusive version of the film, and more.

What convinced me wasn’t the pitch but the cast. We’re talking Carla Gugino, Danny Devito, Rufus Sewell, Rosario Dawson, Malin Akerman, Robert Forster, Mandy Moore, and Kevin Connolly.

To hear the pitch, check out the video below. For more details, hit the film’s Kickstarter page. As of this posting, the run still has two weeks to go. It’s already hit funding, which is great, but these projects can almost always use more (and you can get some great swag to boot).

Have you seen these?

The Streets of Bedlam Dice Set* includes a standard complement of d4, d6, d8, 2d10, d12, d20, plus a custom Wild Die featuring Vincent’s battered bloody fist at the 6-spot. All wrapped up in a smooth silken drawstring bag with the Streets of Bedlam logo on the front.

This set is gorgeous and, as they were made by Chessex, they have a nice heft and roll great. You can get your own sets right now at just $15 each.

Note on Shipping

The shipping on these will be the same if you order a single set or half a dozen (you can cram a lot of sets into the USPS flat rate boxes), so if you have local friends who each want a set, make it all one order and save yourself some cash.

Ordering Lots of Sets

You can order up to four sets using the button above but, if you want more than that, send me an email using the Contact Form and I’ll get you squared away.

Attention Kickstarter Backers!

If you backed the Kickstarter with a pledge of $60 or more, you already have one set of these beauties coming to you! (But don’t let that stop you from ordering more, if you like.)

*Dice of Bedlam?

The proof of the physical book is in and I’m really happy with how it looks. I’m going to put in the order this week and get those hot copies out in the mail to all you good folks. I’ll post another update when they come in and they’re ready to ship!

Hey all,

If you haven’t since late last night, download a fresh copy of the Streets of Bedlam PDF to see the new drug rules, Edges, Hindrances, random episode generator, and a bunch of other touch-ups and polish.

In addition, I’ve uploaded the files to the printer and have ordered the physical proof. Once that’s approved, I’ll order the books!

The next book Five-Story Drop is in production currently. I hope to have that all done inside six weeks. It’s been a slow crawl back from the delay caused by the out-of-state move, starting a new job, etc. Thank you all for your patience. You’ve been wonderful.
