Custom Dice, Art and Fiction Kickstarter

Posted on November 6, 2019 by Bob Whitely/QT Games

I’m doing the Kickstarter because a little over 40 years ago when I was just a young teenager, I started dreaming up 2 universes, and I’ve been writing stories and designing both rpgs and board games set in those universes ever since. Continue reading →

Toonaria: The Apocalypse Pit

Posted on January 2, 2018 by Bob Whitely/QT Games

Sometimes only family members and close friends came out to watch, and those who were drawn in by the shocking, violent action. When the floating island chain continued to sink, the details of the curse were remembered and people came out in droves to watch, despite the safety concerns of flying shrapnel, cave-ins, and other side effects of colossal, megaton creatures going to battle. Continue reading →

Toonaria: The Great Sleep

Posted on December 18, 2017 by Bob Whitely/QT Games

Sometimes Sleepers awaken a year later, a hundred years later or even a thousand years later, and every now and then, it’s later the same day. One fellow a few years ago was said to have woken up shortly after the closing prayer at his funeral! Was he ever truly dead? No doctor would have declared otherwise–if dead were a word in Toonaria, The Great Sleep hardly seems permanent for many, so long as hope remains. Continue reading →

Toonaria: Redd Syndrome

Posted on December 4, 2017 by Bob Whitely/QT Games

It was Awakened scientists who created Redd Syndrome. They were desperate to cure those affected by Pink Syndrome. In their quest to reveal the harsh realities of life, they went too far. Their medicine was flawed, and everything spiraled out of control. Continue reading →

Toonaria: Creating a Universe Part 5

Posted on September 27, 2017 by Bob Whitely/QT Games

The thing is (and don’t hate me for saying it) . . . innovation is overrated. It really is. Don’t get me wrong—I’m all for it, but it has advantages and disadvantages. And of course we don’t need another generic fantasy or science fiction universe (or copycat universe, for that matter.) That leaves us with one of my earliest goals for both Toonaria and the Cosmoverse, both of which I have been exploring through games, stories and art for well over thirty years: Create something familiar, but not too familiar, something obscure, but not too obscure.

Toonaria: Creating a Universe Part 3

Posted on September 6, 2017 by Bob Whitely/QT Games

Toonaria came together on its own, showing me it was needed, because I couldn’t stop drawing and writing about it! And it filled a different niche, one that inspired laughter, hope and courage, touching on different and sometimes important concepts in ways I could never address in my more serious Cosmoverse.

Toonaria: Creating a Universe Part 1

Posted on August 21, 2017 by Bob Whitely/QT Games

I wanted caches of exotic technology that few could understand, but anyone could accidentally activate, causing all manner of chaos and interesting stories, so I created the ancient Architects. These god-like AI have their own agendas and travel the universes leaving behind machines and objects of power for reasons of their own. They aren’t doing it randomly –these aren’t merely plot devices–they have a reason for every object they’ve placed, but the mysteries behind them are not usually obvious. Continue reading →
