by BabyAngelWelcome to the patron page of PJay_BabyAngel_Frith, Creator of: StarArena, A Cyber-Combat Card and Boardgame, For All Rages! His Mission is Building a Kick-Ass, Print & Play War-Game!! If possible; Set A World-Record For Biggest Game-Board Everrrr….
Hello out there on the other side of this screen. My gratitude goes out to any patron who has supported me on my way and is willing to help me further achieve my goal: Creating the ever expanding (fictional) Metaverse called StarArena.
The Globe is a big place, so I better introduce myself: My name is PJay “BabyAngel” Frith and I am a self employed Carpenter who, when in between jobs, works on his true passion: Designing & Drawing a Cyber-Battle Card & Boardgame.
By the end of the year 2019, I will have lived half a century. With that comes the harsh realization that carpentry is a young man’s game and I would rather spend my Autumn-Days doing Art-Work.
Don’t get me wrong; I love doing classic Wood-Craft, but as hard as it is to admit, I am but a mere mortal and unfortunately these Arts & Crafts don’t mix well together. After each day of commercial carpentry I need time to recuperate and regain my energy. This is why I work on StarArena ‘in between’ jobs.
My aim: Creating a Customizable-Card-Game and/or Deck-Building-Game that can be further enhanced with a surprisingly one of a kind Tabletop_Gameboard!
Above is a preview of how I aim to ‘Entertain’ and Pay-You-Back for your Patronage. Again, depending on the amount of backers and funds raised, I will periodically publish Comics & Cards, ranging from Randomly, Annually, Quarterly, Monthly or Weekly.
What sets me apart from anything you have ever Read & Played before, is that my Comic-Strips are instantly converted into New-Game-Cards and Each-Publication comes with a Print & Play PDF attached at the bottom of the page for you bring onto the Battle-Grid as soon as humanly possible and Attack your friends in Card-Combat.
Drawing Comics is the vehicle of communication I choose to present the story aspect of The Arcade. My primary goal remains to create a Kick-Ass War-Game! This in itself is challenging enough and it is with lowbrow, blue-collar, technophilia or phobia game-banter, that I wish to full fill your‘Hack & Slash’ appetites.
The fastest way to find out more about this Virtual-World is to become a Patron so that I can put pencil to paper on a daily basis in pursuit of the Action Packed Adventures that I have in mind for the: #AtomicBabyClones!
These are specialized genetically engineered Infantry-Soldiers that continuously battle Cyber-Terrorism that plagues the commonwealth of The Arcade! The year is 2520, Mother Earth is no longer fertile and inhabited by the human race whom have scattered in all directions, although most seek refuge in the Metaverse. This is a Digital-Domain that is governed by a ‘Stratocracy’ that is perpetually under martial law and their prime directive commands: Code is Law, Protect The Core!
No one can calculate the dimensions of this Cyber-Space, leaving plenty of gaps for unregistered users to enter this Virtual-Reality. Among the multitudes of Malware that have become Mythical Monsters, or hordes of Techno-Thieves, are those known as the: ‘Outlaws!’
These believe themselves to be freedom fighters and claim ‘Liberty for all Arcadeans!’ These consist of a wide range in variety, from Tribal to Paramilitary. But are further too diverse to form a united front. The Metaverse is so vast and in eternal conflict between Order & Chaos! At any given time: A Cyberwar Rages! The more religious fanatics proclaim that the Core is an Oracle, intended as Shareware to enrich _and not enslave_ all electronic entities.
To gain citizenship to The Arcade, one must do mandatory military service. But there is a short route for the Young & Brave, or the Old & Cunning: An open Battle Tournament wherein the Victor is granted Sanctuary! This is: The StarArena, a Game-Portal to that other Dimension!
“Be Victorious or be Vanquished on this Strategic Multi-Leveled Rotating Tabletop Boardgame! As you Battle your way to the Top to gain The Grand-Prize of Sanctuary and Take The Coins!!”
These Game-Portals have undergone several revisions over the years concerning graphics and technical game enhancing upgrades yet unseen in tabletop boardgames. In 2015 your narrator and creator of the StarArena gradually ‘optimized’ the design over 44 Pre-Production Proto-Types and will be submitted for Rewards to Patrons with big hearts.
All this can be captured in one sentence; This Table-Top-Sensation Is A Kick-Ass War-Game!! The 2017 luxury deluxe game-units are UV-printed on polyvinyl foam board, assembled and shipped by yours truly!
Be A Big-Daddy, Become A Patron: Order Yours Today and Help this GameSmith on His Way. Use PayPal or Credit-Card. Your Personal Game-Portal will be Sent-Out on the first following business day. Only Available Via Patreon! or StarArena.Games!!
- Meanwhile we need to ‘UP’ The-Card-Game_Production, which can only be achieved by consistently drawing Comics and War-Stories!
It is here where I ask you to consider donating Coin or Credit towards The StarArena and become a Patron so that I may full fill my task of completing a Kick-Ass Cyber-War-Game!
“The Dream is to Quit-Carpentry and Draw Comics & Cards Daily!”
Signed: PJay “GameSmith” Frith, Summer of 2017. Whois the #GunShin? #軍神?
As the saying goes; “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.” My misfortune exploded exponentially when the pandemic entered the world stage and starting December of 2020: Covid Kicked My Ass! In my case, Corona exposed a dormant Neck-Hernia, and in combination with Long-Covid, proved to be a cruel, excruciating experience.
During this period of modern day pestilence or plague, holding a pencil for longer than five minutes could prove problematic. This is why I never got to start the production on new Comics & Cards as intended these past five years. Even though putting pencil-to-paper proved physically impossible most of the time, your Game~Smith was able turn some negatives into positives.
Throughout the duration of detrimental-degeneration and decline, I luckily ‘was’ able to perform plastic-punching desktop-publishing and worked on this Game-Encyclopedia. Among multiple of other StarArena® websites and shops that can be found by clicking the button below…
As I find myself at another crossroad, the choice is to simplify my life and unburden my studio of clutter. Practically forced into early retirement from carpentry, I wish to focus and fulfill what time I can on Comics & Cards. With emphasis on Print_And_Play for both Minis and Cards.
After extensive physical-therapy, rehab and now prehab, your humble narrator has come to comprehend the phrase: Health is True Wealth! After a life filled with; Demolition & Construction, Mixed Martial Arts and Hours, Days or Months behind Computers or Drawing-Boards…
Your guess is as good as mine on how my neck ended up such a trainwreck?
Any which way, that is why I train myself to Draw Standing-Up these days…
As I continue The Mission after a rude interruption from corona.
