About the game
This is a special set of cards which that WeaselPants were only given out during the Kickstarter campaign for Redshirts 2. After the campaign, all remaining cards were given to their respective celebrities. Availability will depend on them at that point. Eight intrepid souls famous in geek circles have bravely volunteered for the untold horror that is the life of a Redshirt: David Reddick Not only did he create nearly every piece of art for this project, he is also the writer and artist of Intelligent Life, Legend of Bill, and Rod & Barry Howard Tayler The creative powerhouse behind the web classic Schlock Mercenary. Lar deSouza You know and love him from the art of The Least I Could Do and Looking For Group. MC Frontalot He is the godfather of Nerdcore. Scott Kurtz Creator, writer, and artist of one of the most popular online comics of all time: PVP. Larry Correia The man who wrote the Monster Hunter International series. Michael Z Williamson The author behind the Freehold Universe series. Jonathan Coulton The internationally renowned musician who actually wrote a song about this game. He claims it's about some book some hack sci-fi guy wrote. Pay no attention to that, we know what its really about.
