If you play Solar Echoes at JohnCon,
you'll be entered into a raffle to win some free stuff, like the
Union Guard Handbook! I'll be bringing some game books for Solar
Echoes to the convention at Hopkins this weekend, but this year,
among those books will be the new Union Guard Handbook. This booklet
contains setting and character info, lots of colorful art for each
alien race in Solar Echoes, emblems for each race and other
organizations, and color map icons for the characters. All artwork is
done by artist John Fell. The UG Handbook showcases not just his
character art, but his great emblem designs. Originally, I came up
with the idea of emblems for each race because of the Overwatch video
game, where each character has personal logo “sprays.” When I
talked to Solar Echoes artist John Fell, he loved my idea, and we
began brainstorming and passing ideas back and forth. I'm really
happy with the emblems he put together, and I plan to do more with
them in the future. If not for a JohnCon I attended in 2015, I never
would have discovered this talented artist, because one of the
convention organizers, Mike, gave me his information when we talked
about my goals for the game. You never know who you will meet or what
new connections you might make, and for me, making the connection to
John through Mike has been a huge boost for the overall look of Solar
Echoes. I can't wait to show everyone the UG Handbooks this weekend
so they can enjoy John's awesome art!
