Thanks for posting this! I'm the author of the book, and I've been having trouble posting about it in the forums.

If anyone has any questions, be sure to let me know.

Wouldn't it make sense to have a dedicated alt for this?
The corpname is specific.

I trust that this book will cover CVA, the oldest null-sec entity in the game?

I mean..not that I'm biased or anything....































I am a little though.

This is a great initiative. Hopefully not frowned upon by CCP, since I think this falls quite nicely into the Journalism category.

I just undocked for the first time and someone challenged me to a duel. Wat do?

19.08.2014 - Dinsdale gets slammed by CCP Falcon. Never forget.

It's admittedly kinda buried in the Kickstarter page, but I've spoken with Torfi and Thor at CCP about the project and they've been nothing but supportive.

They were clear that this is independent journalism, and they have no problem with it. We both also agreed that CCP cannot and should not be involved in approving or editing content in the book. They even offered to help me get in touch with difficult-to-reach ex-players!

If I may offer a small criticism, the music in the background of the video is a touch too loud. It interferes with the talky bits.

Or if you're not sure, just pledge and if it's not permitted your pledge will be cancelled when the author is forced to remove the Kickstarter.

If you have never seen the Papyrus History of the First Great War it could be a good research/reference tool for this project Smile
