Buy Brian Mitsoda’s Book, Help Fund Dead State

Brian Mitsoda of DoubleBear Productions has been hard at work on the promising independent zombie RPG Dead State, but also had another project going: he recently released One Sentence Stories: Tales for the Short Attention Span, available on paperback and Kindle. It’s not directly RPG related, but since Brian is working on this game as an indie, buying this book directly funds his work on Dead State.

Brian Mitsoda, founder and creative director of DoubleBear Productions, has just released his first book: One Sentence Stories: Tales For the Short Attention Span. The book is a collection of humorous (and occasionally solemn, but most often not) short stories – none of them over a single sentence in length. Mitsoda began writing One Sentence Stories years ago, an idea that “started out as a writing exercise to relieve the pressure of crazy on my hyperactive mind, as well as deal with writer’s block and everyday absurdity.” After a while of posting the stories on his blog, Mitsoda was finally heckled by friends and random Internet people into collecting them into a complete volume.
One Sentence Stories is now available in both Kindle and printed editions, with an iPad version eventually forthcoming.
Here’s a free taste:

It was a perfect time for cherry-blossom viewing; the robots wouldn’t catch up to us for at least another hour.

Brian Mitsoda is a video game designer, writer, and extremely tall person. He is most famous for being the lead writer of the 2004 game Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, and the head honcho of DoubleBear Productions. He is fond of giraffes, beer, Frankenstein, and dinosaurs.

DoubleBear Productions is an indie game studio in Seattle, Washington. Founded in 2009, their current project is the zombie survival RPG Dead State. Proceeds from One Sentence Stories will partially go to fund this project, and partially to buying Mr. Mitsoda a sailboat (not really).
