2 New Thangs: SubG INWO Game & Long Form teX-Day Video

The teX-Day video posted earlier is the short 10-minute promo. This is the long-form one.

Both versions are on the SubGenius Events Page

TeX-Day 2007 is coming May 5, so we've thrash-edited the videotapes and stills from teX-Day 2005 into an actual finished "fropumentary." (I, Stang didn't edit any 2006 teX-Day footage because I wasn't there to document it -- had to work on the Bobliographon book deadline instead.)

TeX-Day Documentary (32 minutes)
This is the full-length (32 minutes) documentary from which the 10 minute promo was whittled down. It features many more songs and sermon clips than the short promo, including Rev. Chupacabra's timeless testimonial, and slo-mo replay of some of the Launchings.

This year's teX-Day III:
May 5-6 weekend
Dragonz Wylde Ranch, Red Rock, Texas, near Austin

Directions, tickets, and details are at the teX-Day website

I, Stang will be there, as will host Loke E. Coyote, many bands, Sister Decadence, Princess Wei, Dok Frop, Launchings, Doktor Music, Sex Temple, maybe even THAT! More to be announced!

There is yet a longer, much more perverse version -- the full uncensored 40-minute director's cut, which is only on alt.binaries.multimedia.slack because it has nipples and (CENSORED) that Google Video would not want on their pages. The 10-minute short is also on a.b.m.s. All versions posted to that binaries group are high-quality DivX avi files, suitable for your DVD player (when burned to a data CDR) vastly better looking and sounding than the very low-res, choppy format that YouTube and Google Videos must needs resort to.

I should make a special version of JUST the 8 minutes of censored stuff, for alt.binaries.slack perhaps, if I can make it small enough and yet not too degraded. By that I mean video degradation. The behavior shown could not be any more degraded.

Steve Jackson's Illuminati New World Order SubGenius Game - Back in our Scatalog

This is a hundred-card non-collectible set from STEVE JACKSON GAMES,
written and designed by Steve Jackson and Ivan Stang, featuring over
100 full color art pieces provided by the greatest artists of
alt.binaries.slack. It can be played independently, or incorporated
within SJG's sprawling ILLUMINATI NEW WORLD ORDER universe of TOTAL
PARANOIA.

The set of 100 cards is usable by itself, and includes rules for a 4-
player common-deck game, using four Church of the SubGenius cards
(with different art, of course). Each represents a different faction
of the Church, fighting for control, Slack, and that unending flow of
dollars from the mindless Pinks. You can also drop other INWO cards
into a SubGenius game, or vice versa!

Here's a preview (from 1997)
