Toxic Bag Productions has released a teaser for their upcoming Specimen B card game of SF horror. I can’t say the video inspires me to check out the game one way or another unless perhaps in the future an auto repair shop is attacked by an alien (utilizing every survival horror meme in the book) and need to defend the shop and my fellow mechanics with odd Luger-like pistols, but you have to give Toxic Bag some credit for trying to get the word out before the project launches. Maybe if they tossed in a few quick shots of the game and components at the end my interest would be piqued a bit more. And I won’t even ask what’s with the teddy bear patch everyone’s wearing…
Obviously I’m teasing Toxic Bag a bit as this is, at least to my knowledge, their first foray into games as they’re well known for role playing game soundtracks available on CD and MP3s.
Jeff,
Thanks for mentioning us! Toxic Bag is a small company and we appreciate all the help we can get in promoting the game. Our Kickstarter launch will have a lot more looks at the board game itself. The trailer was supposed to help establish the mood, teddy bears notwithstanding!
Thanks again!

You’re very welcome Steve. Obviously, you saw I was good natured teasing the video. Please let us know when the project launches so we can get a closer look at the game and share it with our audience.
Jeff,
The Kickstarter is in full swing, and we have lots of graphics and video up now beyond the original trailer. As of today, there are 2 different game play videos as well as short videos about specific event and strategy cards. We’ve also just added a new glimpse of the room sections on the game board.

Thanks!
