Rain-slick Precipice of Darkness Changes Media

The lightening bolt symbolizes being awesome.

That’s not to say that RSPoD alters media, but rather that it has entered a new medium. Developer Hothead Games recently dropped the Penny Arcade Adventures game to refocus on DeathSpank. It looked for a while like we’d never see closure for the Startling Developments Detective Agency. However, Penny Arcade co-creator Jerry Holkins is taking pen to paper for exactly that purpose.

Books are usually consigned to adaptations and extended cannon when it comes to video games, so it should be fun to see the synapse between interactive and passive media. Every Tuesday (more or less), you can catch the latest chapter behind this eldrich link.

Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness follows the adventures of the Startling Developments Detective Agency. The 1920′s men of action take fists and tommy guns to Elder Gods, usually with hilarious results.
