Breakneck Blitz: A new game on Kickstarter featuring skaters!

Hello! It has been a while since we last blogged, but Shove & Kisses has been all over the place. We are settling down now and have lots of exciting things happening which we will write about very soon. Right now we have been having lots of fun play testing and watching the kickstarter campaign created by British Briefs, a new gaming company. Their first game, Breakneck Blitz, is a game of arena combat, where cybernetically enhanced skaters duel it out in an endurance skate to the death! Rather like the origins of Roller Derby, where people used to skate in organised races and knock each other over.

The artwork for this game is brilliant and has a kind of 1980s sci-fi movie feel to it, drawn by the talented illustrator James Stayte. There are lots of cool characters and more keep getting unlocked. The best thing is the kickstarter pledges start at £2! It is a print and play game, so you are sent the game and the rules as PDF files via email. it is a real bargain. If you pledge more then you get even more incentives. 

Check out the campaign here:

Have a great week, guys and gals!

Shove It T-shirts available!

After the popularity of the Shove It cards and stickers we decided to see how the design would fare on a tee! It looks pretty sweet, I might have to wear this at the next bout! A very limited number of these will be available at the next bout on March 15th, but you can order them directly from us, just send an email enquiry to marisacherry@outlook.com and I will reply to you. 

Demoncon and Bootcamp!

Demoncon 9 was a small and friendly convention, it reminded me of the early cons I used to frequent when I first stepped into the small press scene some years back, before the madding crowds of MCM Expo and London Film & Comic Con. Having a table next to my KRG team mates was an added bonus, as they skated around the venue recruiting fresh meat for the rec league.

The highlight of the day (or rather, the month!) was attending the speed bootcamp run by Skate Britain. Reccies joined the ranks of main leaguers as Skate Britain showed us some techniques to help improve our speed and endurance. I got to partner up with my buddy Whackin' Phoenix, I had not skated with her since she went and crushed her minimum skills last year and she was brilliant. It was a lot of fun and with only one embarrassing tumble from me as I went flying forwards at a corner and skidded across the ground on my front - but that is just normal behaviour from me!

New Year! New Blog!

Welcome to the new blog of Shove & Kisses! This will be a place for us to promote the artwork and merchandise of the artists and also share a little derby love. We have lots of fresh ideas and plans for this year! 

Yesterday Shove & Kisses had a table at the Brighton Double Headers bout. The team celebrated their fifth birthday by taking on Team Dragon. It was a fantastic day with two amazing games to watch. The first bout was a mixed opener featuring skaters from local teams - Magicians Vs Clowns, and two of the Clowns were fellow skaters from Kent Roller Girls skating their first public game! It was a pleasure to watch Tenacious Deathwish and Mas-Sacrebleu kick some butt and speed along the track.

The weekend was a success and a lot of fun! The sun even came out in the morning while we took a leisurely stroll on the beach after an epic breakfast, Brighton is a great place to be. It has spurred us to attend more bouts and events and we have lots of cool ideas in progress. Exciting times, peeps!
