Work begins on the cover for Dinocalypse Now, Evil Hat Productions' first foray into fiction. Evil Hat's Fred Hicks describes Dinocalypse Now as "a novel - possibly the start of a trilogy if it is well-received - set in the Spirit of the Century universe, as psychic dinosaurs from the distant past try to take over the present and rule the future. Chuck Wendig will be writing this one, with the pulp action and strange science dials cranked to eleven. Expect to see the heroes from Race to Adventure! put in an appearance, including our game’s classic love triangle, Jet, Sally, and Mack."
