You Have Died Of Dysentery

The number one question I get asked when I tell people I’ve written a novel about the Oregon Trail is whether I’ve played the computer game. Of course I’ve played the computer game! Everyone has played the computer game!

That’s why as one of my Kickstarter rewards, you’ll receive a sweet t-shirt with a covered wagon on it that reads ‘You have died of dysentery.’ What better way to show your love for the Oregon Trail.

Here are some fun facts about the original game:

An estimated 100 million people have played the computer game at least once.

Of those 100 million, 99% of them have attempted to die on purpose.

60% of them had a character named Booger.

And here’s a video of someone playing the game. I can’t believe it’s gotten over one million views:

And perhaps you’d like to play right now. You can do so here.

So that’s Day 2 of Oregon month at the Chaos Factory. Please visit my Kickstarter and check out my novel, Quitting The Grave.

Check out Decater's new novel, available now at Amazon. Plus, don't forget his earlier books: Ahab's Adventures in Wonderland and Picasso Painted Dinosaurs.
