Update - trying to get back on the Update schedule
about 6 years ago – Mon, Mar 12, 2018 at 11:01:42 PM

Hello
So last update was a week late.  I had been sick the weekend that it was due to be posted and it totally threw off my internal calendar, so I thought I was still on schedule when I posted last weekend.  I am feeling much better now though.
So there is no news yet from the printers as of the status of the game, but we will keep you updated as we learn more details.

I am still looking up North American based miniature manufacturers, so if anyone has any suggestions, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Hello everyone. 
Sorry for the inconsistency of the updates.  I am doing my best to get them out regularly, but I am still only human.  Future updates are going to be every 2 weeks, give or take a few days to account for life.

So, as stated previously, the game was on schedule to be printed after the Chinese New Year break, which if my understanding is correct, should be any time now.  We will keep you posted on that.

Also, thanks to the hard work of Gianlucca Casu, the PnP was compiled and formatted.  We are just waiting on Mike to review and share the link.  More info on that as it progresses.

Last update we talked about the possibility of a kickstarter campaign to raise money to do a run of miniatures that would allow us to also fill the existing orders from you, our Whelps to Wyrms backers.  There seems to be a fair bit of support from you for us to do that.  Currently, I am researching some more local (North American) based miniature producers.  If anyone has any suggestions send us a link to the company and we will look into them as a possibility.  I have a list already started.

Finally to everyone who is telling us to just drop things (bags, 3rd coin design, etc) at this stage in the game (the coins have been produced for months), it would cost more then it saves, and likely cause more delays as things will need to be re-quoted and we would loose our spot in the queue.  We appreciate the offer, but realize there is more to it then it way seem.

Printing Schedule
about 6 years ago – Mon, Feb 05, 2018 at 11:04:54 PM

Good day everyone.

We got our spot in the printing queue!  Whelps to Wyrms will be printed once the manufacturers get back from their New Years Holiday.  So this is good news.
Now the bad. We have enough money currently for the printing, minus the mini's, but we are not sure if we will have enough for shipping out the games.  Mike is going to be talking with the accountant about the possibility of selling shares in the company.  All who have backed at the mini level would receive shares as a credit for the minis until something is figured out with production for them.  This would allow those who have shares to have a say in some of what the company does.  This is all in the early phases of planning, so bear with us.  I, myself, am being paid only in shares for the company.

What are your thoughts.  And please, be civil.
