Playmat work continues. I think that Spyke's shoes will stay red in all of them, because having them match the main color turned out to make them vanish into the general color wash. If they're red, they will stand out and emphasize the colors they contrast with.

I have asked Darryll about the feasibility of a quick poll on dice, just in case my color call was dead wrong.

The press run for the Big Box is going to be well north of 16,000, because there has been a lot of distributor interest! But of course the ones we make for regular retail sale will not come with the red playmat, the Hall of Fame, or the other backer-only goodies. We are back to "can we get all these into the building?" because it's twice the number that I had used in my calculations. What a wonderful problem to have!

More as it happens . . .
