Re: [piecepack] Re: Plastic Color Piecepacks from BluePanther LLC



I know, Steve. Please don't misunderstand. I'm mostly kidding. I
really would like a "glowpack" and I really am designing a game for
one, but I'm not depressed about the plethora of options you have
available -- more like _elated_. That's why I'm running off at the
mouth about it -- that and the fact that when you've got a killer
cold, as I do right now, it's a lot easier to generate
semi-meaningful, semi-humourous blather than focus hard and do real
work.

As I said before, long may the Panther prowl.

I was just mentioning that a glow-in-the-dark piecepack is within the realm
of possibility.

I have not researched the cost, but it would be at least as much as the
plastic sets we're currently offering.  We'll see how plastic sets sell a
bit before adding yet another product to the line.

Maybe we'll make it a prize at the big cons - you know - something that you
couldn't actually purchase, but would have to win...  :=)

Clark tells me you are coming to Penguicon - is that true?
