I apologize for not putting out an update sooner. We have had some big news in the meantime. First, some notes of thanks from our recipients. Kelly, the recipient of the Dark Heresy project says: "We are have had some great games since your support was received! The guys can't wait for the weeks end so that they can get somemore. That said I have failed to provide you with a picture as of yet and will in due time make good on it. I have one away on Leave and upon his return will make good. Thanks again so much for your support." Lou, the Wings of War recipient has this to say: "I just wanted to let you know that the package arrived today. It looks like everything is there, and intact. I'm busy today, so I won't get to the MWR tent to host a game tonight, but I will ASAP and send you some pictures to post on the website ... "Anyway, thank you again. On behalf of the guys out here in RC-E, we appreciate the support you've provided and look forward to hours of recreation and decompression!!!!" I have another fighter to send Lou and some 40K novels to send Kelly, so we're not done with these guys just yet. So, project updates: Darkest Africa - We have a recipient now! We just need our dutiful painter to finish up the figures and the pledged dice and other accessories and the project will be ready to go. Northwest Frontier - Recipient is also ready for this project. The pledged dice and accessories will put it over the top and it will be ready to go. Warhammer Fantasy - We need dwarves! If you know of someone who has some dwarves that need home, here's a good one. The greenskins are at the painters. Some terrain is needed, but dice and accessories are pledged. No recipient yet. Check Your 6! Jet Age - Terrain is at the painter, jets are in the pipeline. Mat, dice and accessories are in hand. No recipient yet, either. I was entertaining the thought of opening up to include board games the likes of Settlers of Catan, Carcassconne, Descent, Command and Colors, etc. What if we send a game of this ilk and then a card or dice game or two such as Guillotine, Fluxx or Munchkin to our recipients? This way, we can just accept donations without regard to matching them up to particular projects. The recipients can then just pick and choose from a menu of selections. So, that's it for now. If you have any suggestions, let me know. Thanks everybody, Jay |
