Zombieland is a great movie
Figured I could use some inspiration as I worked on Dead Reign™: Dark Places™ and went to see Zombieland. If you like zombies and especially if you liked Shaun of the Dead, you will LOVE Zombieland. I did, and recommend it highly.
Going to the movies was a nice break for me. I think we are all feeling a bit fatigued and a little stressed out, but moving forward and feeling generally positive.
Dead Reign™: Dark Places™
Dead Reign™: Dark Places™ is coming along well, though a bit slower than I’d like. There are all kinds of new source material and adventure ideas, and I think it will give gamers some new ideas and perspective about surviving the Zombie Apocalypse. The cover is amazing and the interior art coming in rocks.
Weekends sales are off to a sluggish start.
Just as I feared might happen, weekend sales have dropped from the last two weeks, but are still much better than they were. I’ll have to give more thought to bringing Wayne Smith back on Monday, even though he is itching to get back to work.
Christmas Surprise Packages
Christmas Grab Bag orders continue to come in at a steady pace. I think we are up to 130 now. I've spent hours going over all the requests and determining who gets what. Soon it will be time to pull, pack and ship 'em out. People are gonna love 'em.
Kathy’s sold five ghouls this weekend
Actually, four are “special orders” from a city in Georgia that wants her to make FOUR Happy Scarecrows as part of their Halloween display in the town square. Is that cool or what!? Meanwhile, there have been a lot of hits on all her items in her Queen of Ghouls Ebay store and she got another special request from a local woman. I suspect items will be selling fast as people get into the Halloween spirit.
Plugging away
I’m spending the entire weekend working away on Palladium Projects. Spent the morning doing Grab Bag sketches. The afternoon helping out Kathy, and the evening writing Dead Reign™. Figure I’ll knock off around 9:00 or 10:00 PM and get back in early Sunday morning. Zombies, zombies everywhere . . .
