Crescendo

Paul is back from France.

The Wife is back from her week-long work trip.

So things are returning to normal.

But it's UK Games Expo week.

So not yet.

And it's half-term, so the kids are off school.

We've got three days to get everything together, then we're off.

Paul has cut all the stock we're taking.

But still has to box it all up.

I've ordered all the printing we need from the printers.

Business cards.

Gal4Xeon tasters.

Posters.

And the dashboards and rules for the next FlickFleet print run.

Which can't wait until the next Gamefound campaign - we're running very low.

I've got to collect them on Wednesday.

And then Paul and I will meet up the night before we go to exchange materials again.

Then home again, and then off the next morning.

I'm excited to see how this year goes.

UK retail sales are down because of the cost of living crisis, exacerbated by the war in Iran.

But we've got a fantastic stand near the front of Hall 2 (2-622 if you're coming!).

So traffic should be good at least.

Fingers crossed for a good show...

Progress

The Wife is in The Netherlands for seven days.

So I'm solo parenting.

Paul's still in France.

So I'm fulfilling web orders.

Oh, and I might have broken a toe yesterday.

But I'm getting loads done regardless.

Gal4Xeon has been fulfilled.

It's up on the website now for anyone who missed the campaign.

Xeno Flicks 2 is in very early preview.

We're re-ordering FlickFleet before then, as we're likely to run out soon after the Expo.

I've been ordering rules, dashboards and boxes.

And posters and business cards for the Expo.

There's loads to do.

But I feel like I'm on a roll at the moment :)

Busy

Paul’s on (a well-deserved) holiday.

He’s been working crazy hours on Gamefound fulfilment.

Immediately followed by making stock for the UK Games Expo before his holiday.

He’s in France now, getting some gaming in.

While he’s away I’ll be covering shipping for the website orders.

And I'm getting ready for the Expo too.

We need a load of stuff printed.

That I need to do the design for.

And I’ve a VAT return to do.

Plus finishing the Gal4Xeon rules (almost done!) and fulfilling that.

And I’ve started on the next FlickFleet campaign page.

For the last couple of months I’ve been meeting my buddy Joe (of Word Dungeon fame) for playtesting on Monday afternoons.

I fear that’ll have to wait until after the Expo now.

He’s busy anyway though, with a new campaign for the excellent Word Dungeon live on Backerkit at the moment.

New!

This will be brief today.

It’s a bank holiday in the UK, so the kids are off school.

And it’s our wedding anniversary.

But I had a new game idea on Thursday.

Got to try a bit of it yesterday.

Needs some work.

But I think it has potential.

I’m also doing a VAT return and finishing off Gal4Xeon.

And the UK Games Expo is at the end of the month.
