Week in Review:

Saturday: Kickstarter campaign for my game goes up. Rocking first day.

Sunday: Sign on for an evening as a bureaucrat of time travel. Drag obd along.

Monday, Tuesday: Learn a few hard lessons in marketing

Wednesday, Thursday: Hop a flight down to LA. Camp out with Allan Amato and hammer out issues with the card backs and map shape in Lyssan. Catch up with ZakSabbath when he comes over to help us test the map.

Friday: Burn-out zombie-time. Watch my Kickstarter's marketing statistics in a stupor. AcidGrampa catches up with me over lunch and inflicts a nap on me for health and safety.

Saturday: Catch up with alpha-tester Joyce and work out a series of how-to illustrations to go in the Lyssan directions. Joyce has played a ton of games in the alpha and understands well enough to frequently win, so she's the perfect cartoonist to help explain the game. Afterwards: Port, cheese, and flatbread while listening to the symphony in the park.

Sunday: Do safety-monitor duty for SF's annual Pride parade. Repeatedly herd the same six ice cream vendors out of the way of the parade while shouting at people that they are approaching real live traffic and to please make their way to a real live sidewalk before they get hit by a real live car. While smiling, to defuse the yelling. Get home mid-afternoon, shower, collapse asleep.

Today: Back to artists, and printing quotes, and beta tester feedback.
