First, I wanted to tell people I've had all rulesets in anonymised HTML format for some time now, and am engaged in playing and judging them. Second, I added a...
Hey, the Icehouse folks build giant Icehouse sets to play with, right? http://icehousegames.org/wiki/?title=Giant_pieces Why not giant piecepacks? Let's assume...
Good idea :) What materials would you use to build it? For the coins box cardboard might me ok, but the tiles would neet to be more resistant (You want to be...
... [...] ... Ron, this would be outstanding! I don't know how you'd get all the bits here, but the con has a storage locker for safe keeping. Construction...
... Great! :) ... If I have time to make them, I'd probably ship them separately. I wouldn't want to have to take them on the plane. ... I don't think that...
... Vinyl Floor tiles are often sold in 8"x8" sizes with adhesive backs... 4 of those in a square glued to plywood or some type of foam may work well for the...
Unless you plan to play games like Everest where stacking tile into 3D shapes matters, I suggest that a thick cloth like canvus for the tiles. They would be...
I'm still not committed to making a giant piecepack for Penguicon, but I'm really happy people are showing such interest. So far, I like plywood best (for the...
Hi all, It just occurred to me that the piecepack would lend itself well to production on a cnc laser cutting machine, such as that used by Steve Jones of Blue...
A piecepack done with a laser cutting machine would be great. This is something I'd like to do myself but they're so expensive... The games on his site do look...
Speaking from 8 years of production experience, I'd suggest screen printing rather than painting. You can get some great ink adhesion on pretty much any...
It seems that Blue Panther is a game manufacturer and not just a copy shop in wood. They're already producing a game system (Cubed) -- well, technically, it's...
... Clark has suggested the same to me (before Christmas actually) and it is on my todo list... my freakin' huge todo list :( It would be super cool. JCD...
Thanks, Jonathan! That's so cool. The more manufacturers of the piecepack there are, the more the piecepack meme will thrive, and that's good for everyone...
Hi all (this is my first or second post), when I saw this thread I had a crazy idea: use something like fundable.org to get enough pledges/pre-orders for...
Coversations with Steve are going well, and it appears we are both excited about Blue Panther producing the JCDpiecepack. (He has added some teaser text to his...
I forgot to say: I find this very exciting. Do you know how long it typically takes Steve to go from graphic files to manufacturing? ... -- Ron Hale-Evans ......
For what it's worth, I'd like to see an acrylic set, which should eliminate some of the irregularities such as knots and unevenness of colour that sometimes...
Hi: This is Steve Jones (of Blue Panther LLC). Just joined your group this evening. Of course, the last few days of your group's discussion have been very...
Hi: This is Steve Jones (Blue Panther LLC) and the recent posts are, of course, of interest to us. First, let's answer a few questions... 1) Yup, we're...
I am a bit of a long-time lurker, and don't actually even own a piecepack, but I had some comments on this discussion... ... Great news. ... One concern I have...
... Yes. As much as I like my Mesomorph wooden Piecepack set, the Ace of Arms coin is double marked- the stamp on both sides is faint enough that it's obvious...
... That's sort of what I was saying earlier, Dan. Personally, I haven't found being able to tell pieces apart a big issue so far, because I mostly play...
... As others have said, this is exciting news. ... I think the birch will work fine, especially for a first go. With high-quality wood, I don't think the...
One solution to the question of wood grain would be to use painted wood. The colors would have to be relatively dark to overcome the grain underneath - if you...
Steve-- ... Excellent. If you're going to place Cubed into the public domain, this would be a good place to announce it or promote it. I'll also be running...
