Hello all, I told myself I wouldn’t come back here until I had concrete news to report. As of tonight (well, I guess 4AM is technically morning) I have finished packing and stamping all packages from the newbie draw. I want to apologize to everyone who participated this time around as holding it this late in the year unfortunately ran me right up against the busy Thanksgiving/winter con season and subsequent prep. I failed to send them out when I wanted to, pre-Thanksgiving. I transported the wyrms and all their boxes and packaging from Pennsylvania to Indiana stuffed between cartons of books and t-shirt stock for MFF in an attempt to pack packages from there and ship them in some sort of hope that I’d have enough down time to not mess up anyone’s orders. Also failed there; the idea that I'd have free time before or after one of the biggest cons of the year was kind of laughable in hindsight, tbh. So glad I could drive six little empty cardboard boxes across four states and back. Worse, on top of that, I forgot to bring the cards for the wyrms and had been gone from home so long that I can’t remember where I put them, as I had had them set aside specifically for the batch so I wouldn’t have to dig through my pack of cards yet again to find them all. If/when I find the cards I will be shipping them separately at my own expense.
So after all this, I decided to include a special “thank you” gift in each box that I am now shipping out, and I think it’s still early enough that they should be arriving in time for Christmas. They are all unique wyrm-related surprises and they are a token of appreciation for people having been patient with me trying to orchestrate my one-man band career and juggling the newbie draw at the same time. I do think however that this will be my last newbie draw for some time. I’m not happy with causing anyone stress over what's supposed to be a fun game and I don’t blame people for being upset (I’m upset at myself as well), so for that I want to apologize, and this is why I will be bowing out for a while. By now you should have received your tracking numbers via Paypal e-mail. Thanks for participating and enjoy your new babies. Share photos and have fun with them!
