The Christmas rush has still got me working ninety- and hundred-hour weeks, so I’ve gotten behind on answering e-mails. The one question that’s piling up more and more in my inbox is about when and whether BrikWars will have a print or PDF version ready for Christmas. The short answer is, probably not – I don’t have enough free hours in the next month to do all the necessary print layout work, and all the badgering of Wayne that I expect to make a part of that process. (Did I say badgering? I meant “consulting”). But I thought I’d talk about the plans currently in the works. I’ve laid out a list of the main bullet points and posted them to the Frappr forum. Also, Fryslayer made a post on Classic-Castle.com a few months ago about custom wargaming banners. These have been the topic of much behind-the-scenes discussion over here, especially as an attractive way to show unit stats or even as special Squad-buffing equipment items.

Christmastime is the busiest time of the year for those of us with jobs in the toy industry, which maybe goes partway to explaining why I’m two months behind in answering e-mails – sorry everybody! While I’m trying to work my way through the backlog, check out the latest entry in NELUG’s Year of BrikWars – a re-enactment of the Treaty of Versailles, except that this time it’s between the English and French and naturally everything goes horribly wrong. Also, for everyone writing in about how hard it is to find other BrikWars players in the area, I’ve started up a BrikWars Frappr map. Add a map pin to your location and see who else is around!

Halloween is always a special time of year for BrikWars. Besides being BrikWars’ birthday, it also means that it’s time for Shaun and Wayne to pull the big reveal on their annual BW:666 game. This year it’s the Pipton Farmstead Terrors, in which otherworldly creatures take a special opportunity to wipe out the last surviving participant from last year’s Brikington Manor Horrors. Halloween 2005 marks BrikWars’ tenth birthday, so that’ll make our upcoming book a special Tenth Anniversary Edition. Keep your eyes peeled.
