Nothing really. We've met with some of the companies that we'll be
releasing new data files for later this year, and everything is on
track for those games. Beyond that, there is nothing new to report.
Lots of companies are not really "here" at Origins. They have demo
teams and someone to sell product, but the key people we would need to
talk with didn't come to the show. So there has been little progress
on new licensing deals. We made great headway on one new license, but
I can't talk about that until things are finalized. :-)

Plus you had some really cool polo shirts with the Herolab logo. I want one! :-)

Glad you liked them!!

If enough people want shirts, we can look into getting some made that users can obtain from us. But we would need to put together a large enough order to make the overall cost reasonable.

The shirts we were wearing in the booth were high quality polos with an embroidered logo. We can also do t-shirts with a silk-screened logo. How many folks would be interested, what type of shirt would you want, and what would you consider a reasonable cost? Once we have an idea of what people want, we can look into getting some quotes.

How about using something like the service provided by cafepress.com for t-shirts? Unless I'm mistaken, there's very little (if any) startup costs and the print-on-demand cost is just passed on to the customer.

I would think that Cafepress would be the way to go.

I'd love some t-shirts. Polo's aren't my favorite but t's, I'd be all over.

The demo at the booth was what sold me on HL for my M&M character gen.

Thanks much guys!

Cafe Press is a great idea. We're just buried right now with everything going on and we leave for GenCon tomorrow. Please bug us about this idea again at the end of August or early September. At that point, the dust should settle a little bit and we might be able to actually get something going for this. :-)

Thanks, Rob
