So I haven't posted in a while, and I don't want anyone to think I'm not active. The truth is that I have been very active in the design/redesign department. Most of it is now through the photography stage so it's just a matter of time before I get it posted.

I've got... giant snakes, amphipteres, a complete drow overhaul, animal companions, trolls, more giant frogs, a complete mermaid-triton overhaul - and that's just the stuff that has made it through photography. I have over double that being processed right now. I finally completed a griffon last week, and I'm almost done with lamias (lamiae?).

And as always, there will be all kinds of PC parts added haphazardly whenever I can. Happy Gaming!

So on one hand  I'm super bummed that I have not been adding new parts and pieces to the site as planned since last month.

However, I have been restocking like a crazy person! In the past 3 weeks I have restocked over 500 products.

500!

That's a gigantic amount. And now that I am pretty much done with that, I will start adding new things again, as I continue restocking. So hang in there - new stuff is absolutely positively coming!

12/8 UPDATE: 700!

October is going to be even better than September. 10 new additions per day, every single day. Guaranteed.

It's crazy to me to think that this site already has over 5000 pieces on it. It's even crazier to think that by adding 10 new pieces every day this month, that Sept/Oct will be 500+ new pieces which means that I have expanded my products by 10% in two months.

And I'm not done yet! Nope. It's too soon to say, but it appears as though I will be able to ramp this up to 15 per day in November, for a target of 1000 new products by Dec 1st, which is a 20% expansion in just three months.

BAM!

I'm sorry for the delay in releasing new items! I'm trying so hard and life just keeps stealing my time from me. There are so many cool things I want to release and life just won't let me. This week my daughter tried to break her wrists while dancing. Severe sprains and 2-3 weeks at least to heal. Ugh. I still got 20 new heads up and 50 other items back in stock, but it isn't enough.

Does anyone want to babysit my 7 year old so I can get some work done? ;)

So there is a TON of new stuff that will be listed this month, but first and foremost I want to make sure my inventory levels are correct, so I will be restocking as much as possible from September 4-7.

After the restocking period is over, I should be able to list about 500 new things this month. I always make grand plans that fall a bit short, but this time I really think that I might hit my target! Even if I don't, I will still list a MINIMUM of 250 new products this month, including at least 10 new monsters, at least 6 new cape colors, and just a ton of minifigure pieces and accessories.

Stay tuned! This will be one of the most interesting months we've had in a long long time!

I have had a secret for the past year. I have been simultaneously running Adventure Bricks while also finishing my basement. And it was hard. There was never enough time and energy, and it's been a major struggle. But it's done now. And so now I have SPACE. Also, I have had to watch my son all summer long, and since he is only 7 it also cut into my time in a major way. But in 2 weeks he goes back to school, which will make my schedule a lot less complicated.

So I will have SPACE, and I will have TIME. I don't think I've ever had both before! Also, I have been on a huge creative streak recently and I have crossed off 10 of the remaining monsters in the MM, which now leaves me with only about 50, about 10 of which are already in progress. I just need TIME to get to the photography, so when September rolls around, I will be hitting the gas pedal and there should be HUGE amounts of new parts and pieces and also new monsters being released.

I don't know if I can get the MM done by Jan 1, but I am going to try to complete every non-gigantic creature by then. For those who are curious: Myconid Sovereign, Incubus, Succubus, Gnolls, Giant Frogs, Giant Toads, Giant Bats, Giant Weasels, Phase Spiders, Perytons, and Chuul are now done. Drow are on the edge of a complete overhaul,and the carrion crawler and otyugh are almost done.

The brilliant minds at the USPS got rid of First Class, but they never bothered informing small business owners. As a consequence, tens of thousands of websites are fouled up right now and don't have First Class shipping services. I just found out about this today, and it should now be fixed. First Class is now USPS Ground Advantage, and this website should now be calculating shipping properly again for small orders. We are sorry for any trouble this may have caused over the past week.

Also, we are still rolling with the new updates! We have 50 more new capes to put up this week, and I just finished some Myconid Sovereigns! yay!

Every time I post something, my life goes insane and then I always fall short of expectations. So here we go again.

20 new capes added today. We'll see if I can keep it going, with some new monsters sprinkled in. I'm not going to hype it beyond that, since it never ends well when I do. ;)

Sorry for the lack of new stuff! In a word: infrastructure. I spent most of May upgrading my website software, updating my inventory, and doing construction on my basement. So now I have faster/better software, more stuff back in stock, and more importantly - more storage! Hopefully June will be more like May was supposed to be!

March is impossible, since I play in an Irish band. April is full of taxes. BOO!

But now I'm done, and I am very excited for April-May. I already managed to get the new black 'elf hair' completed with 12 different ear colors, and I have 'orc hair' and 'cat hair' being produced right now as well. Also, there's finally a chance that some 'long legs' might get here in May. Will life finally cut me a break and stay out of my way? Stay tuned!
