Kickstarter

Hey gang!

Look at me, it was yesterday I think that I said I may never talk to you again.  I'm like that wishy-washy boyfriend (or girlfriend  who breaks up with you and then the next day is desperately trying to get back together.

It's humiliating!

No, but seriously...

I just wanted to mention something that is kind of cool for the game.  It could really give it the next big boost it needs to be widely distributed into the hands of gamers such that it enable us to bring to you MORE in the way of expansions.  Not to say that there will be no expansions without this, but just speculating that more sales of the base game means more variety of expansions.

That said, as you know, we have extra Mad Men Cards left over from the printing.  And as you know, we are using these cards to help with Pre-Release sales of the game, as well as for promotional purposes in various ways (at Cons, etc etc).

Anyway...

Something interesting has come up that YOU might want to check out, not just because it involves Police Precinct, but also because it looks to be a very cool Kickstarter of it's own.

I'm talking about Tom Vasel's Dice Tower on KS, here is the link...

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tomvasel/the-dice-tower-2013

It is anchored by an actual Dice Tower, but it is also a basket of goods from all sorts of different sources.

You know Tom, he's pretty well connected (to say the least), so he has figured this whole thing out really well.

He will be making an announcement tonight that there will be one Police Precinct Mad Men card included in with every shipment going out to backers of the project.  There are 662 backers now, but by the end the number could be well into the thousands.  

As I said, this level of exposure could really help the game (Police Precinct) and all fans of the game.

Just a reminder...

We have committed to do everything in our power to NOT ever let anyone have a complete shrink wrapped deck of Mad Men cards given to them.  This is something that ONLY you, the Kickstarter backers, have been allowed to have.  I know some of you don't mind if we do allow this to happen (meaning having full decks going to non-KS backers), but we think it is best to keep YOU, the original backers, as an elite special group.

I'm sure there will be some people (non-KS backers) who are able to somehow cobble together a complete deck through various sources, but we don't want to make it easy for them.

Go Police Precinct!!!

Thanks Backers!!!

We here at CMG are very happy (and sad in a way) to report that...

The last shipment to a Kickstarter Backer has left the building!

This is of course great news, but the sad part comes into play because...

This might be our last update (ever or for a while).

We do want to let you-all know about our next big release when the time comes and to offer you some kind of a special deal on it.

Also, we figure you will want to know about expansions coming out for Police Precinct, and by the way, we plan on offering you a particularly great deal on those because you backed the base-game.

So with all that in mind, I'm sure you will be hearing from us again (just not so often as has been the case).

The other thing is that, I'm not 100% sure of how we will handle communications moving forward, but I am going to predict that it will be more of an email based approach (traditional email), rather than using the internal Kickstarter communication system.  with this in mind... 

If anyone does NOT want to hear about expansions, and special discounts, etc, please send an email to...

sales@commonman.com

Use this as the subject line...  

"please remove me from the Police Precinct Update list"

If we get any such emails, we will remove your address from the email update list.

Thanks, Karl Karl Fenner, Director Common Man Games Denver, CO USA karl@commonman.com www.commonman.com
