      The drives did. That's strange. I got a couple back. Let me look at yours. Worst case scenario, I'll toss you another.

      David, have these shipped already? I haven't heard anything about the flash drives, which was my backing level.

      Michael:

      Thank you very much. I'm flattered and excited about the buzz it's gotten. I really hope it lives up to the expectations.

      I'm extra pleased, because this is going to guarantee I have the money to actually get it out there and promote in a more monetary sense.

This is the Super Special Friend of Machine Age Productions™ level contributor. You get the full $150 package, including canonization in a Maschine Zeit product, flash drive, color copy, pdf, t-shirt, all that jazz. Also, drinks are on us. By that, I mean, Machine Age Productions will take you to dinner and drinks. If you're in the Philly metro area, that's super easy to arrange. Otherwise, we'll make it happen at any one of the many conventions we attend. 2010, we have all intention of hitting up PAX Prime, Origins Game Fair, Gen Con Indy, and a handful of other conventions. Dinner won't be five star, but the place must at least have Sam Adams on tap for my consideration.

Connected as Filamena Young (121 friends)

Filamena Young is a game designer and writer. She and her partner David operate Machine Age Productions, an independent game publisher with some left leanings and a lot of opinions.

She's also a mother of two, (with a third on the way,) and a big advocate of bringing games to the next generation of gamers. Young Adults and Kids can get a lot out of gaming, and making games for them as well as adults drove her to this, her first solo project.

In the past she's written for White Wolf, Catalyst, Green Ronin and many other game-centric locations like the Escapist. (Freeplay and Child Gamers, read it here. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_206/6171-Roleplaying-Free-Play-and-the-Preschool-Gamer )

She's an advocate of inclusion in gaming for everyone, women, players of color and the whole spectrum of loving relationships, and hopes this project's focus leaves room for lots of different players.
