I DO MY OWN STUNTS Update 11

 I DO MY OWN STUNTS Update 11

As the last day for backers (July 15th) quickly approaches, I begin the process of getting a quote from the printers. Getting all of the coimponent information into Excel takes a little time, and I just realized I didn't convert all of my measurements into mm, so I'll have to go back and do that!


I'm getting quotes for 75 and 100 copies of the game from four different printers - Gameland, Panda, Ningbo and EAStar. These are the printers who said they could do small print runs. 

 A RFQ (Request for Quote) should have all the components listed, their size, what material they are made from, what color they are, if there is anything special about them. You have to completely know your game - both from a design and components perspective - to complete one of these. 

As of this post, I have 69 (!!) backers, so I may or may not want to have some extra copies to sell at conventions and the such. I have decided I won't make more than 100 copies, so it will be a very rare game.


I've created a list of the components based on the playtests, and I think it's pretty close.  Depending on what the quotes come back as, I have a couple of ideas for upgrades in mind. I'll let you know more if it is feasible.

 To everyone who has backed the game, payment information will be send once I determine shipping costs. You'll be receiving a payment information email from me soon!

The final day to become a backer will be July 15th. We’ve passed my goal of 51 backers (woot!), so any extra will create better and more unique components! DM me to become a backer!

Speaking of unique components, backer Hardy LeBel is helping me experiment with unique meeples. Once we 3D print the design, we’ll see how well it rolls compared to the other styles.

Regardless of which form I use, they will have screen printing or heat transfer images on them to indicate a front and back.


I’m also starting on the box/meeple tower design. As requested by backers, I will be creating all of the game art. I guess I’d better start drawing!

Finally two local game stores (Geeky Teas & Games and BGE's Tabletop) will be carrying I DO MY OWN STUNTS. If you are a game store interested in making a retailer purchase (6 copies) please reach out to me before the deadline.
