Nothing like a bad cell-phone photo to inspire the masses. The printer just dropped off the first official BFP A & BFP B boards.

Let this statement inspire you though … They look awesome. The card stock is perfect, the size is perfect, the cut along the edges is right through the center dot on all 4 sides, the colors jump, etc.

The fold was backwards, but they will fold the rest the other way.

I just signed off on the final proofs of BFP A and BFP B. The colors, resolution, and artwork were all absolutely fantastic. I had to give both proofs back to the printer, but now I can’t wait to see them again.

I recently complained about printers in general, and ICI Printing was one of them. As the other 3 print companies continued to live up to their previous standards, ICI Printing won the job with excellent customer service and has done everything I asked and more. They pick up and deliver disks and proofs at my office, and the quality of printing is as good as I have ever seen, if not better.

With the fast turn-around promised by ICI, I think ITR will be shipping out next week. With their recent performance, I even have the confidence to make that statement public.

Chas posted a short blurb on the GameSquad ASL Forum yesterday as a hint that we were on the comeback trail. doesn’t take much for the ASL bloodhound network to catch the scent, and soon this site had been discovered, like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Messages jumped back and forth about the vague post, so Chas quickly issued another official announcement that Bounding Fire is back in business and Into the Rubble is available to be ordered.

I was in the process of getting all the ordering information in place, so it was a mad scramble to get it finished. The first order came bouncing into my mailbox minutes later. 12 hours later, things are looking very promising, especially as the European guys are waking up to the smell of a new ASL product and ordering away.
