Evening Update

Two big updates for our incredible team out there :

1. 

In order to build buzz about the "Ghost Sniffers" Trading Card Roleplaying Game, we've decided to start giving away (yep, for FREE) limited edition variant cards at special events. Twenty of each card will, eventually, be offered for sale on the website but only for a premium price. These rare, numbered cards will be limited in quantity printed and they will never be packaged in any starter deck or expansion pack, nor will they be reprinted. Here is a partial list of events where variants cards will be given away as well as conditions that can be met to gain a free limited edition card:

--Event: Attend the March 29 premiere.
--Event: Attend the April 12 screening.
--Condition: Attend both the premiere and the screening.
--Event: Attend the Black Wolf Paranormal Haunting for Hope "Ghost Sniffers" panel.*
--Event: Appear in four or more episodes as any character.
--Condition: Register at the "Ghost Sniffers" wiki as a member.
--Condition: Print and send us the code certificate found on the flash drive tail of a Mini Boo.
--Condition: Become a $500 sponsor of any episode in the second half of Season 1.**
--Event: Boogie down, sing, act or rap in the "Wish Maker" music video.
--Condition: Sell ten or more tickets to the April 12 screening.
--Condition: Donate or organize the donation of a location used in an episode.

*There are two variants available at this event packed into attendees welcome bags by the event staff.
**Sponsors at this level are written into the script for the episode they have sponsored. The limited edition card will feature their character.

Please keep in mind that meeting certain conditions may not be possible for every individual and may depend upon casting, availability, and other considerations.

Some of these events have already passed so we'll be awarding cards retroactively. Our first shipment of variant cards may actually miss the April 12 screening by 24 hours! Yikes! Other conditions are met online and cards are never sent as PDFs. To collect cards for past events you attended or for conditions fulfilled online, send a SASE (a self-addressed stamped envelope) to Ghost Sniffers Rare Card, Event/Condition: XXX, 7419 Ebbert Dr SE, Port Orchard WA 98367. Instead of "XXX," write the name of the event you attended or the condition you met. Examples:

Ghost Sniffers Rare Card
Event/Condition: Dual Ticket Holder
7419 Ebbert Dr SE
Port Orchard WA 98367

Ghost Sniffers Rare Card
Event/Condition: Registered on Wiki

P.S. Nope, we won't reveal WHO appears on each card... but we will whisper a few hints: Forge, Maxo, Spark, Harley, Maximilian, Hund, Mau, Reh, Potro, and Boo.

2.

Our acceptance as a television show series at IMDb has been approved and (as of two days ago) Brianne has meticulously entered all the information for Episodes 1 through 6, plus partial information for Episodes 7 and 10. Episodes which have not started shooting yet are not yet added to IMDb because they take data entry very, very seriously and don't want details added for planned productions -- just productions seriously underway. I appreciate the quality controls they have in place. IMDb must review and approve all information and they claim this takes two to six weeks. We'll see when the data she entered actually populates our profile. Very exciting :)

IMDb will actually cost $16/month but we know how vital it is to all of our actors who perform professionally. IMDb is the go-to database for actors and we want to help you increase your visibility. Adding a Season 1 image to the page will cost a one-time fee of $35 so we're waiting a little while to go ahead and do that until we have the funds.

On a related front, if you are an actor who wants to build his or her own profile (called a resume) on IMDb, you can do so here for free for two weeks. After that, it will cost you $16/month.
