Why am I Not Sleeping?!

Wait a second. The premiere is past and it was wonderful. A huge success by all accounts. But while we were pushing toward that all-important March 29 date, we all kept saying, "Just a few more days! We can sleep afterwards!"

It's 3:00 in the morning. Why am I awake?!

Because I just sent the first card in the "Ghost Sniffers" Ttading Card Roleplaying Game off to the printer, that's why.

Actually... it was the first two cards :)

If you've ever attended a SF or gaming convention, you're familiar with the idea of bag stuffers. These are cool freebies that come in your member bag when you sign in. If you're lucky, there's a free book, or comic, or limited edition badge.

Well... 180 of the attendees who come to the Black Wolf Paranormal Haunting for Hope event on April 14 will be lucky enough to receive one of two limited edition, numbered variant cards for the "Ghost Sniffers" TCRPG coming out this summer. The cards feature an animated-style Forge wearing a Black Wolf Paranormal t-shirt and are fully playable cards. The cards are mounted on cool flyers announcing the series and pulling out Maxo, Spark and others... and inviting everyone to the panel at 5:00.

When will other limited edition cards be released? At what events will attendees be given these rare, free treasures? Are there ways to earn variant cards like awards for phenomenal dedication to the series? Hm... who knows ;)

Only time will tell. And right now? It's time to get some sleep :)
