Whatevers cheapest. I usually have no issues with USPS, and things shipped from Missouri will arrive within 2-3 days. UPS guy knows me well. Fedex is always a mystery.
PoT -did you settle the location issue with your party?
Powers of Tesla 2015-03-29T10:42:50-04:00
It looks I now have two parties. One at the Gaming Goat on the 11th, and one at Maximum Distractions on the 18th. I'm waiting on confirmation for the second arty. Max Distractions was the last minute entry from Chicago. I wanted to help 'em out.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-29T10:43:31-04:00
@PoT, first, do you wish to get some of the pens, if so, how many, and then, I'd need your mailing address. We're trying to get them out to all before their playtest parties.
that's really nice of you! glad you'll get to have two! And i hope gaming goat still works out despite the slight drama.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-29T10:44:27-04:00
At least tot he KC members ... PoT, Creeper, LZ -- it remains to be seen if Guardian could get them fast enough across the border, and then Juha in Europe is likely too tight time-wise
i know not many of you will care- but a dozen eggs are 90 cents at target, and this made my day every exciting. Go get your egg on.
Powers of Tesla 2015-03-29T10:45:50-04:00
GCoD. How much are the pens and what type of quantity do I need to purchase? Do they have the website address on them?
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-29T10:47:20-04:00
LZ had wanted pens, but the minimum order $$ was too high (at least for his wife to sign off on it. So I volunteered to order then send them out. We're getting 300 pens. I think LZ wants 75, Creeper 50 or so ... any extras I'll sell off later ... maybe in bags of ten pens to spread shipping over more pens?
Powers of Tesla 2015-03-29T10:48:56-04:00
Also GCoD. Do you have a KC email? If yes what is the first part of the address?
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-29T10:49:28-04:00
The pens are about 39 cents each now, I popped for the FedEx two day so they get to me in time -- I'll cover that for the KC members ... same for shipping to KC test site hosts.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-29T10:50:25-04:00
then it is just a matter of how many you think you want.
The pens will say:
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-29T10:50:42-04:00
they are green pens with white text, with black ink cartridges
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-29T10:52:15-04:00
@PoT, I should have a KC address, but I have never gotten any mail via it, so just use my regular one ...
jbsaxton aol.com
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-29T10:52:47-04:00
we'll work out payments via paypal once they arrive and they are sure of being there for your events.
Powers of Tesla 2015-03-29T10:52:54-04:00
I'll pop for 100. I'm pot@.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-03-29T10:54:29-04:00
Wow someone still uses aol....
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-29T10:54:36-04:00
100 for PoT then ...
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-29T10:55:37-04:00
now to track down Guardian. I just worry about getting them through US/Canadian customs in time ... unless he has a US PO box like some Canadians do if they are close enough to the border.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-29T10:56:57-04:00
Just drop me an email with your address, PoT ... then I'll send the stuff on. The pens had a rush fee for three day turnaround, and we ordered on Friday, so I assume they might ship on Wednesday or Thursday, which with two day FedEx to me, puts them here Friday or Saturday.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-29T10:58:21-04:00
Yep, my AOL dates back to 1994 or so, and folks anywhen in the hobby can still track me down ... I still gets emails asking about my old newsletter, my kit production, or just "hey, remember me"? so I am loathe to get rid of the email address.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-29T10:59:02-04:00
it's a free email now, and hardly much worse in terms of garbage to wade through than gmail or yahoo or some ISP email
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-29T11:06:32-04:00
I've got your email, PoT .. thank you. Hmmm, if you three account for 225 of the pens, there won't be many extras if Guardian asks for them ... which is kind of nice so I can get rid of the rest ... maybe in time CB will design a nice pen for KC use ... this one will just be an expediency to get stuff on the table at the playtests.
Powers of Tesla 2015-03-29T11:07:23-04:00
Have some fun with 'em Creeper. Next time you get one of those emails tell 'em "Well, I USED to be Melissa, now I go by "Mel" and see what kind of response you get.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-29T11:07:25-04:00
Though if they should prove popular, re-orders could be done ... and with no shipping imperatives, they'd be a hair cheaper for normal stocking.
Powers of Tesla 2015-03-29T11:40:00-04:00
Does anyone know how to create a Google map with locations pinned? Like the one that was made for the Kitten Corps? I was thinking it would be nice to have one like that for the Kitten Consul Parties, to help people find find one nearby. But I cannot figure out how to create one.
I would be down to have a few of the basic pens and Maby pay a bit more for a nice KC pen or 3 ... Need some new DnD pens lol
Powers of Tesla 2015-03-29T12:12:45-04:00
Thanks Potatten! I'm on it.
Powers of Tesla 2015-03-29T15:10:49-04:00
Is CB around?
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-29T15:42:33-04:00
I got a PDF of the EP cards. The whole thing.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-29T15:49:33-04:00
It looks like it would be a fun game to play drunk; not so much if you're sober.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-03-29T16:26:24-04:00
Good day everyone! Ok, goodbye.
We're having some friends over who are making great mexican food, we're making german stuff, and our exchange student is making japanese food. Sooo much food! Too bad spring break is over today.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-03-29T16:27:03-04:00
And because of the party thing, not sure if I'll get on for another long time, so, like I said, goodbye for now.
Juha-Pekka Ahonen 2015-03-29T16:30:11-04:00
GCoD, yeah I pop in and out once in a while, when I can kinda busy with my thesis as I have only a bit over week to finish it. If you want to ask about pens, I'm actually too broke to get em, especially as shipping here won't be as cheap as shipping within states also time wise probably won't make here in time... But thanks for the offer
Juha-Pekka Ahonen 2015-03-29T16:30:58-04:00
Also did you guys see the photo on Exploding Kittens Facebook, you can see the little boxes they have made. I'm quite exited about them.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-29T16:37:50-04:00
Juha, those are the Kitten Consul packages. It looks like ten decks in each plastic package. I bet that means we get TEN DECKS!!!
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-03-29T16:38:52-04:00
Wow how many decks are being sent to each person.....
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-03-29T16:41:40-04:00
If we say 30 people and looks like that is 10 decks a sleeve 21 sleeves ....7 decks each???
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-29T16:47:21-04:00
There are probably more than 30 people, though. So then, if they only got the one box, then it would be 5-7 decks each. Still a bunch. I'm excited
The consul party kits look great & it's cool KC is helping out with pens.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-03-29T16:57:54-04:00
Hey come to Iowa when your done and have one here lol
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-29T16:58:13-04:00
And to answer your unanswered question, Explaitten, it's the same art he showed before.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-03-29T16:58:29-04:00
I should have down a video since no one here did ....
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-29T16:58:56-04:00
Hmmm, Iowa isn't in an easy driving distance like the two cities I'm doing the parties in are. I'll see what I can do.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-03-29T16:59:10-04:00
Haha is it really LZ
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-03-29T17:00:04-04:00
I should have had one in Ames ......
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-29T17:00:26-04:00
Yup. And there are 8 cards that do absolutely nothing.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-03-29T17:00:48-04:00
That is amazing.....LOL
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-29T17:01:42-04:00
And there are a bunch of the "truth or dare" style cards. Like I said, it would probably be lots of fun if you're drunk...
Kyle Capizzi 2015-03-29T17:02:06-04:00
How can it be there is not a Washington state play test? Can Matt do some kind of animal fundraiser so we can all test?? More money for a good cause, moar fun for all... Happy to help organize...
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-03-29T17:03:10-04:00
Yah but that guy would never pull off a full game
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-29T17:05:53-04:00
There will be one in Portland, Or, if that's any consolation.
Powers of Tesla 2015-03-29T17:06:31-04:00
I asked Bella how many decks to expect. She told me four.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-29T17:07:32-04:00
We still have the drinking version up don't we? If not we need a drinking version for EP so better get cracking.
Count me out though. I've never played a drinking game except my attempt on the day of EP where I missed the rules for when to "stop". And even then it was a small sip or two of wine. LOL
Stephan Bedford 2015-03-29T17:27:09-04:00
Hi Guys!
now that I am back online, if its not too late and you wanted someone that could help with the playtesting, I noticed you don't have anyone in New Zealand. I would be keen to be one if you wanted :)
Powers of Tesla 2015-03-29T17:27:38-04:00
I made a Google map of all Kitten Consul parties. Can anyone or everyone see it? Does anyone have suggestions to improve it?
Wow one of the consul parties is pretty close to me. I think it's a Friday/Shabbat though so I probably can't go. Close enough to drive. Too far to walk.
Powers of Tesla 2015-03-29T18:36:14-04:00
Thank you Tasha. Which game is close to you?
Derek West 2015-03-29T20:24:58-04:00
Sweet two days of play testing EK! 2 locations within 10 miles of me. :)

Nathan Barnes 2015-03-29T20:25:55-04:00
Will there be a survey sent out to backers for this?
Powers of Tesla 2015-03-29T20:30:04-04:00
Nathan. Yes. Closer to the release date, currently scheduled for sometime in July.
Shante Henry 2015-03-29T20:32:36-04:00
Hello everyone. I just did an update on my story. Gofundme.com/n5f010
Hope everyone is well. Either kickstarter eats my comments or i hit dead spots in here lol.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-03-29T21:30:01-04:00
Oh God, too much food. I've been in pain for the last like hour and a half because we had too much good food. A friend made mexican food, we made german, and our exchange student made japanese. 10 people only went through probably 65-70% of it all. I had way too much. The pain. It's unbearable.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-03-29T21:31:16-04:00
But soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o worth it!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-03-29T21:33:45-04:00
Once I can do more than just roll from place to place, I'll be able to go back to my dorm. Then I can get on like normal again.

Morning, cane! how is your sunday?
Coffee is hot, computer is on ... that's about it for today. Looks like the weather will be good though.
I got your email Creeper, so that's set once the pens arrive ... do you have a preference for delivery service? USPS, UPS, FedEx?
Is Juha still in here?
Whatevers cheapest. I usually have no issues with USPS, and things shipped from Missouri will arrive within 2-3 days. UPS guy knows me well. Fedex is always a mystery.
it was snowing last night here! I was pointing my angry fist at the sky. But the kitties have some sun today to bathe in. How's Rowena?
I'm back
FYI - my party moved to the 8th of April, i know that's a little close. But even with 2-3 day, if you shipped on Monday, it should arrive no problem.
Okay, no FedEx for you, I'll send UPS or USPS -- though UPS likely is a bit quicker
Rowena is a bundle of warm fur, sitting on the side desk napping ... as usual
PoT, had you seen the pen conversations?
Just looked back a bit GCoD. What are you looking for from me re: pens?
Thank you again for doing this! And give some love to Rowena :)
PoT -did you settle the location issue with your party?
It looks I now have two parties. One at the Gaming Goat on the 11th, and one at Maximum Distractions on the 18th. I'm waiting on confirmation for the second arty. Max Distractions was the last minute entry from Chicago. I wanted to help 'em out.
@PoT, first, do you wish to get some of the pens, if so, how many, and then, I'd need your mailing address. We're trying to get them out to all before their playtest parties.
that's really nice of you! glad you'll get to have two! And i hope gaming goat still works out despite the slight drama.
At least tot he KC members ... PoT, Creeper, LZ -- it remains to be seen if Guardian could get them fast enough across the border, and then Juha in Europe is likely too tight time-wise
i know not many of you will care- but a dozen eggs are 90 cents at target, and this made my day every exciting. Go get your egg on.
GCoD. How much are the pens and what type of quantity do I need to purchase? Do they have the website address on them?
LZ had wanted pens, but the minimum order $$ was too high (at least for his wife to sign off on it. So I volunteered to order then send them out. We're getting 300 pens. I think LZ wants 75, Creeper 50 or so ... any extras I'll sell off later ... maybe in bags of ten pens to spread shipping over more pens?

I still have my aol email from 94! I still use it too. :) I get the same "is this still Melissa?" Emails
HUZZAH to GCoD!
lol Creeper.
I've got your email, PoT .. thank you.

Well EX did it. It's a shared uneditable version of regular pinned google maps.

I'm sorry Stephan. All the parties have been awarded.
@PoT looks great man good job
Thank you Doc. No suggestions for improvement?
New update about the Kitten Consul parties is up.
LOL I must mean EK.
The map looks great.
Wow one of the consul parties is pretty close to me. I think it's a Friday/Shabbat though so I probably can't go. Close enough to drive. Too far to walk.
