Re: [piecepack] Piecepacks from Blue Panther?

["Ron Hale-Evans" <rwhe@...>]

It seems that Blue Panther is a game manufacturer and not just a copy
shop in wood. They're already producing a game system (Cubed) -- well,
technically, it's just a game because it only has one set of rules,
but it _wants_ to be a game system.

It would seem to be a no-brainer for him to produce a piecepack. With
over 150 games you can play with it, all he'd have to do is make the
pieces and point people to Piecepack.org. If he used the monochrome
JCD Piecepack, it could all be done with laser etching -- there'd be
no messing around with paint. It would look fantastic. And all the
Blue Panther games seem to cost around $20, so the price would be
competitive.

Jonathan, why don't you approach him about making the JCD Piecepack
one of the games he sells on his site?
