Just took a quick looksee to see what is missing. Overall, not too bad.

• GURPS Autoduel
• Car Wars Arena Book
• GURPS Zombiedown U.S.A.
• The Best of Autoduel Quarterly V1
• The AADA Vehicle Guide

I think most folks can live without the GURPS stuff, but for me, what is a little bit jarring is the exclusion of the The AADA Vehicle Guide, despite this being in stock.

It's basically an incomplete expansion as it stands. :/ You got the vehicles, but not the driver's manual unless you get the PDF.

I am speculating that things didn't quite go to plan with the pocket box Kickstarter, and I guess we're lucky that a decent number of items are now showing up on w23 at all. I've been trying to get the Ogre and Car Wars items after having missing the KS, and while it seems I'll be able to get most, the missing Ogre pocket box is a bit annoying. Not much point for me to get GEV and the expansions without the original game.

Phil said something about the Ogre bundle being available for next year's pocket box kickstarter as an addon. It's quite limited though and first-come-first-served.

I am unsure of what would make you think this, but the project did quite well. So well, in fact, that we've been working on a second Pocket Box campaign for 2021.

Skipping one of our Kickstarter projects means possibly missing out. With the current state of the market, some projects are not designed around keeping hundreds or thousands of copies in the warehouse.

Consider my speculative comments purely a reflection of a fan's frustration on being so far unable to snag various items after missing a Kickstarter...looking forward to Pocket Box KS #2 at any rate.

Groovis -- now to pick up a Trapper Keeper for modification[*], and I can re-create my full-'80s look. :)

We highly recommend joining in Kickstarter campaigns if you want the items we are producing. Having hundreds or thousands of extra copies of some titles simply is not good for the business these days.

Where possible, we have held back some titles to offer in the 2021 Kickstarter campaign for those who missed out. Following our Kickstarter accounts is one good way to receive notice of new projects.

Hey Phil,
Have you guys thought about print on demand? easy to have the pdf files and then only print as you get orders or let someone else do the printing and shipping for stuff.
