Caltrops

I've been looking on the web for concept artists recently to do some artwork for our rulebook and to have items to post on my wall to hopefully help motivate me on to bigger and better things.  Or at least to remind me to stay the course.
As I've been doing so I came across a few artists on DeviantArt.com that I think could do a really good job and I've contacted one in Singapore named Kai (http://ukitakumuki.deviantart.com/) whose artwork I've referenced with a link at the bottom.  I'd like to someday meet him in person during my travels to a supplier in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
Another one I came across didn't have as much in their portfolio as Kai did, but it certainly got my attention and I coudl certainly invision the attached 3 pieces of art as a sort of a real life Caltrop piece if you kind of mixed the three:

They are all from the same artist who can be found at this link http://lucid-grey.deviantart.com/gallery/
Obviously mixing them into something with 3 legs would be a really great representation of the game piece as level one pieces.  For a level 2 piece I would add a large cannon, level three Surface to Air Missiles on its back and then jet propulsion for a level 4 Caltrop.
Any thoughts?

Phoenix Comicon

We're planning to attend Phoenix Comicon this year (May 24th - May 26th) to garner some more publicity.  We need to work out the logistics of the event as well as our presentation but think it should add a lot of value to our efforts up to this point.
Anybody else planning to attend or want to attend?

Calling all Aspiring Writers

We've got an idea we would like to run by people and see what kind of interest we get.  Our idea is to start a game review blog that we would also monetize and we would like to find any aspiring writers who are also game players to review games (usually will not be Prodigy Game Works games) and post their reviews. 
We would provide the games for you to play with friends and you could play them as much as you like but ultimately we would own them.  We figure we're getting games on occassion anyway to glean ideas from and we would like to put them to use as much as possible.
We are willing to pay a little money for each post and will likely share a percentage of any payments we get from Google for ad clicks.
Obviously, you would need to be local so we can share the games with you and we will give inputs on submissions but if you are interested we can start looking into the possibility.  Also, we may even make some Vlogs that could also be posted to YouTube.
Please contact us via a comment to this posting or email John at JBiggs@ProdigyGameWorks.com.

Generals of the Revolution Dice

We've been working to identify the right dice for "Generals of the Revolution" and think weve got the colors that we like.  (Sorry we couldn't get the d12 to load)

Thoughts?

Generals of the Revolution Game Piece Explanations

Further more ArmTors can carry (up to 2) Caltrops, Threshers can carry (up to 4 units) Caltrops, (up to 2) ArmTors, and (up to 2) Fight Kites and the Fight Kites can carry 2 Caltrops or 1 ArmTor.  The Thresher can carry mixed units, ie. 2 Caltrops and 1 ArmTor, etc.
Below is a player aid from the game:

Update

We are really getting motivated to get something done and make progress in 2012. As part of that motivation we plan to have at least weekly blog posts to share and inform. Please keep watching and we love seeing new followers to the site.
Tomorrow should be the big day!  We hope to hear back from PCM Molding with quotes for the game pieces.  We're eagerly awaiting what the numbers might be because this is likely make or break for us with relation to Generals of the Revolution.   We'll keep you updated. 

A Long Time...

It's been far too long!
Recently we've been prompted by tax time to get back in the game.  We started getting receipts and other items together for taxes and that's when the realization of how long it's been since we've done any significant work on any of our games and it pushed us into action.
While we've been doing more work in the past month than in most of last year, it was today that we took a small step forward towards getting Generals published.  We met with Phil Stewart from PCM Custom Molding about manufacturing our game pieces and he seemed genuinely excited about the opportunity.  Along with Plaztech, LLC, who creates the molds for him, we were able to make significant strides forward to get quotes for the pieces during a face-to-face meeting this afternoon.  There time and inputs were greatly appreciated and they have ideas to try and make the pieces as cost efficiently as possible while producing something that will be of good quality.  Both of which are obviously important to us.
They've committed to delivering quotes for the pieces by end of next week and we are pretty excited that we were able to find a local company to support us in the endeavor.
Now we have some real work to get completed:

1. Pricing for other game pieces
• Cards (we have one quote and hope to find something a bit cheaper)
• Serrated Chips and Leader Puck
• Game Board Pieces
• A publisher for the Money
• Dice (Again we have a good quote from Chessex for these but if we can find cheaper, then all the better)
• Army Markers & Resource Numbers
2. At some point in, hopefully, the near future we will need the Rulebook created and printed as well as the Box and insert
3. Most of all we need to get the fun part started again and get Playtesters.  Soooo, if you know people willing to travel to the QC to play we would love to hear about it or we could look at putting games together elsewhere if enough people we willing to give us time.

#3 is pretty critical since we really need to polish the rules to a final revision and get the artwork completed.
Also, I'm looking for a nice looking home page for our website so that we have at least something presentable sitting out there in webland.  I really wasn't happy with what we had before and took everything down to the garbage template that I accidentally picked when I started the website.
Any help people can give is appreciated and the best I can offer you right now is your name in the rulebook. :)
