Here I am, sitting in front of my monitor for the past half an hour trying to come up with a funny story for you. I mean, I have plenty of Slavic stories, and I can complain about literally everything, but I cannot whine every week.
You know, regular corporate newsletters are easier, the marketing team gets briefed from sales team what to push, they put a promotion, give you 30% off and bum, newsletter is ready. I don’t do that here, I try to entertain you, tell stories, but sometimes it is hard, you stare at the monitor, and… Am I complaining again? Sorry. Let’s start over.

Essen SPIEL this year was spectacular. We sold out both Abroad and Robo Run, we did an epic overnight re-stock, with truck driving whole night from Poland to Germany with additional copies of Robo Run, and that was pretty awesome.
Due to this success, we made it even, we did not lose money for once at the big show. The cost of conventions like Gen con or Essen SPIEL are ridiculously high, and making any profit is almost impossible, every year we go, we hope for a marketing success and boost and we pray to not lose too much money, and… Am I complaining again? Sorry, let’s start over…

I have a blast playtesting SlavMortis. We play it with my wife Merry, as we used to to back then, when she was my main playtester for expansions for 51st State, for Imperial Settlers, for most of my card games. In recent years she was not part of my playtesting team, with games like Bohemians and Robo Run she was not involved, but with SlavMortis she is back, we play in the afternoons, we test new decks, new cards, we have fun. To be honest, the draft for the campaign goes slower than we hoped for, we presented the mechanisms, the artwork, but so far not many Portal Games fans jumped on the hype train, and it saddens me - you guys know we know how to design a good card game, we have a long history of award winning titles like 51st State, Imperial Settlers, Empires of the North… Damn! I am complaining again! This is ridiculous!

My friends, this is hopeless, apparently I am in the whining mood today. I promise you though, I will work hard all week to come up with funny and positive newsletter next week. Stay tuned!
