GoFund... Harry Potter ?

     Time for a quick update! So it's been almost a month, and the only GoFundMe donation has come from myself...HOWEVER, we are slowly but surely making progress. We have started taking pre-orders on our Hogwart's Tower game, as well as our Monopoly-style game. Both of which are composed of original art, 3D modeled Castles, huts, various coins, and asundry other items featured in the books.

    Size and cost has been playing a factor in the workshop, as finances are limited it is difficult to hire extra staff which is especially needed during the Christmas rush. Our current 3D printers have been running nearly 24/7 and one of them is out-of-commission...so if anyone out there has repair experience in the 3D Printer department in the DFW area the help would be much appreciated. On a more positive note, NEEDING to hire MORE employees is a good indicator that business is busy! Our daily strive for excellence and something new, different, more creative than before is part of what this fundraiser is about...Keene/FX being able to thrive in the North Texas area, and hopefully one day beyond, is key to showing minds, young and old, that art has quality. Art can require an abstract thinker to view unmade things in mental space, transfer them to digital space and build them in the physical space; or an intelligently communicative mind to translate computer code in a manner similar to a foreign language, or even simply KNOWING how the seemingly mundane paint will act when applied to different surfaces. These different avenues of expression are an outlet that I believe people NEED to experience, whether it be directly or indirectly.

    Well, enough of me going on about why I think YOU should help build Keene/FX and be a part of our creative experience. Merry Christmas to all, Happy New Year, don't forget to donate and check out our ETSY shops. God Bless!

WNYX the Board Game UPDATED!!!

     For all those out there that enjoyed late 90s TV sitcoms and hilarious actors like Phil Hartman, Dave Foley, Steven Root and the like... it's been different over the years. Things have changed...just a bit.

     There is a Newsradio board game out there, along with the radio shows, cartoons, and random memes that one can come across. The board game was recently updated and currently sells on ETSY and AMAZON. Here are some pics!

 (Pictured above is the full setup: tiny radios, 8 different player tokens, Memo cards, Complaint Box cards, Trivia cards, Character cards, & of course the board itself) 

(Above you can see closeups of all the card decks used in the game)

(Above are pictures of each of the characters used during gameplay...no Mr. James?)

     

     If you have followed this game at all you will have noticed some improvements in card and player token construction. Also, in regards to "Jimmy", he and "Bill's cane" play a part in the Advanced Play set of instructions where each player draws a random "Jimmy card" at the start of their turn providing them with a "Happy Jimmy", "Sad Jimmy", "Neutral Jimmy", or "Bill's Cane". Each of these provide something specific for that turn.

     Well, that's all I have so far, other than you can buy specific "bundles" of the game from the ChooChoo8MitMit ETSY site...gotta love options.

It's Like Hail in Texas...

It happens...oh boy does it happen. Around March every year in North Texas you can count on some ridiculously "reliable" weather...
Just like the craziness of hail in Texas ChooChoo8MitMit is having a crazy spring sale on WNYX the Game.

If you were EVER a fan of the show 'Newsradio' from back in the mid-late '90s, you will appreciate this purchase. Have a great night!
