It is my great pleasure to announce a great new tool, useful for all d20 games. Improved Initiative is a specially laminated color sheet that enables you to use dry or wet erase markers to easily keep track of initiative order for all combat participants as well as the number of rounds that combat takes. In addition, it's also designed to seamlessly accommodate adjustments for refocusing, readying, or delaying actions.
Background:
On a whim, roughly 18 months ago, I designed what became an amazingly useful tool for our DnD game. So useful in fact, that now we can scarcely imagine how we played without it. And after all this time, I’ve decided to introduce it to the gaming market at large.
The device, though simple looking, allows you to easily keep track of everyone's initiative during a combat round at a glance, and makes it easy for players to know when their turns are coming up so they can prepare their actions. This has the very welcome effect of reducing how long combats take. Until you use it, you'll never know what you're missing.
On the 18th of June, I held a contest to name my new gaming product. This was held in two stages, first, there were the naming submissions, then came the voting. And now, after a few delays and hurdles, I’m pleased to announce the release of Improved Initiative.
I have finally received the finished product from the printer’s office, and they look great! The winners of the contest have been notified and should be receiveing their prizes by early next week. I would also like to announce that www.improvedinitiative.com is now open for business. So, click, don’t type, over to our website, and get your copy today.
In addition, we will be at GenCon promoting the new product, and you will be able to find me at the Dire Kobold booth (# 1441) and at the Twin Rose booth (# 2045) in the exhibit hall. (Look for the guy wearing the cool Improved Initiative T-Shirt!)
A big THANK YOU goes out to all who helped out by participating in the contest. Hope to see you soon at the website and at GenCon.

i take it that it arrived intact and not terribly bent (as they tend to do with my copies of Dragon!) 
waiting eagerly to hear how it worked for you!
but it's no problem ... if you ask nicely
