GenCon Update
Hi Darrin,
Since our niche is customization, we are hoping to take many, many custom orders. However, we will have a total of about 2,000 bags in all of our regular sizes: Tiny, Small, Medium, & Royals - in virtually all of our fabric patterns - ready to go home then.
We'll be bringing a book (and a CD ROM for our computer too) that contains over 10,000 monograms that are pre-digitized that you'll be able to pick from. Go to our Embroidery page on our site to pick your choice ahead of time! Of course, custom monograms will still be possible too (if you have something you know you want, bring it on a 3.5"disk and we'll save it on our computer so you can keep your disk, or you can e-mail it to us - heck, e-mail it to us now). We won't know exactly how long custom orders will take as we don't know how many orders we'll receive. Keep in mind that our normal non-con delivery time on custom bags is 2-4 weeks depending on the level of customization.
We'll have our new Signature Bags for getting all of your favorite game designers and EN World buddies to sign. They are all white Royal bags with a Sharpie (R) marker attached via a pencil (er, marker) loop. The marker will be color coordinated with the drawstring color. There will also be an insert to prevent bleed-through and to give a good writing surface.
We will have a limited number of leather bags since 95% of our leather orders are custom monogrammed, we figured that will most likely hold true at GenCon.
We will have some demos of our Bags of (Dice) Holding with 8 small internal pockets (great for minis or to divide your dice up) and one large central area. We didn't want to mass produce the BoDHs because you'll be able to pick an outside and inside fabric, which of course can be two different ones. We weren't about to try to predict fabric choices on hundreds of these! Not to mention they can be monogrammed.
(If you happen to like the demo models, we will part with them - if you don't mind picking them up at the end on Sunday.)
We did do some pre-monogrammed bags, aimed at kids ala "Baby Gamer" & "Lil' Gamer", divided gender-wise. Lots of fun stuff like Dragon Tales (R), Bob the Builder (R), Spongebob Squarepants (R), Race cars, Tinkerbell (R), Barbie (R), etc. We will also have a few Disney (R) Princess BoDH that are very cool. They come with (washable) markers to let the little gamer color in their own bag! We were going to do some pre-monogrammed "adult" bags, but ultimately we figured that would negate our whole "custom" aspect. Trying to predict what would sell was beyond our diviner's abilities.
On a Personal Note
Do to a bunch of unforseen incidents (me being hospitalized with pneumonia, lots of personal problems, several bouts of kids being sick for a week at a time, and a death in the family recently) our time has been greatly reduced to work on our bags. Consequently, our Collectable Card Bags and Collectable Card Bandoleeers will be demos only, but we'll be taking orders for them. We're quite disappointed that we won't have more there, but it might work out better that way since they're going to have the same customization capabilities as our BoDH.
