This Week at ADB, Inc., 1-7 April 2012

Steve Cole reports:

This was another normal week, with the Steves designing new games while everybody else worked on orders. The weather this week was cool and very pleasant. The spam storm mostly remained at something under 200 per day.

New on e23 this week was Star Fleet Times #11-#15 and searchable high resolution versions of all of the older Captain's Logs. Next week the new upload will be Captain's Log #22.

Steve Cole tried out a new goal-setting work plan, making a list of everything he wanted to do during the week and then allowing himself to pick whatever item from the list looked interesting. This worked fairly well. He reviewed ACTASF playtest reports and rules changes, worked on the Captain's Log #45 story, updated the Hydran SIT, tested sky cavalry and air strikes in Star Fleet Marines, finished Communique #76, did four pages of Federation Admiral, did reports to Mongoose on eight ships being evaluated by the players, wrote two more blogs, read the last of the SFB scenarios that Petrick had converted from FC, updated the Text Catalog, proofread the Captain's Log #45 command notes, reviewed the first large shipment of metal ships from Mongoose, did some work on secret projects T and E, did several pages of the FC Reference Scenario Book, did one page of F&E Q&A for Captain's Log #45, did the augmented BATS for Federation Commander Reinforcements Attack, did an FC scenario for the bank, updated the 2500 campaign ribbon list for 2012, and wrote this report.

Steven Petrick completed work on T2012, playtested Star Fleet Marines, did work on Captain's Log #45, updated the R107 errata, and got started on the D-update for the SFB Master Rulebook so it could be offered for hardback sales.

Leanna kept orders and accounting up to date.

Mike kept orders going out, rebuilt the inventory, and managed customer service.

Joel did website updates, chased pirates, and helped Mike.

Jean managed our page on Facebook (which is up to 1,162 friends), proofread Communique, and did some marketing.
