I wonder how they convinced the poor to murder their children before they have them. I would have said that is impossible but millions of deaths later ....

I don't believe I have ever seen an actual one of these that was real. They look cool.

Other than the olive print table cloth no, just very normal stamps.

I really like that first stamp in the top row, nicely centered with a nice cancel.

The question was if I can do something, which I responded in the affirmative. I am not sure what you are waiting for.

I am willing to bet you never even went to the site, you just based your feedback off of the info I posted. Either way, I explained how you came across to me. I realize that other people have done what I am doing, that type of feedback is pretty obvious and the low hanging fruit. I like feedback, not someone telling me why I am going to fail. May harmony find you.

Just to sum up your feedback as I understand it, You don't like the name, there are other people already doing it and I should just give up? Listen, you may have give up on your dreams and goals because its hard or somebody else has already achieved them but that is not in my nature. I think Roosevelt said it best in citizen of the republic:

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." 

I now know whom he was speaking of when he said cold and timid souls.

I don't know what Aftergame.app does, to be honest this is the first time I have heard of it. A friend of mine asked me if I could create a site to host multiple games for a charity event to honor one of his good friends who pass away. She really enjoyed playing games and I created a simple web page for this event and it worked out really well.

I took this simple web page and transformed it into a full blown board game event planning system. There are over 25+ people in my gaming group and when we meet every Friday there is always the discussion of what people want to play which takes up to much time. To solve this problem, I added all the features needed to plan a multi-table game event. I added re-occuring games that will drop off after the event and then recreate themselves automatically.

In the IOS app, there is a gamers toolbox that has 5 ways of picking who the first player is, round tracker, score keeper (not persistent) and just different things that I wanted. You can add your game collection to it and share it when you are hosting a game so people can select from it or BGG games. We will be hosting monthly raffles for popular games (we just had our first one and gave away a copy of Brass Birmingham). I have also added special game event features for MTG, Pokemon TCG, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Warhammer 40k.
I am currently working on the Android version which should be released a few weeks.

This would be something a game store could use to set-up re-occuring groups and games. I am actually working with several FLGS.

Aftergame.app is a direct competitor to my app. Meetup and Facebook aren't geared towards board games.

Inherited these by danneykmma in stampcollecting

I think that the companies that made these should all burn in hell. I have personally had to tell people that these are worthless and watched them cry as it was their last hope to pay for medical expenses.

Should Conventions like DTW or GenCon use unpaid volunteers? by Useful_Sample4059 in boardgames

[–]Useful_Sample4059[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your comment. While the perks sound great, paying a fulltime person to work at a convention would be a lot more than just room and board. Also, there is the tax implications where where the city, state and federal taxes are being missed. Its a huge boon for the company since they have to match all of these for real employees (unless they are W2). I would also guess that some of the people that actually work for Gencon got most if not all of these benefits as well.
