Giving Thanks Sale!

Amarillo Design Bureau, Inc. is giving thanks for its customers, both old and new. We are placing everything in our online shopping cart on sale from November 28 through December 8, 2024. The 10% discount will be applied automatically.

If you order on Thanksgiving (Thursday, 11/28), Black Friday (Friday, 11/29), Cyber Monday (Monday, 12/2), or End of Sale (Sunday, 12/8) AND ask to get the sample sprue of 7000 scale Romulan ships, then we will enter you in a drawing on the day of your order to see if you get one of the four samples. You can only enter once on a particular day, and you can only win once.

This sale is only available to individuals, not stores.

Thank you so much for choosing our games and for your loyalty all these years!

Do we have the most recently revised counter sheets in yet? I'm looking for the new Y1 and K in particular.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Friday, February 07, 2025 - 06:51 pm: Edit

Not yet. I am waiting for the proofs I have to check and approve.

Due to the ice today, ADB's offices are closed. However, I am at home proofreading the Orion MSSB.

Thank you, Jean.

We on The Boards all love you and don't want to see you hurt.

(Our taunting the `Gators is just a stupid, Redneck way of showing our love for you... )

There are several spam messages on the FedCom site.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Thursday, February 13, 2025 - 02:13 pm: Edit

This is the wrong topic to report them. I hope Mike West will see this and take care of it.

By Mike West (Mjwest) on Thursday, February 13, 2025 - 03:46 pm: Edit

This belongs in the sub-topic within the Dear Jean topic.

They are gone now.

ADB IS CLOSED TODAY due to the ice storm. I have driven to work in worse, but at my age it's just not worth six months in a wheel chair. Jean is working on the Orion book from home.

Takes time for updates.

Steve Petrick is in the VA hospital in Amarillo, Texas, suffering from pneumonia. At one point yesterday, there was genuine concern for his survival, but he seems to be getting better today.

Steve has had numerous medical issues over the last four years, and each of these complicates each of the others, so every medical problem is worse than it would be on its own. His online travels have been our way to say he is unavailable without violating his privacy, but this time Steve felt that his many friends needed to know the less humorous, but more accurate, situation.

Those who want to send messages to him can email them to ADB; we will print them out and take them to him on our daily visits. He is getting excellent medical and spiritual care, and we hope he can return to work soon.
