This Week at ADB, Inc., 20-26 May 2012

Steve Cole reports:

This was the week of Jean's first spring visit (which replaced her Origins trip). The weather this week was very nice. The spam storm mostly remained at something over 200 per day.

New on e23 this week are the original boxed SFB rulebook and the three expansions for it.

Jean Sexton was here all week, and worked on Traveller, completing most of the conversion of the PD20M core book to a Traveller core book. (We may decide to expand that by another 100 pages of deck plans and campaigns, material that will go into Final Frontier for the other systems.) We also manage to pack a lot of fun for Jean into the trip, including a drive to Clovis to see the eclipse, an arena football game, a birthday party, lots of driving tours of the area, a trip to a local greenhouse for information on plants that grow here, and more. Jean also managed our page on Facebook (which is up to 1,211 friends).

Steve Cole worked mostly in a support role for Jean's Traveller project, but did a few other things including a Captain's Log article.

Steven Petrick worked on Captain's Log #45 and sent the R2 SSD book update to the staff for review.

Leanna Cole kept orders and accounting up to date.

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

Joel Shutts did website updates, chased pirates, and helped Mike. Mostly, Joel looked for a new real world job with the help of SVC, Leanna, and Jean.
