Dahlia's Diversions Assembled At Home!
When Dahlia's Diversions for Peculiar Parties was headed to print, the uncertainty of tariffs with our crowdfund made overseas manufacturing a risky proposition . . . so we ditched the box and dice in favor of a rigid envelope and had the games printed here in the USA. The printer we found for the actual games was local to Atlanta, GA, and the envelopes were shipped to us. Our printer was lovely enough to collate the games for us, but once they got started, we discovered an issue: The envelopes had a nasty habit of splitting at the sides, and we had to replace the entire batch. Which meant taking apart the entire print run and putting it back together again.
And that happened on Steve's dining room table – our first in-house assembly in over 20 years! We were able to hire local friends to help us re-collate the games and get them shipped out to backers and to Warehouse 23.
Our final mission was to deliver the 750 copies that are going into distribution. Conveniently, the PSI warehouse is just north of Atlanta! And the entire load fit into my Prius, so SJ and I were able to hand-deliver the PSI order in one trip.
If you get a copy of Dahlia's on Warehouse 23 or at your local game store, you'll have your own piece of this story, too – a game lovingly hand-assembled at Steve's house.
