[Burningvoid-announce] Site update #26--writers' book reviews and cafepress stuff!

[Heather Grove]

Good morning! I hope you're all having a wonderful week 
pre-Thanksgiving. As usual we use the holiday as an excuse to cook up a 
storm, so you can expect our next announcement mailing to contain a 
bunch of cookbook reviews--in particular some fantastic-looking dessert 
cookbooks such as "The Chocolate Deck"! I also expect to put out a new 
Twilight Time zine issue soon. In the meantime, here are some of our 
latest offerings.


Writers' book reviews:

"Writing for the Soul," Jerry B. Jenkins:

Cafepress designs & offers:

This year, cafepress is having a bit of a contest; they're taking the 
first 200 qualifying items submitted by shopkeepers, putting them on a 
portal page, and measuring sales volume from November 24 (this coming 
Friday) through December 24. While I have my doubts that an rpg-themed 
design could win, that won't stop me from trying--and I think I may 
well have gotten the design in before the cutoff, although I won't be 
sure until they make the official announcement. If you've been thinking 
of grabbing one of our ever-popular "I'm not lazy, I'm just out of 
mana" shirts, stop by the following URL between November 24 and 
December 24 to buy the dark t-shirt version at $1 off!

We've added an entire new sub-section to the tabletop rpg section in 
the cafepress store, entitled "Adventurers' last words". It's filled 
with amusing examples of the things adventurers tend to say just before 
they get themselves wiped out!

We also updated the Warcraft-themed character class designs to level 70 
in anticipation of the upcoming expansion. This includes updating our 
popular "level 60 nerd" design. Each design now offers a wider variety 
of style choices (colorful, plain, with picture):

Finally, it seems our "Elixir of coffee" mug is going to be a popular 
holiday item this year:

Sorry for spending so much of this email on cafepress stuff; it's the 
pre-holiday rush and all. I promise plenty of cookbook reviews next 
time!

Have a wonderful week!
Heather
