Default Do developers dream of manual mooses

I still don't have the manual. We are supposed to get them any day now. So I dreamt of the manual. Unfortunately it was a nightmare. I suddenly realized I had torn it a bit flipping through the pages. I started to wonder if I had been to curious looking at the grimoire and opened the manual only to find that one third of the pages were blank. Mostly in the grimoire section. I had a panicky feeling and wondered how many copies of the game had bad manuals. I looked at it again and found a single page in it with some content. It was a funny little purple drawing of three mooses (calf, cow, bull) and a hunter and a short and rather fun text written by Bruce (wich I of course don't remember annymore). I concluded that it was a reference to 'Greger the Moose king' from Coe II, felt calmer and the dream ended.

Kristoffer:

Okay. Deep breaths. I hope you get yours today. I am so sorry it took so long to get your copies on the way too you.

Interesting, but true story. When we got the shipment of the manuals, the first one out of the box had about 20 pages turned upside down !

There was a mad rush, we started opening all the boxes, looking through each manual. Came to find out only a few (less than 20) were like that. Luckily we only got a partial order in and contacted the printer to go back and look through those produced. We haven't had anymore problems. The printer did an excellent job.

This is one reason we bring the pieces in individually before building the 'package'. Can you imagine if we had them shipped directly to the shrinkwrapper. Most likely there would be a couple of dozen unhappy fans out there...
