With haste, as in pursuit of an escaping quarry….

We couldn’t wait to show you the great art that Krystyna Nowek created for us.  We couldn’t even wait as long as it would take for us to type an appropriate introduction!  It was painful even to wait as long as it took to type the title for this post, so we put the image immediately after it.  This will be the cover art for the first codex, which we’ll be sharing more about in the weeks and months to come.  Until then you can enjoy these slowly broadening glimpses, and be sure to check out Krystyna’s other work.

We’re nerds.  It’ll be easier for everyone if we just leave that out in the open.

We are not necessarily nerds that can spell though.  Did you know that there are three words that start with Qu and have some R’s in the middle and all sound pretty similar?   (They sound similar to us, anyway.)  We know this now.  Originally we had our riders chasing the elusive database search.

It is always delightful to learn new things.  We learned something while typing this.  We wanted to share.

Quarry

An animal that’s being hunted.  Also a rock pit.  Did someone hunt rocks  once, or is this just coincidence?

Query

A question.  Most often nowadays this is a specifically crafted question designed to return results from a database.

Querry 

This is an old-fashioned word for someone who tends horses.  We like old-fashioned things, so we include it even though no one will likely use it any time soon.

Slowly, as in diligently checking math….

Meanwhile, while the riders in Krystyna’s art are on some exciting quest, we at Rainjoy Games have been tremulously facing such mysterious and terrifying monsters as “Trim lines” and “Internal Custom Component Materials.”  As you might guess, we’re continuing the careful task of readying the files for the printers.  We want to get it right, so it’s not a task we can rush.  As the old saying goes, “Measure twice, adjust the bleed area for the cut variance of mechanical sheet feed offset printing, cut once.”  That’s how the saying goes, right?  

That’s all we can share this week, but more exciting news is always approaching quickly.  Until next time though, feel free to share any comments or questions that you have in the space below.  We look forward to hearing from you!
