I’ve finally completed the first four Arkham Horror Leagues! I’m currently working on translating the third Spanish league with Jessa, so that may be a bit away, but the production of components for Arkham Horror leagues one and two, as well as Spanish Leagues one and two are complete. Images and a small side project after the jump.

DIY Light table
I’ve been putting a lot of time into creating custom components for Arkham Horror. On the one hand, this is an end to itself, on the other, it’s a really nice test case for putting together components for the Dune board game. Along the way, I found that I needed a light table to align the front and back of cards, so I built one.
Things Completed
As can sometimes happen, I have been incredibly busy for the past three weeks. Between business and vacation, I’ve only had 8 days at my normal job. However, I’ve still be very productive, just not as good about blogging about it, so here’s what I’ve been up to.
It’s easier to show than tell
Last week I posted about my EVE Intel project. It’s nowhere near complete, but here is the state that it’s in, if you want to take a look and see what I was working toward:

Taking Donations for the next two weeks
Donations are open for the week of July 4 and 11. I’m doing a two-week stretch because the fourth of July weekend and my vacation at the beginning of next week make two shorter weeks in a row. That means the minimum will be set to 6 hours, and the maximum is 12.
Last week, I spent most of my time (and then some – five hours) working on Thank You cards. We’ve made some good progress on these and will probably be sending out a good number of them this week. I also got a blog post out on EVE and put together a page for my main character (Darren Carey). Thanks!
Which project I’m dropping, and why
Those of you in the EVE Online community have probably heard of the various things going on with licensing. As a result, I’m temporarily dropping my EVE Intel project off of my list of to-dos. More details below.
Taking donations for the week of June 27
Donations are open for the week of June 27. This week, I have kit building on Wednesday night, so I’ll be working on projects for a minimum of 4 hours, and a maximum of 8. Thanks for your support!
Last week I finished working off my backlog of donated hours, working on Thank You Cards and Blogging (3 hours each). I’ve got one more blog coming up about EVE Online which will be accompanied by a page about my main character.
So… …What happened last week?
Last week, I asked for donations to go toward my projects. I plan on sticking to those donations, but as many of you noticed, it didn’t quite happen last week. I feel I owe it to you to explain, so here you go:
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Jessa and I have recently finished watching our way through Star Trek: The Next Generation. I’ve never seen the show from start to finish before, so this was quite a treat for me in a number of ways. Details to follow.
