    I'm not a Sparkly Pony, but I think some people might be slightly upset if the guys' pin is all tough and the girls' pin ends up being frilly and... pink.

    I hope that the theme for the girls button will not produce that interpretation. While I can't say for certain pink will not be on the button (I haven't made it yet), I can say there will be no frills in sight of it.

    The boy's pin needs more sparkle! And more pink, and definitely more frilly!

    Lol, I can cover it in glitter and put it on a pink doily for you, how is that? :D

    Sparkle on the boys' pin would be awesome. ;D

    I tried emulating sparkles for PAX East with disastrous results but I'm thinking a Bokeh effect would look pretty sweet on that button. :)

    Ok! Late night allowed me to complete the Cowboy 'Verse and boys Sparkly Ponies buttons! Along with these buttons comes the taglines for Cowboy 'Verse and the boys version of Sparkly Ponies. The site will be updated when time permits but not any later than this weekend.

    Cowboy 'Verse
    Out of bullets, out of time, and out of luck? Welcome to Cowboy 'Verse.

    If you have a problem, if no one can help, and if you’re sparkly then maybe you can hire... The HAY-Team.

    Let me know what you think. :)

    I still haven't ordered. I have some questions that are probably already answered somewhere, so I apologize. When do I have to order by and can I pick it up at the con?

    Standard Action, it's a webseries.

    I'll be distributing buttons at all the button meetups to players as well as at the Pre-PAX Board Game Night. I'll have a sign so you can find me and I'll post what that looks like once it's finished.

    No worries! So that I can meet demand and guarantee your faction choice it's preferred you order before the 27th as after that I may not print new badges and just use what is remaining. This is especially true if you want your badge branded.

    Yes. I updated the ordering system so that Mexico and Canadian orders can select this option for a $2.00 flat rate. Let me know if you run into any issues when ordering.

    To be honest I had to look up Beaumonde. And then I had to look at the related searches to figure it out. My Firefly fandom pride feels bad for not recognizing it :(

    Don't feel bad! I had to look up the spelling for it and all the Dark Tower and was searching forever for some good Dark Tower references.

    So are the Buttoneering Meetups safe zones, or are we risking exposure to our assassin when we go? XD

    They will be safe zones, I'll add it to the Safe Zones list tonight.

    Oh no, really? The game doesn't start until Friday morning when the doors open so that kill wasn't technically legal. If I'd known I would have given him a replacement!

    Edit: On this note, if something happens to you and you feel like it wasn't legal or have a question don't hesitate to contact me (You will all be receiving info on how to do that soon). I'll try to help however I can to make sure your game experience is fun!

    Just broke 75 kits ordered! To celebrate we've added Omeganaut branding for badges! For those Omeganauts who have already ordered/received your kits PM me with your order # and I'll print you a replacement to give to you at PAX! Congratulations!

    I just got my kit, just wondering how I register it. When I go to the register link, I just get a wordpress login page. am I missing something?

    The wordpress account is for the site, we need something to identify you so we can link kills and other things to it.

    I would like to respectfully request the "girls" design. The more fruu fruu, sparkles, and rainbows, the better.

    Noted! :) Just to be clear though the girls button will not be intentionally any more or less "fruu fruu" then the boys button.


    I've updated the rules to a new version, included the button meetups as safe zones as well as some clarafication that players must wear their badges in order to perform assassinations. Let me know if you have any questions!

    Just for clarification, while panels are safe zones, what about waiting in line for panels? I'll probably be waiting in some 2 hour lines, so might as well know if I'll be a sitting target for those periods. =P

    Good question! Lines are fair game, so keep your eyes open for players while you're waiting in one.

    The cowboys should be space cowboys. Then my button (which I am trading again this year) would represent every faction:

    Indeed! Cowboy 'Verse is meant to be a mix of Firefly, Dark Tower and other Wild West tropes. The 'Verse is meant to directly reference Firefly but also interpreted as universe or multiverse. :)

    Not at all! If you order before the 22nd you can get your kit shipped but after that you can order online until the 30th and get your kit in person ($2 fee for pickup at the show).

    Cool. We're arriving Tuesday the 28th, so I wonder if it's just better to pick it up.

    hmm...anyone know if LTACosta's dad is playing? I might have to sign up just so he has someone to kill again :P

    Haha, he actually can't make it to PAX this year. First prime he's missed since he started going. Don't worry though, I'm sure I can kill you for him.

    Edit: Also, I finally ordered my kit. I was debating joining this year since I'm in the Omegathon, but when I saw you were doing Omeganaut branding, I figured I had to do it. Hopefully I'm not too late :)

    A few updates! We're at 97 kits, so close to 100. Now I'm not saying that 100th kit will be special, but I'm not saying it won't be either!

    Also an update on branding! The Girls Meetup group now has branding, so if you're in that show your support! Since this came up late, if you already bought your kit just let me know the badeg code and I'll print you a branded replacement to give to you at PAX! I'll post images of the additional branding badges (Omeganaut, Girls Meetup) tonight when I get home. Which group is next?
