Just to give everyone an update, I am still working out details regarding printing and shipping of physical items. In the meantime, I went back to the drawing board to work on streamlining my card making process. Now that I am longer associated with GEN1400 games, I am not bound by the printing formats that GEN1400 required.
I have always envisioned Diggin Deep player cards to be similar in make and size to collector sports cards. I have been able to re-arrange the player cards on a page. Previously, Diggin Deep player cards were eight to a page (4x2). This format met the requirements needed to be printed and cut by GEN1400 games. However, for E-Books, this left large margin above and below. I have now re-formatted the cards to fit nine to a page (3x3). Not only was I able to add an extra card to a page, but I was able to increase the size of the card by about 15%. Larger cards that now require less pages of output. This should come as a relief to my E-Book customers as less card stock will be needed now to print my games.
I have also increased the output for my quick play games (Fifteen Minute Baseball / Glory on the Pitch / Lightin the Lamp) from 16 cards a page to 18 cards a page. This also reduces the output for E-Books
The first season to utilize this new format will be the 2013-14 Euro Leagues for Glory on the Pitch and Lightin the Lamp. I will announcing the release of these leagues later tonight. As time allows, I will look to re-release older sets from the Diggin Deep library in this new format. Look for posts here when older sets are re-released.
As always, if you have questions, feel free to E-Mail me at rlennon@diggindeepsports.com. Thanks!
