System Play Testing for TMP4 Is Closed To New Members.
All play testing slots are filled. Play testing will continue with the members we have. Thank you to all the great fans that offered to help out.

System Play Testing for TMP4 Has Begun.
A limited number of play testing slots are open for TMP4's rules. If you have a group and wish to play test the rules all you have to do is sign and send back the NDA (non-disclosure agreement). When we recieve and approve the document you will be added to the play test group. We will also send you a copy of the play test materials. Play testers please remember to include your email address.

Web site Updates:
Shipping Calculator Fixed! We had some problems with the shipping calculator on the new site. These issues seem to be fixed. We have tested it extensively. Please give it a try.

The new shopping cart is live! Give it a try. Just click on the "Catalog" button to the left. Please report any problems to us using the contact infromation provided at the bottom of this page.

We have been working on a new e-commerce area for the site. The new suite will provide enhanced functionality for our web order customers. It will also provide streamlined order processing for the TimeLine staff. This translates to faster order processing for our customers. There is still some work to do before we go live with the new store.

Order Issues:
I am happy to report that all of our outstanding order issues have been resolved.

Sigh…
Another convention season has come and gone. I have been unable to attend conventions this year and I am really missing everyone. I love meeting the fans as well as talking to new folks about our games. I read the industry lists and see other game company folks talking about their experiences. It brings back many fond memories. Next year I will make a concerted effort to attend at least one or two conventions.

Web site Updated
We have added a “Work With Us” page to the site. Some of the items listed are author guidelines and game evaluation wavers. Now you no longer need to write us for a copy. Our next update should have artist guidelines posted. There are even volunteer positions posted. We will be adding to the volunteer list as time goes on. Many of you have offered to help and we very much appreciate it. Now you can actually see where we can use the help.

What The Frack Is Going On At TimeLine?!!

Or maybe you are asking where is the 4th. Edition. The short answer is, its delayed again. The longer version is somewhat more complicated. Since June we have encountered 4 separate issues that have conspired to delay things yet again. Any one or 2 of them would not have put much of a dent in our schedule but all four at the same time have managed to halt things here.

As the president I am the guy ultimately responsible. Please do not take it out on any of our staff or convention help. If you must vent your frustration, please direct it to me. First let me assure you the company is financially solvent. We will continue to develop the Morrow Project product line.

In the coming months there will be a large number of changes in the way we do business. Since entering the game business in 1998 I have always listened to the people that do this for a living. When trying to learn a new business you listen to the experts. I have a short list of things that work. However I also have a large list of things that don’t seem to work very well. It’s time to try some new ideas.

We are canceling all of our convention appearances for a little while. We may do some local conventions within commuting distance of our offices.

We are canceling all of our advertising in industry publications. The financial resources this will free up will be used to send product to conventions as convention support.

We will be working with a number of people to help us complete projects in areas that we have the talent but not the resources to finish.

Product release announcements will be shortened to 90 days advanced notice. This should help us improve our on-time-delivery percentage. We will continue to list projects that are being worked on but will no longer give projected release dates.

The Morrow Project T-Shirts Are Here!

The Morrow Project T-Shirts have finally arrived. We had a number of them for Origins but sold through several sizes almost immediately.

We have a winner!

The winning entry for The Morrow Project T-Shirt Contest is "Ordinary People. Extraordinary Mission." The winning entry was submitted by Dan Reising of Rochester, Minnesota. Dan wins a t-shirt with the winning entry on it as well as a copy of The Morrow Project 4Th. Ed.

It was not an easy task picking a winner but we were very happy to have so many entries. There were over 100 entries. Many of the entries are excellent. We are planning on other t-shirt contests in the near future. Please resubmit entries that you feel are appropriate to the new contests.

New Factory Floor Page Added!

We have added a new section to the TimeLine Ltd. web site. This new page called "Factory Floor" is a window into our production schedule. Presently there is information on current projects but soon there will be info on upcoming projects and even proposed projects.
