I might be losing my mind, given that I've only had a few hours sleep each night since this began (and 1-18-0 Cool

, but was this always there? Anyway, it wasn't mentioned above; it says that Mind Storm Labs appeared at Pandemonium (gaming convention held by Toronto Role-Playing Association) back in February and has a link to the Pandemonium website. The .pdf of Pandemonium doesn't mention anything about Mind Storm Labs, but they may have simply had a booth. Whatever they did--if indeed they even there--no one anywhere I have seen ever bothered to mention it online. If anyone has a copy of the program, they might have placed an ad in there.

On the Mind Storm Labs April newsletter, regarding their Play Testing, (apparently in answer to a claim someone made that table top games are not "beta tested") there is this curious line:

On behalf of me and the other denizens here... Thanks, Four Guys!

The Four Guys bring up an interesting point: Red Interactive Agency. Look at their portfolio - Spiderman 3, Sony Pictures Television, UFC, Warner Brothers... They're heavy hitters, and they probably aren't particularly cheap. It just seems like they're out of Mind Storm Labs' league.

The EHWR site is the only site that doesn't list a client.

Also, another question of curiosity: if the only three people we know of at Mind Storm Labs have an operating address in Florida (and we have confirmed one of them to be a Florida native), who's in Canada? We have no idea the size of the team developing Alpha Omega. Could be one guy, could be fifty.

BTW: Four Guys... you mention that, if it were a video game, they'd be focusing on E3 rather than GenCon. E3 is three months earlier (perhaps they weren't ready), and a hell of a lot more expensive to attend than GenCon (I could be wrong in the price; I haven't attended myself in five years). Also, it takes a LOT longer to make a video game than it does a table top RPG (where basically the only thing you need to do is write a manual).

FYI: "Necro" has disappeared from the journal pages WHOIS information, and now they're all listed through the "Domain Privacy Group".

The 'TE' monogram at Triton Enterprises is in the same font used for the menus at Mind Storm Labs. Not that we didn't already know there was a relationship, just a little tidbit.

Strictly speaking, it's very similar, but not exact. Look at the "R" to see the difference.

I just meant the Caps in the Monogram, not the "Triton Enterprises" below--that is either a different font altogether or a small-caps.

The "Triton Enterprises" font is different, but the "E" alone is unmistakeable.

I now believe that the New Brunswick letter is real.

Having stared at the n's and r's on the Haas journal pages and then comparing to Van's signature, I'd say Tom wrote those pages too. Not really a suprise, but if others agree we may be able to infer something from it later, who knows?
