[Icehouse] 5th Stash :)

[miyu]

David,
   Good advice.  I already placed my order for 7 Rainbow sets (brings my
total up to 12 sets for the class) and when I get some funds released to me
in the fall, assuming there are pyramids left, I'll make my next order
Xeno.  To be honest, the only real reason I needed would be the mention of
helping clear out back stock to make increase of the odds of a reprint
sooner. :D
   Gnostica sounds like such a fun game, but there is no way I'm going to
bring a tarot deck into a public school.  I can only imagine the burning at
the stake that would arise in this conservative community.
   As for the color translation I will probably just print up a little chart
with Andy's conversion he had posted recently and have that up on a wall for
anyone who gets confused.

                             -Ryan
