After a 7 year run, The Game Crafter has decided to discontinue the Large Pro Box. The Large Pro Box served us well in the early days when The Game Crafter did not have a lot of options for packaging, but its inability to be fully printed is no longer representative of our customer’s needs and desires, especially when there are great alternatives available.

So I've been working on my first Heroes & Treasure expansion, plus the Kickstarter campaign for the expansion, which is going to launch in only like 4 weeks. Which is not a lot of time.
