Hey, Matthew. My question was meant to elicit $$$ responses, because I want
to see if we could get a major chesspiece maker to make variant pieces. To
do that, we'd have to demonstrate a market that would make it worthwhile
for the company to invest $5000 or so in setting up production. 

On the other hand, we seem to have accumulated about $200 so far, which
isn't going to start a competition between producers for our business
just yet, so don't give up hope. ;-) Seriously, put up some pictures.
There have been some artists and craftsmen that have mentioned work
they've done or could do on this site before. And I'll probably contact
you if that $200 doesn't get an awful lot bigger rather soon.

What I'm looking for is simple: a whole bunch of variant pieces that I
can use in large numbers, and get my friends to use. This means cheap,
decent, standard and standardized, and plentiful. I will take the best I
can get, however.
