Chances aren't great, yet. It's on my radar, but honestly just not a high priority given everything else I'm managing right now.
It's a good question. Can you ask it in August? My July is totally on fire!
Books are here, along with a nice autographed picture .
YAY!
Tech and Magic do not mix.
Nice. Hadn't thought about using magic to harden the playdoh.

"What are you doing?" asked Simon's colleague as he watched Simon continue to smash a chunk of playdoh against his wallpaper. "Are you getting a blood spatter off the wall, so you can track the person?"
"No." Answered Simon, frowning at the wall and smashing the lump of playdoh harder.
"Have you already linked to another chunk of the playdoh, and you are pushing here so the effect will happen there?"
"No." Answered Simon, once more frowning at the wall and smashing the lump even harder.
"Well, I give up what are you doing?"
"Trying to get this stain off the wall," Grinned Simon. "Its been bugging me for days now. You do know that is what playdoh was originally invented for right?"
Hard to say. It's the sort of thing that people can easily home-brew themselves.
If I wanted to sell this as a bonafide product rather than a "hey, let's coordinate a group effort" thing, the markup wouldn't be 25%, it'd be more like... 300%. Because if you sell a product into distribution, you're only going to get about 40% of it back, minus costs of shipping and assembly and construction. So what I'd need to find as a publisher is a way to get those chip costs down to about 10 or 15 cents per, if I wanted to put out a reasonably priced ten or more chip set in the $8 range.
I like UPS, never had an issue with them except during Katrina. So I cut them some slack for that.
Always delivers on time, easy to track, does not "pretend to try to deliver" for an afternoon off. Beeen using them for years with e-bay, newegg - etc etc. Better than Fed-ex, or the Replacement mail lady that skips delivering for an afternoon to get home early.
A large number of excellent options have already been suggested, and I'm sure you could use those effectively. However, if I could chime in as well, I'd say one of the keys is to let the various avenues they're pursuing arise from actions and connections they make in game. That way when they do begin to come into their powers they'll feel more organic.
