Thanks,

Hector.

I think pretty much everyone would like that too....BUT...since this was developed to support NTRPG, there has to be a "bonus" for those that could make it out there.

IF Bill is going to give an option for that....definitely get his on mine too

Great cover design!

Order placed last night & also posted about it on my blog.

BTW, this is a standard-size module rather than the digest size reprint from a few years ago,

Just wanted to be very clear on this:

The Palace of the Vampire Queen module was done to support the NTX! So if you have not ordered one, help Doug out. He spends a ton of his own money to put on this convention.

Thanks to all of you who are supporting this fantastic convention!

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

A few notes on this project:

I am going to keep selling the remainder of the V2 Palace of the Vampire Queen modules until they are sold out. I want to sell as many as possible to support the convention. Doug devotes a ton of time and money to make the NTX possible. Every purchase helps the con.

I want to thank Pete Kerestan for making this project possible. I had several opportunities to sit down and talk to him about the module and his other wee warriors products. Pete is a class act.

To be clear, the module is a full size product (8.5 x 11) with a separate card stock cover like all Pacesetter modules. The AD&D conversion is done in the same format as modules like Keep on the Borderlands. There are no player description text blocks. I wanted to maintain an old school feel.

I want to thank all of you who have supported this project.

Did he wind up signing any of the copies you had for sale or still have? Just curious whether any of us who hadn't been at the con got lucky with some signed ones.

I have no idea how many were signed or even if any of the signed copies left the convention with Bill.
I purchased two signed copies and they are now stashed in my cabinet.

NOTE: Bill... thank you so much for having a venders table at the convention and holding attendee's purchased items for local pickup.

I picked mine up while I was there and I am very pleased with it. I recommend it to anyone who couldn't make the convention.

Unrelated: Nice to finally meet so many of you in Texas.

Thanks for making this module available, Bill. Picked mine up at the Con and got Peter to sign it. I like what you did with the AD&D conversion and how it sits side by side with the text of the original. Nice expansion without being too much and is still totally old-school goodness. Well-worth getting, especially as it benefits Doug (who is as nice a guy as I have ever met) and the Con.

A quick note to say that all orders have been shipped. If your order included TM3, it shipped yesterday. If not, it was shipped end of last week and most likely via first class mail.

Also, I want to say again that it was my pleasure to produce this module for the NTX. Palace of the Vampire Queen is a living piece of gaming history and I feel very lucky to be a small, very small, part of it. I really tried to keep my conversion small and tight. In no way did I want to take possession of this classic module. I can't thank Pete Kerestan enough for taking the time to sit with me and talk about it. He is a class guy!

By the way, I will have another announcement coming up on this module this week. I just need to work out a few things.

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

I got the package today. The module looks great. One problem: I paid for two copies, but only got one in my package. Will send a PM.

Responded. Just so everyone is 100% clear on this: the actual order does say Quantity: 1. Z brought that up in his pm. I have confirmed that he did pay for two copies, but the order lists a total of One. I reviewed the other 100+ orders and this is the only order with this issue. I have sent Yahoo an email and the order number so they can investigate it.
