Glad to hear it :D

I'm not quite sure what the project schedule will be for next year yet. Hopefully Rob'll have some more detail soon.

Such an understatement. Allan's contributions are Herculean in every aspect.

Well, before Merlynd's, I'd like to get those "Demonic and Arcane" products! Hopefully, Rob can make a living with this sort of slower output...

I also transcribed the original manuscript for the free web enhancement. I also co-DM'd it with Rob at GenCon, which was a blast. I'm really looking forward to BC arriving in peoples' hands, since I think it's PPP's best product yet.

I'm looking forward to it!

Been a long time since I've logged in, but I've been watching this thread. Didn't I pay for this back in April or something?

So any update as to the shipping?

Thanks.

Allan posted a bit of info in the "Delta Green" thread in the Non-TSR area. Basically, Rob is still fighting an illness. My suggestion was to get him to log onto USPS.com and see about shipping the items from his house. If he has a scale at home he's all set....just needs some stamps (or to print his postage) and the mailman will pick up from his house. Unfortunately unless they go out this week we won't be seeing them this year I'm afraid...

Here's what I posted in the other thread, just to have it all in one place:

I don't know what going on there, Mike. Rob's alive, I had someone confirm that last night in person, but he's still not doing well health-wise. Hopefully I'll hear more from Rob directly, soon

I would love to receive Bottle City this year, but Rob's health is far more important. I'm content to wait as long as necessary for him to recover. I'm sure BC will be shipped sooner or later. I'm so confident of this, I even placed an order for a couple of copies of "El Raja Key's Arcane Treasury and Daemonic & Arcane" a couple of days ago.

Honestly this entire affair has got me to thinking what I would do in the same situation...since like Rob I'm a single-source online business. I would say moving my shipping online has immensely streamlined this aspect, and I would recommend printing out postage on your computer to anyone...I can't believe I was Luddite enough to wait so long to do it!

Wow, thanks Allan...straight from the horse's mouth! Hopefully Rob will recover from his illness and get caught up.
