I truly hope all improves and PPP does work.
I've loved the material that has gone out so far.
Despite having more money already "invested" on future pre-orders and very long uncertain waits so far on BC LE, I will no doubt buy again, although never again on the pay first, wait and see model

Thus I speak in a formal capacity when I say that I completely understand your intentions were good, Michael. Rob does have to come online soon. Apologies are in order from him. However, I felt that it would be more effective to first speak with actions and complete all orders first. In fact, I felt very strongly that no apology could possibly be complete without first resolving all outstanding commitments and obligations.

Otherwise, what good would words be other than to just stir things up again and open only partially healed wounds?

PPP will make good on all obligations to its fans and supporters. We will soon be announcing significant changes to PPP's business model. Frankly, some of those changes were made in this thread. We appreciate that advice!

PPP owes its clients better service and a more certain relationship. The new Website is part of that package.

Michael, I'd like to thank you for not demanding that we move from Improv without notice. I appreciate your giving us ample time to do so,  even though we differed in our opinions about what actions PPP should take at this immediate time.

Not to take away any of mine and many others high level of appreciation regarding Grodogs many posts .....

That was (IMO)  Absolutely the most thoughtfully written statements regarding a long term solution to the this topic I have seen in what...?

Something like 40 pages of posts.

I hope all your hopes and good intentions pan out... I truly do.

Very nice.

I wish you guys luck.  People are usually very forgiving if they are able to get redress; just remember how important communication is in the scheme of things.

I hope that this will include freelance writers and artists who are owed for their work too.

On April 9 I ordered a copy of Bottle City from PPP because Eric Shook personally guaranteed that he would make sure it would be shipped in a couple of days. I hope and trust to receive my copy soon.

Personally, I the tardiness of item and the politics of the company don't have much impact on me.  My issue is more strictly product based.  When I order something that is $150 + $10 for shipping, I kind of expect to have it shipped to me so that it remains in new condition.  Instead, I end up with a map that isn't signed (although it is suppose to be) and a module booklet that looks like it has been through the mill a bit (with a number of minor spine creases and one more major one).  All because it was shipped in an oversized padded envelope without any cardboard or even a "Do Not Bend"  written on it.  How did your copy fair on the overseas transport?

The solution to my predicament is to send the items back to PPP along with the shipping materials that I would like it sent back in.  Ideally, I want the map shipped in a tube and the module in an envelope with cardboard. I was under the impression that this was how they were going to be shipped in the first place.  To buy these materials and pay to ship them to PPP so they can ship them back to me is probably going to run me about $25.  I'm glad they will cover the postage back to me but to be honest, I really don't want to fork over another $25 on this so I sit here with what I have and bask in the glory of knowing I helped out old school gaming.

Don't mind me though, I'm a bit pissy since someone spray painted the side of my truck last night and I'm a bit bitter today.

It was my prize for playing in "Bottle City" at Gen Con last year, so it's numbered "COMP." (Just thought I should note that now, so nobody's confused at my estate sale in 50 years.)

lol..............

IIRC the comps were standard edition, Ian, not limiteds.
