Updates on several fronts. First, thanks for your patience on shipping. I have invested in some bomb-proof shipping materials, that should arrive shortly. I expect to ship all back orders Monday or Tuesday next week. Next, I have in my hands (literally) the layout proof of Fane of the fallen (PFRPG version) and Matt has completed the S&W conversion, which Chuck is laying out now. Tsar 5 is also in layout, and should be ready to be posted in a week or so. The Complete S&W Rulebook is in final editing. Rowena has maybe 5 more pieces of art to complete and we will pass that book to Chuck.

Strange Bedfellows is next up, Matt will start the S&W conversion today, and the PFRPG version is ready to go thanks to Skeeter Greene! On the short book front, most of the planned ONS and SNS books are done in one version and awaiting translation into either S&W or PFRPG. Art has been ordered for all of them, and Robert has been cranking out maps. Splinters of Faith 1-4 are all done and edited, interiors done, and maps are done for 1-2. Rick will have the cover done very, very soon.

We are all on track for November releases for most of these as planned, but we have to make sure that Chuck gets some sleep too. We have picked up several writers (new and old), and I think may of you will be quite pleased when you see a few of the names. I will have many new book titles and announcements soon. One hint...does anyone like Viking adventures?

Yeah they are okay..I don't need any replacements.

The boxes must be pretty impressive. I was on the phone with Bill when he first saw them, and he said, "Okay, let me just get these into the house." Then there's a pause, and "Holy crap, these things must weigh 75 pounds." Then there's another pause and I get, "Okay, hold on, I've got to put the phone down..."

Glad it worked out. I bought 500 of those boxes last week--they seemed pretty nuke-proof.

Nuke-proof indeed!  Thanks so much for the great products and the great packaging.

probably another month or so--its only closing so I can plan printing. 2-3 people are still buying it every week; so i want to hold off as long as I can to support that; but soon (I'll give 30 days notice), I am going to have to cut it off just for cost logistics.

Gets you the hardcover and pdfs; not the softcover modules. I only added them because lots of people wanted them.

Shipping is separate.

I am also trying to figure out a "deal" on the other series--shipping is the hardest part

I appreciate the 30 day notice.  I have been thinking about it for a while and still haven't completed decided.
