We got all of them out except a few weird orders (6 or so left) I am still sorting through--I probably made a few mistakes; so let me know if I did. I know in at least one case I shipped a book to an old address (and then shipped on to the correct address the next day).

Just kidding on my back--I am fine. My kid broke her ankle this week; so that added to the fun. Dawn, Killa and Skeet helped a ton, thanks again all.

Direct order books are all signed by me.

Tome of Adventure Design will release for pre-order on my website on or about September 28, and a few copies of Tome SW are still for sale; buttons go up on Monday.

Pathfinder Tomes arrived today well packaged and in beautiful condition... All I can say is 'Wow!' This beast totally dominates my bookshelf. Will be triply awesome when the Unlimited Edition is nestled side-by-side with this copy and the Swords & Wizardry Edition.

Congrats to all involved!

Hello Mrs. Cleaver, Theodore.

Gee, Mrs. Cleaver ... That certainly is a lovely dress.

I got my Swords and Wizardry version early this week.

The Tome of Horrors is a very nice volume.

:lol:

There was a horde of tiny, black ants inside the shipping box. They ran and scattered all over my dining room table when I opened it up. :lol:

Ah, you're the purchaser who won the giant ants! Um ... you DID catch them and box them up, right, because those suckers are going to grow fast...

I have to say that Tome of Horrors is laid out very nicely for modern game play.

The black and white print, lack of annoying border graphics and the page-per-monster approach make individual beasties easy to print out and use on the fly....which means the book is awesome for a modern DM.

I have the book packed away to avoid dings.

I am using pages from the pdf every week in my game.

Mine arrived at the post office last week, and I picked it up today.

It's a great looking book!
