The project's editor gave an update on BHP blog on January 28. Long story short, he says, " a few more weeks."

FYI, it looks like the gaming boxes w/ EO art are going to be ready next week, so I imagine they'll be shipping soon after

So... I'd guess very, very small

Looking forward, thanks for the update!

I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

The boxes are ready and I will pick them up on Sunday evening. I will then wrap and box them for shipping. They should start shipping by Wednesday if not earlier.

I will update folks on my blog and website later this evening (with a picture of the wrap proof).

Another game box, but this one has a new piece by Pete Mullen. I will offer it too in the next few days.

I am about three hours from home, mini-van full of boxes.

Then it must be my fault. I am changing my business model a bit (including never taking pre-orders again and send confirmation emails upon each purchase with the day it will ve shipped), so I hope this kind of thing does not happen again - and folks who purchase from BHP will receive the item in a timely manner.

John,
I think everyone understands the pitfalls of small publishing. We intend to do our best and we make mistakes. But we also learn as we move forward. Onward and upward!

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

Yeah, we understand. In the end, though, the important thing is that the orders are eventually fulfilled, and it looks like you've got it handled. More than I can say for some others.

Delays are a part of the game with small press publishing.

Oh, yeah, I agree with bbarsh's sentiment completely.

As a small-time writer myself, I completely sympathize and empathize with the frustration involved in an endeavor like this.

Thanks,
Keith
