Hi Jeff, just wanted to know whether you were still in the process of shipping?

Thanks,
Jorge

Mine is also on its way. When I spoke to Jeff he was ploughing through them

Thank you Jeff !!! I look forward to receiving this.

As per my email Jeff, it's here and in great condition. Looks a fantastic set and I will endeavour to use the rules and setting ideas certainly.


As an aside to anyone else who is buying into the AS&SH, my Charnel Crypt copy has 3 pairs of pages that are joined at the top edge. Jeff hasn't seen or heard of any others, so I'm interested to see if it's a one off or if anyone else has theirs joined too. I appreciate some of you shrink junkies might never know....

I actually sent out 4 boxes to France yesterday, but I'm not sure that completes all the French orders, yet. I have not yet sent out emails out to notify the customers of their coming shipments, but I should be doing that some time very soon.

Cheers,
Jeff T.

Here is a new flyer I put together for the AS&SH game. I will print these for my next two conventions:

• Carnage Noir, in Vermont, November 2-4.
• Anthocon, in New Hampshire, November 9-11.

Recieved mine the other day as well

Thanks

Brette:)

Received mine also. Packaged flawlessly.

I gotta tell you: I am very impressed so far (started reading a couple of days ago). It is put together really well, high quality materials for the manuals, maps and box itself. The book art is amazing, old school and charcoaly; look like action b&w photos. Very nice development of D&D (should I say OSRIC) concepts.  Box cover art is great also.

Kudos to Jeff and his team. Hope to see more of this in the future.



Hector.

Hello fellows,

@ashmire13 -- I'm so happy to hear your positive reaction to the game. Very kind of you to take the time to mention it here. Much obliged, and please stay in touch!

@beasterbrook + @lokiwookie -- Thanks for letting me know! I'm happy to hear your games arrived safe and sound.

@Chucho68 -- Thank you for your nice comments. I'm happy the game resonates with you in all the ways you mention, and yes, Ian does use charcoal for much of his work.  There will indeed be more in the future!

@aia -- I'm happy to hear your copy arrived safely. Italy can be tough to ship for, as the customs agents are notorious for opening packages. I am happy to answer your questions/comments:

1.) Noting the average amount of playtime hours, I thought, was a neat little addition that I had never seen done before. It probably was not necessary, but I like it just the same.
2.) The spiral binding should be able to withstand a decent amount of abuse. Firstly, I invested in a spiral binding machine that was more expensive than many of the alternatives. This machine punches what is described as "D-shaped" holes (more like two D's back to back that create a sort of oval shape), and the concept behind these is that there is less stress on the paper when turning pages. Next, the spiral coils I invested in are a very smooth, high quality plastic that also is much less stress on the paper than metal wire alternatives. Next the paper we are using is a durable 28 lb. stock. So, with all these combined, I feel that the books are not mere collector's artfacts to remain in a box (well, that is fine, too -- this is the Acaeum, after all!), but they manuals can be used for play.
3.) I'm happy you like the dice. They are in fact from a fellow who retired from the dice business years ago; similar to Zochhi dice, but not quite.
