Over the past six weeks, I have contacted Brave Halfling twice - very nicely - to ask about Delving Deeper and when I would get mine.

I don't think it exists.

I guess that makes my copy a rarity.   Still a shame how thing went over at BHP.

I am still hopeful on a few of the Kickstarters I have backed.

Metamorphosis Alpha may eventually produce.

The Shadow Realms - or whatever - kickstarter I pledged might happen.  (Pledged back when the concept was new.)

There is probably a large pile of them in a closet or garage.

I would bet the problem there is instead they have none and would have to print up more to fill unfilled orders.  There are just too many people out there that have never gotten copies.

I'm still waiting on a copy of the Delving Deeper boxed set to be shipped to me.  My order was one of the conversion orders, converting my order for one of the Swords & Wizardry White Box boxed sets that BHP used to produce to one of the Delving Deeper boxed sets that BHP was producing for a while.  

I've emailed John a few times over the two-year wait, just to confirm that I was still in line to get a copy.  Until the most recent attempt to contact him last week, I always received a timely reply and a positive confirmation of my order.  Of course, last week *was* Christmas, and everyone gets slammed by emails over the holidays.  So, I followed that email up with another one tonight.  

Here's hoping I'm still in the shipping queue for a copy.

Although I agree with you completely. I am not even sure if I pre-ordered this, I thought I had, but I stupidly purged all my old emails right before my Kickstarter. Even if I did, I would not be hopeful that there is even a reliable record of it.

Making games for such small markets is a gamble and small press companies have the most to gain by a working pre-order system. The most to lose as well, exhibit A is the topic of the thread...

As someone who wants to produce more games I see the allure of taking pre-orders but, unless I am willing to give KS a cut again, I doubt I will. Since I know a large number of people to whom I would be hoping to sell games to, I do not think the social consequences would be easy to overlook and impossible to recover.

Reputation is too hard to get and too easy to lose.

It is sad actually and I hold no ill-will toward John, but if I were him I would either show all his cards or just surrender.

I got an email from John with a tracking number.  

I have no ill will toward John or Brave Halfling.  I just wanted a response, one way or the other.

Here's hoping the best for the Appendix N Kickstarter.  I backed that as well.
