It will be on heavier paper than the FRPGD version, and three times the page count!As for those who will not be at Gen Con, this edition is the special Gen Con edition. A full-fledged for-sale-normally version will be available soon thereafter. Things are in flux here, right now, so I won't say when just yet... because I don't know myself. I wish I knew, really, because then I could tell you...

jamesmishler wrote:I'm not doing this for the collectibility factor, per se. If I was, I'd be selling each at ~$20, rather than the ~$6 to 8 that should be the final price.I'm doing a Gen Con special because I feel that Gen Con attendees should be able to get something cool at the show that they can't get otherwise. Back in the day, you found all sorts of stuff like this, not because it was specially made to be limited, but because the market was so disarticulated, and a product that was common in, say, Baltimore might never be sold in New York, let alone Chicago.Today, with the Internet and our global marketplace, there's no longer anything that's unknown, that's seemingly unique. Frankly, I miss that factor at conventions. I also want to award those who put up the cash to attend the show. It's not cheap to go to these things, I am sure you are aware, but they are, in the current market, the best way to keep the spirit of gaming alive.Mixed reasons, but not for the collectibility alone. Everything that is in XXXI will make its way out through normal channels, though not necessarily together in this format. The Mycretian class will likely not be included in the final published version of Tell Qa; with the expansions I have planned for it, there's simply no room. The 20 encounters will remain (and will be expanded with more such encounters in the final Tell Qa product). The other bits will reappear, eventually, in their different products.

Due to my offer I've now got a list of fellows who want the XXXI product, and I don't want to blow all my cash in one booth! I'll be the guy picking up around 6-7 copies it looks like.... Mike B.

I don't *think* they accepted CCs last year, but I do not recall.I'll drop them a line and see what their plans are...EDIT: Just confirmed with Steve that yes, they will be taking credit cards, everything but Diners and Discover, or so he said (even AmEx, apparently).
