What's the internal treatment of the pages in this book going to be? Is it going to be done in the normal Paizo fashion with high-gloss and color?

Nope—it's in the normal Malhavoc fashion, with a black-and-white interior.

Alright, thanks.

Hello Vic,

I already preordered the book.
Any way to still add an article to this order?
Actually you mentioned that it would take some more time until shipping of the book can begin.

Thanks for your help!

It hasn't arrived yet, so there's still time. Just send the details to customer service!

Pax Veritas (Pathfinder Adventure Path Charter Subscriber; Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, Pathfinder Modules Subscriber), Sat, Jan 17, 2009, 08:00 AM

Any ETA?

Erik Mona (Publisher), Sat, Jan 17, 2009, 01:51 PM

We're currently planning to ship preorders in the last week of January or the first week of February, kind of depending on when precisely the ship gets into port. Stuff seems to be arriving a touch earlier than we expect lately, but there's no indication that this will be the case here.

Okay... one word... uberfeats. That alone is reason enough for me to buy. Just out of pure curiosity.

Plus, it has the tasteful portrait of Monte watching TV with his pet jaculus on the front cover. ;-)

Any word on will it be released 28 Jan?

It's supposed to come into port today, so barring unforeseen holdups with the delivery or in customs, it should show up this week.

houstonderek, Mon, Jan 26, 2009, 04:21 PM

Looks like DriveThruRPG has it. My thought is to order from PAIZO using my holiday discount. Can you please let us know when it is available for order without needing the "preorder" status. That status messes up the shipping discount. Thank you.

delabarre (Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, Pathfinder Adventure Path, Pathfinder Chronicles, Pathfinder Companion Subscriber), Wed, Jan 28, 2009, 11:07 AM

Working As Designed -- discount codes are no available for preorders.

DriveThru has The Book of Experimental Might and its sequel in PDF form—those two electronic products have been combined (and made available in print form for the first time) as The Collected Book of Experimental Might.

I'm told it arrived in port on schedule on Monday, but it has not yet arrived in our warehouse.

crazy_cat (Pathfinder Adventure Path Charter Subscriber; Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, Pathfinder Chronicles Subscriber), Fri, Jan 30, 2009, 09:13 AM

Vic - any news? Is this in stock yet, is it going to come off pre-order before January winds up? Are we going to be able to use our Xmas discount codes on it?

Sorry—it didn't arrive today, so it won't come off preorder before the discount code expires...

Shame:(
But thanks for the quick response.

Lord Raptor, Thu, Feb 5, 2009, 09:42 PM

Yay its now listed as pending! :D

Erik Mona (Publisher), Thu, Feb 5, 2009, 10:15 PM

Very shortly now.

So do those of us who pre-ordered and waited with varying degrees of patience get in on the 500 signed gig?

This was kind of a last-minute thing, and because we didn't plan for it in advance, they're going out to the first 500 shipped, which may be different from the first 500 ordered...

However, so long as your order isn't waiting to ship with another preordered product, you're pretty darn likely to get a bookplate.

Thanks Vic. AFAIK, my other stuff was just waiting for the BoXM, so I'll cross my fingers.

thorindale, Fri, Feb 6, 2009, 07:49 PM

Just ordered mine.

Mikaze, Fri, Feb 6, 2009, 07:58 PM

I was on the fence about getting this, but after seeing something called "Crazy Legs Charge" in the table of contents, I have to have it.

Thanks for reminding me—I should mention we added some sample pages to the product listing!

David Wickham (Pathfinder Chronicles Superscriber; Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber), Fri, Feb 6, 2009, 08:24 PM

Aww... the 500 are signed?

Think there will be any signed ones left in April or so?

I think I might have some extra money by then...

Sharoth (Pathfinder Chronicles Charter Superscriber; Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, Planet Stories Subscriber), Fri, Feb 6, 2009, 08:28 PM

~grimaces~ Mine is still pending. Methinkiths that I will NOT get one of the signed copies, despite preodering early. ~grumbles~ Oh well. It still looks like a good read.

Most are still pending—we *just* started shipping them.

David Wickham (Pathfinder Chronicles Superscriber; Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber), Fri, Feb 6, 2009, 08:38 PM

I must have no self control, because I just ordered this.

I hope i get a signed one! :D

~grins~ Well Vic, I just have learned that if I keep my expectations low, then I will not be disapointed. If I get a signed copy, then that will be good. If not, then I will be ok with that. ~prepares to go off an have a good pout if I don't get a signed copy~

As long as your order isn't hung up by things like waiting for some future preorder or some back ordered item. If you just ordered the book, or added in some Paizo product, you should almost assuredly get one of the signed ones. If you tagged on to some future release or a back order, you will probably miss getting a signed one. The first 500 out the door get the signed ones. We had more than enough to cover the preorders, so hopefully that will work for you!

Okay—my order has been placed, and it was worth the wait to learn that it will be autographed. This certainly saves me a trip to Shorewood, WI, (ha ha) and will make a welcomed addition to my collection beside Ptolus and his other works.

Thank you, paizo!

Franz Lunzer (Pathfinder Chronicles Charter Superscriber; Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, GameMastery Cards Subscriber), Sat, Feb 7, 2009, 06:50 AM

Placed my order for it several weeks ago, along with some pdf's. So, it should be comming with the autograph. NICE!

Got email this morning showing order as shipping, even got the UPS tracking number. YIPPEE!!!!

Sigil (Pathfinder Adventure Path, Pathfinder Modules Subscriber), Mon, Feb 9, 2009, 01:10 PM

If I placed an order right now, what are my chances of getting a signed one?

The chances are pretty much 100% if you order right now, though we are selling this book at a rapid pace, so don't delay if you want an autographed one!

Hey everyone!

Thanks for the kind words in this thread. I hope you enjoy the CBoXM. And I hope this is the start of a beautiful friendship with Paizo Publishing. These guys rock!

And as long as I've got your attention for a second, I'll add that you might want to keep an eye on montecook.com over the next few weeks for some more cool announcments.

Thanks again!

Welcome to the boards, Sir!

The collaboration between you and Paizo has been giving me goosebumps since it was first announced. I look forward to what you can accomplish together.

TriOmegaZero (Pathfinder Adventure Path Charter Subscriber; Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, Pathfinder Chronicles, Pathfinder Companion Subscriber), Mon, Feb 9, 2009, 04:27 PM

So, since mine shipped today, that means I got a signed copy. Sweet.
