I second (or second thousandth ;) ) the vote for reprinting Ptolus, BTW. Everyone should have one...

You know... if you'd asked me 2 or 3 years ago if I'd be willing to buy a second copy of Ptolus I'd have said no.. but today, if it meant more support... you know, like a Pathfinder RPG edition of Ptolus... I'd gladly spend the money to buy another copy of it.

So very totally signed, with absolutely no question whatsoever. Ptolus Pathfinder Edition, a notion that brings glee to me.

Just wondering. There isn't anything new in this printing then what was covered in the PDF versions right?

I never saw the PDF versions, so I can't comment with 100% accuracy, but my recollection is that this is a straight print edition of what was in the two PDFs. The intro from Monte is different, but otherwise, I believe it is the same.

-Lisa

Any chance we will see a pdf version of the complete book? Or at least the two pdfs on Paizo's website? The website they are selling the pdfs through is giving me problems just getting signed in.

What's your Ptolus number, Lisa?

(I bet I have you beat. Although I don't think I have a lower number than Erik Mona...)

My 2 copies of Ptolus aren't numbered or signed. So you most definitely have me beat there! :) Does your copy of the D&D 3.0 PHB have your name engraved on the front in gold lettering? Mine does. :)

Delabarre, what's your order number? I'll check on it and see why it might be held up.

Nvmd, it shipped four hours after I posted... :-D

My Ptolus number is 7, and my book contains signatures of all the players in Monte's campaign. :)

I don't have a numbered BOExM. Those go to the customers! :)

So does mine. :)

A Ptolus reprint would most certainly prove beneficial for lots of people out there who haven't been properly introduced to the goodness of Monte's setting. No question about it.

Showoffs! *g*

I figure now we'll receive notice that Paizo's reprinting Monte-goodness including Ptolus, since I just stimulated the economy by buying one on E-bay ;-)

I got mine! I'm Number 9! ;)

I just got mine!!!!! It is #5. YIPPEE!!!!!!!!

I just got mine!!!!! It is #5. YIPPEE!!!!!!!!

Ha! #4 Baby! So who has 3?

This is seriously something I'd like to have... Suppose I'll need to marshal my allowance for the next month or two...

#6 is accounted for.

If overtime hadn't been eliminated, this would have been a no brainer. I have both of the originals in PDF, and even without using the whole she bang, there are some really interesting ideas to snag in the book. I may yet convince myself to get a dead tree version.

Ptolus #7 with sigs from Monte's game ...just rub it in ;)

Mine is #156 with a ratman doodle, so I cannot complain too loudly...although, I may have to bring my copy to Gencon to get more signatures..

Ptolus signed by Monte is nice, but also having the signatures of Sue Cook and the proofreaders would be even better because those folks did an awesome job on that behemoth.

Agreed. I have Sue's signature on AE. I need to get her signature on Ptolus.

186/500 checking in! Just got here in the mail!

SQUEE!

Totally agreed. Plus players on Monte's group. Erik, Sean, I'm gonna ask you to sign my Ptolus volume...

BTW, I ordered the Collected BoXM just two days ago. Any chance of getting a numbered copy still?

#161. We are pleased.

21/500.

And I am shocked I got such a low number :)

#25 here. I must be such a sucker for 3.5 stuff, and boy Monte does good crunch.

I got the PDFs for good reason; I copy & paste the few items I use into a document for the players.

Got the hardcover because I wanted something to hold because it's just a darn good read. I like letting my head get carried away with possibilities...even if I don't use that particular part of the book.

I hear there are still several dozen left.

*giant cockroach voice on* Good... Good....

#24 here. The cover is slightly damaged on mine, and while I'd like to see if it's possible for Paizo to take care of that for me, I don't want to lose my place in line. 24 our of 500 ain't bad.

Well, if not much else is coming in terms of my subscriptions this month, I will probably order a copy. It depends upon the shipping costs, actually - if these get too high, I will order less.

Stefan

#117 here....looks like an awesome tome. Thanks folks.

Just ordered mine (along with PC Pearls and GM Gems). If everything works as usual, I should get it just a few days before my birthday :-)

Stefan

Just received #182 and #183.

#76 got mine in the weekend :)

began reading it...
the cleric intrigues me ... I will converting my clereic and seeing how it works :)

the wizard still i am not sure

#2 here! Hey, quit looking at me like that! Owning the company has to have SOME perks other than a constant drain on my banking account and a near constant need to work on things company related! :)

-Lisa

OMG! Monte got #1, Lisa got #2, and I got #3! I cannot believe my luck!!

I absolutely love you guys!!

But my Ptolus is unsigned. I stupidly waited until they were out of print -- and then had to spend an insane amount of money to get a copy. I'm sure the book is horribly expensive to print, but it would be fantastic to see this in print again.

Please?

Wow, sounds like me. Reading Ptolus now, but it's worth it. Heck, the free PDFs make it less painful.

Grumble I got #4, was hoping to have the first copy not 'in the industry' ;-)

The fact that the CEO of a company would say this, and that I would believe it implicitly is why you have my unwavering loyalty as a customer Lisa!

Get well soon!

Ordered on 2/13, shipped on 2/18, received on 2/23. I didn't preorder so I didn't get any of the obscenely low numbers. (The fact that they were signed and numbered did push me over the edge to order though.)

I got 219/500.
I ...think... that's the highest number accounted for so far.

And I think it's cool that you (Lisa) would be helping out in the mail room when time allows. I love the hands-on approach Paizo has with its customers, both the literal hands-on in the mail room, and the hands-on here in the forums.

Good stuff. Good stuff. And thanks to you or whoever convinced Monte to do some signed copies too. There's even a post earlier in this thread where you say he isn't doing any autographed copies.

Thanks Monte. Wouldn't forget to thank you too. Thanks for the signed copies.

Now... as to what everyone is saying about Ptolus, I've never read it but I'm intrigued.

I'll check my number when I get home - it's somewhere in the 200s.

I love the book, but it was weird seeing the Paizo Golem on book with a black and white interior.

Paizo color has spoiled me. :)

I tend to pick some orders almost every day. It gets me out of my chair and moving around in the warehouse. Plus, it is fun to see what people are buying. Besides, I seem to know where everything is in the warehouse for the most part, so sometimes there are items that people can't find and I'm like "Oh, I know where that is!" :)

-Lisa

Btw, for those keeping track of these things, I believe we will be shipping out #300 sometime today.

-Lisa

So, I will get something in the 300s if my order is processed in the next few days. (Not complaining or something - just stating that.)

Stefan

I have number 156. :)

124 here.

I'll probably end up with a copy in the 200s. That's cool, since I got copy 33/1000 of Ptolus. Others can enjoy the low numbers on this one. :-)

So, who got #1?

Already in the 200's and there are less than half of the first 25 reporting. Either someone's not paying attention, or they went overseas and haven't arrived yet.
