I got my shipping email from Bill on the 18th of August but still have no book.
Is this a normal delay for getting stuff to the UK?
Is there any way to track shipping?
Got shipping notification on the 4th, didn;t get to UPS until the 14th, and now it is still in the US. Long way to NZ yet!
And click on the shipping number on your email, will take you to the tracking page.
Got my copy, no. 217, should anyone be interested - and every book in pristine, undented condition. Nice!
Took 10 days for me. I got a tracking info email when it was shipped.I got my shipping email from Bill on the 18th of August but still have no book.

Similar here too, got the notification on the 4th but didn't start moving on the tracking for a few days. Mine shows as arriving in customs in the UK this afternoon - guess who goes on holiday for a week tomorrow :(
Mine is just about to clear customs! Hooray!
My players decided to make a foray into the sewers even with 2 players absent so with only 4 players it was a rout, 2 dead and 2 barely crawling away from the fight.

They made a post somewhere that although the shipping was beginning pre-GenCon there was going to be a brief hiatus. Next week their plan is to get stuck in and finish off the outstanding orders. It's possible your shipment hasnt gone out yet.I got my shipping email from Bill on the 18th of August but still have no book.

Ah, maybe I'm waiting then.
Perhaps I've not got a shipping e-mail yet? The title was just 'Your order: #############' Is that the shipping e-mail?
That's the title of the shipping emails I got. The body had tracking links for the packages.

Not a good idea to taunt the Great Pele!
Pleasant surprise. It turns out I pledged at the "signed and numbered" level. Enough time has passed that I'd long forgotten. So imagine my mood when I opened a box and found Nick's signature.
Very cool. Now I need to go back to snorting the fresh ink.
What showed up the day after I get back to Gen Con?- Razor Coast! The physical book is beautiful and I can't wait to give my friend his copy as a present. Also Bill, I had a nice time talking to you at your Gen Con booth. Looking forward to running my players through Stoneheart Valley, S&W version.
Mine is still stuck at international processing in the US, has been for a week- dagnammit!
Mine is now here in town! :D
At the post office... :)
Which I can't get to tonight... :|
Or tomorrow... :(
Until Wednesday. D:
To quote what I said on the product page:
ARRRRRRRRRGH!
USPS tracking says: Addressee requests own pick-up - Item being held, addressee being notified August 17, 2013, 9:19 am
But I got no notice yet. Should I be worried? I assume its held in customs and they needs to send out the notification, but nothing since Friday?
My copy has arrived. So many delicious hardcovers. Such a beautiful book. This is totally going to be my next campaign.
If I'm reading the number correctly, I'm lucky enough to have a double digit number signed copy. It's either 34 or 39

Not long after I wrote that post, I got my notification allright. Now off to the customs office, to pay my taxes...
Let's get the TL;DR up front:
I have bought the .pdf and now I want to buy the Hardcover. Why can't I?
Long story:
I really dig this AP, but navigating the .pdf is turning out to be a nightmare. It takes forever to load because the file's so huge; I can't bring it (or printed portions of it) on the subway with me, because nothing is in one place; for any given encounter near a certain level, I need to scan several places for all the relevant rules/backstory and those places are hundreds of pages apart (compared to maybe a dozen when dealing with one book of a regular AP) which is fine with a sticky note in a book but a pain with a .pdf.
Paizo.com will literally not even sell me the book+pdf combo, and I'd frankly rather pay something less than a Benjamin for the hardcover when I've already dropped two Jacksons.
Can anyone point me to a resource where I can inquire about buying a hardcover _by itself_, especially for _less than_ $100?
Just wanted to follow up on my own prior issue with this book to say:
I contacted Frog God customer service and they were awesome. Ready and willing to listen to customer concerns, swift in their responses, and supportive of their fans. Thanks Frog God!
Mine arrived all the way out in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The packaging looked like some of the post guys had a kickabout with it but fortunately had enough AC to resist the worst of it. Was shipped out on the 8th so it took 9 working days.

The book has just showed up at my door (the other side of the pond).
As one of the original pre-orderers (?) all the way back to Sinister times, I'd like to thank Lou, Bill, Greg, Tim, Richard, Adam, Frank and everyone involved in bringing this bloodthirsty tome back from the depths of the ocean.
It will now stand proudly beside other glorious hardcovers, such as Ptolus, The Shackled City, Rise of the Runelords, and Trouble at Durbenford.
Thanks guys.
I've got a bit of a question regarding Dragonsmoke. It's a drug on page 346. It's neat, but I have to wonder how anyone ever survives using it. An hour of confusion with a DC20 Will save every round. That's 600 Will saves. 25% of your failed saves you're going to hurt yourself. 150 x 4.5 = 675 hit points of damage available, reduced by however often you actually save.
This sounds more like poison than a drug. Am I missing something?

That might be reasonable. I'll propose it to my prospective DM. I just have an odd hankering for a Dragonsmoke-addicted cleric. At 5th he'd actually be able to break the addiction with remove disease but would occasionally relapse.
Thank you very much. For the awesome reply, and the awesome job you did getting this done.
Yay mine arrived here in NZ, great to finally get the books in my hand after 5? years. A long time anyway. I tried reading these on the iPad but this sort of intricate work needs the real thing for me, so will be getting into it soon (once I have finished WHFRP3 The Enemy Within).
The packing wasn't quite the normal FGG over kill, with only a bit of cardboard and one layer of bubble wrap that didn't go all around the books, so the corners got a bit dinged. Not to bad tho, they still look lovely!
I could not wait for the books and piled into the pdfs immediately. My group is already 2 sessions in. It will be quite a few more sessions though before they reach level 6. 2 dead and counting!

This will be a day long remebered!
Razor Coast finally arrived in Cologne, Germany, five years, four months and 18 days after I first ordered it from Sinister Adventures.
Thanks to everyone involved in making this a reality after all!

The new Enemy Within Campaign is gonna be my next read, care to spoiler me how does it compare to the old one?
There is a new Enemy Within campaign?
I'm assuming THIS is the The Enemy Within they're talking about. :)
Nice... I need to find out if this is available in print.
Ka-ching!

I've only just started, and it is nice in that there are 3 options for the enemy - with the GM encouraged not to choose to early in the campaign, or change their mind. There is a lot of depth and interesting stuff going on.
As to the original, I don't know, never read it. I have the rules for 1E and 2E but I never saw the campaign in shops over here in NZ. And wouldn't have got it anyway, as we only played D&D!
Now if there was a way to get the original cheaply...
EDIT: and to tie it in to this thread, there is depth and complexity to TEW, but it is not a patch on the beautiful tapestry that my skim read of the RC PDF showed me!
2 dead and counting!Your excitement at slaughtering your players kinda disturbs me.....How do I join your games?
I have this image of you throwing your head back, breaking into an evil maniacal laugh, while stroking a white Persian cat every time you kill a player. Sounds like so much fun.
Naw, just my killer border collie! I do keep a big white board to track the player deaths by game: RA 12, Slumbering Tsar 2 and Razor Coast 4.
I must be getting old. Only 18 dead in the last year. Time for some fresh meat! As for joining, all are welcome at my table, but be forewarned that few survive to play their 4th encounter!
It costs what it costs and books are heavy unfortunately. I'd rather pay a few extra dollars for pristine books (although I've never had an issue wit FGG books condition). You shouldn't take a hit on shipping, that's for sure.
Agreed. I don't want anything more than I pay for. I don't need mine pristine, so wrapped in lead boxes isn't called-for for me. I was okay with what was done this time.
