GM Gems: A Collection of Game Master Inspiration—PDF

Is there a way to know how long that might take? I ask only because I have some customers waiting to buy it and buy it here.

I'm afraid I don't know. Basically, they have to place an order from Goodman (if they haven't already), and then Goodman has to ship it, then they have to check it in, and then we can order more. So I'd suppose at least a week (which may already have started).

Werd!

and

Oh noes!

Well my copy just showed up. Have not had much of a chance to really read through it but I'm liking what I have glanced at so far.

Thanks, Vic.

Can it still be ordered here, even if the supply is currently depleted?

Thanks for picking up a copy, Jeremy. I hope you love it more than I love yak butter sculptures--if that's even possible.

Are those sculptures in yak butter, or....little yaks sculptured of butter? And would margarine work to sculpt yaks?

I was afraid my wording left it ambiguous. I meant sculptures comprised of yak butter. I've mastered the easiest one, "Yak Butter Heap," but I'm moving on to "Globby Yellow-White Skull."

If you haven't tried it, you just don't know what your missing.

Isn't yak butter kinda pinkish?

Cow butter's white I know's.

Isn't yak butter kinda pinkish?

Although some people think pink yak butter comes only from yaks with irritated nipples, in truth, yak butter is the psychoactive substance that inspired the mood ring. When people are happy, the yb is yellowish and white, when people are sad, it's blue--yes, that's from where the expression 'feeling blue' derived. And when one is feeling ragingly horny, it turns pink.

Which means every time you've seen yak butter, Daigle, you were feeling erogenous. Now I know what to get you for Xmas.

Yak-butter sculpting aside...

I drifted over to the Goodman website for the free preview - Short Encounters for Short Attention Spans. Noice work!! If the rest of the book is like this, it is one I must have! Several of those entries have already flagged themselves with the 'Use me! Use me NEXT!" flag. Good stuff!

I went and goggled this. Yak butter looks much like cows butter. There is a picture here.

Thanks, Doc. That preview was just one article of the many.

Despite GM Gems already being Goodman's #2 selling product and RPGnow's #7 download Paizo is still waiting on a first review. I'm hoping someone will chime in and opine about how this book is so incredibly dense, inspired and consistent, though all that is really only a secondary selling point when you score Kate Beckinsale for the centerfold. She's reclining against a dire bearskin rug wearing only freshly plucked cabbage leaves upon her tinglies. WTG Zherog on that last minute celebrity connection!

Monstrously endowed bestial enthusiasts?

Obey the Slaw!

I blame an old Trivial Pursuit question.

Seriously, thank you to everyone who purchased this book. It means more to us than you can possibly know. You guys rock!

I only like mine in a freshly stitched Yak's stomach as a container, but I am olde skool like that....

HEY VIC WERTZ!!! Did my order make the cut to be shipped out? #887491 is my order and the status is 'pending'. *crosses fingers and several other odd appendages*

Thanks, Vic.

Can it still be ordered here, even if the supply is currently depleted?

It's backorderable now, yes.

Already gone. Wow!

Congrats guys - you know you have a popular product when. . .

The last copies of our distributors first shipment are on the way to us, and we already have orders against their second shipment, but because we have orders holding for other products and such, we can't easily tell who will get served from any given shipment. Either way, though, it shouldn't take too long to get them in.

Well, I liked it.

GGG

it would be interesting to know how many were in the original shipment.

i would also like one of these. will paizo have the pdf version available?

Seriously, thank you to everyone who purchased this book. It means more to us than you can possibly know. You guys rock!

Yes, thankyouverymuch!!!

I am wondering why is this not being offered in pdf format, as it is at rpg now?

I would like to buy it, but due to my geographical circumstances I will not be ordering unless you guys make it available on pdf.

I really hope you guys can help me out on this!

I, the great Yu Huang--though you may call me Tian Go­ng--do hereby decree that the pulsing moonbeams shall form a rail from the heavens to the world. Upon this rail shall ride a car of radiant gold, propelling forward by a red monkey with a pack of scrolls on his back, each destined to change the fate of man in ways soon to become legend. And.. and what is this? A hardcopy of GM Gems for Kruelaid.

Yes, the August Personage of Jade X-press Mail Service will reach even the most remote mountain pass, or caves deep under the ocean, or Sheboygen.

I, the great Yu Huang--though you may call me Tian Go­ng--do hereby decree ...

Some of you might not realize that The Jade is quoting an entry from one of the articles that didn't make it into GM Gems, namely "50 Entertaining yet Incomprehensible Fantasy Roleplaying Message Board Posts." It included Steve Greer's "Ode to an Impenetrable Metallic Tower" and John Ling's review of Cloverfield written entirely as e3.5 stat blocks. For some reason that entire article was cut in the final edit.

I was figuring a guy who lived in China might applaud me casting myself into the role of GM-Gems-delivering Jade Emperor/Heavenly Grandfather. A bomb has been surgically transplanted into my heart and if I don't hear adulatory clapping at least once every ten minutes I'll explode!

I've just sent an e-mail to Joseph Goodman; hopefully we'll have it soon!

Disjunct user. (See, I learn)

Backordered....

This'll teach me to wait until I have the money to order things... :-P

Congratulations to the Cabbages... And condolences to those that are in a holding pattern for this, like me.

Congratulations to the Cabbages...

Thanks Disenchanter! The support here is fantastic. I Hope you get yours soon - then you should write a review! We'd like feedback almost as congratulations.

Bwaha! Thank you. That laugh made my day.

Hmm. What's this little gem doing way down here on the list?
::brushes thread off and puts back on the top of the pile::
So, comments? Anything? Like? Hate? Too much of a tightwad to purchase? :p

I think there should be many more products like this!

That was truly beautiful. I wept.

But as luck would have it I can now have this tidy tome shot through tunnels of glass fiber underneath the vast pacific ocean.

Sorry. My copy still hasn't shipped yet. I know that I can get the PDF, and I likely will. But for all the convenience of having my library in PDF form on my laptop, I still can't really read a product on it.
