The Slumbering Tsar Saga

[Chris Mortika]

For what it's worth, I've been running "Slumbering Tsar" as a Play-by-post on these boards. Feel free to go over there and see how the party went off the rails almost immediately.

"And he goes down!"
"Can we heal him?"
"Can you ... what?"

For collector buffs (and coming soon as a frog page addition), is my ebay store. I bought out all back stock from all my publishing partners. Selling under Amazon prices, but some are above retail, a they have gotten collectable.

All the ones I have seen are 250-400 personally. Though to be fair, the on Bill is offering unless I am wrong. Is still in the shrink wrap and never been opened, unlike most others.

I don't suppose you'd just happen to have some of those at hand during Paizocon? I don't happen to have an ebay account at present but I really want a copy of the Crystal Skull. If it is possible I can bring a sufficient quantity of real dollars to trade for said adventure module, assuming cold hard cash is preferable to the bit that ebay will take out of your sale price for the priviledge of selling for you. If not, that is totally understandable as I can imagine you will be rather busy having fun at the convention. I still hope to see you there as well as Mr. Vaughan, (though I didn't get into any of his games despite my best efforts).

[tsathogga]

Made updates this am to the FGG site--site migration to the new server is done, and we should have out new site designed ina couple weeks! That being said, the site actually has the news.

and yes, the #999 is shrink, perfect, out of the case, and then last one I have for non-personal use. I don't really want to sell it--but was under a directive from the wife.

I actually have been tracking sales of various books on Amazon and Ebay for a year or so; I took average and dropped it 15% and thats how I priced stuff.

btw--if another book that you need is not listed on my e-store, its probably either not for sale, or really cheap; e.g. I did not list VCruicible because they sell for like $4, and I did not list Abysthor because I only have 4 copies. That being said, if you don't se a title that you want, email me, it might be cheap.

[tsathogga]

ps--Sasha, I was not planning to bring books (except as take-homes from the unlucky buggers who get Mr. TPK for their league games); but I'll bring you a copy.

Thank you very much Mr. Webb. :)

Just went to the URL to look at the site again and I can't find it. Did the site migration change the web URL? Or is the site down?

I just went there and it was up. I'm not sure which link you were using, but try just going to talesofthefroggod.com. There's a link in here that has /home at the end of the URL and that one doesn't work anymore.

Hope it helps.

I swear that's what I was trying. It now works. Maybe it was a momentary glitch - either from myself or the server, who knows.

[tsathogga]

I just checked it--it works. http://talesofthefroggod.com/index.html

my email is [e-mail]

So minor update; just got the chapter 2 proof copy. We should be done by next weekend and have chapter 2 posted and for sale. 600 page estimate may be a bit low--Chapter 2 was 74 pages by itself.

This thing is really, really big.

[Greg A. Vaughan]

[tsathogga]

Big announcement this weekend:)

I'll have a huge update this weekend--lots of stuff happening. Tsar Chapter 2 should be live Monday (maybe Sunday) or so as well.

Will the printed book be made out of chocolate dipped Bacon, soaked in beer?

[Dark_Mistress]

BTW can anyone else get on the necro forums? I just refuse to load for me for some reason. The necro site and frog site is up but no forums.

[Greg A. Vaughan]

Nope. No luck here either.

Yeah that's the one. I can't log onto it. It will just take forever to load and then display a blank page. No error message no nothing.

[Elorebaen]

2 more weeks before I can subscribe ... it is like torture!

[Greg A. Vaughan]

Necro forums are working again.

[tsathogga]

[Elorebaen]

Thank you for the updates!!! I am really looking forward to the gaming goodness.

Quick comments on FGG site:
- Delineate the news posts somehow. e.g boldface the date, a line, etc
- More paragraphs :) I imagine some <P> tags were left out somewhere down the line.
- Request: I would love to get a RSS feed to the site.

Best.

Same issue I had, I just went back through my old emails from when I initially purchased the subscription and used the link in the original email and I got the download from there.

Chris I just nopticed this thread and started reading it. That is awesome stuff! (Loved how it went with the Bender Bros.) I'm glad you guys are having fun with it. Hope the rest doesn't disappoint.

[tsathogga]

I am working on auto-notification; but your password and uder will alow you to download all the chapters if you subscribe (for a few years).

[scranford]

I can't figure out how to download part 2. Where do I do so?

[tsathogga]

Thanks that would be cool, as I'm in Puerto Rico right now, and my email with link is in Florida.

[bigkilla]

Or go here http://www.aplusdownload.com/index.html go to the buyer tab and put your login and password.

[tsathogga]

To login from Puerto Rico--et al :)

Go to

http://www.aplusdownload.com.

Then click on the menu option called Buyer (username your email addy)

If you forgot your password then the click on Forget password and reset the password.

btw--a couple of layout errors were caught by fans; so Chuck fixed them and I am reposting corrected files. That's the beauty of e-books.

[joela]

i look forward to purchasing the h/c when it's available.

[tsathogga]

Joela, the H/C is part of the subscription deal. In order to get one, you need to buy the subscription.

That being said, pod softcovers of the individual modules/chapters will be available soon.

[Werecorpse]

Finances clarified,

I am in.

[Matthew Morris]

Welcome, wc,

And just downloaded part II

[Greg A. Vaughan]

Sweet! Welcome aboard. I hope it meets expectations. :-)

[Daeglin]

Downloaded Part 2. Looks great!!

[Greg A. Vaughan]

Latest from PaizoCon:

Well, another successful running of the Tomb of the Sleeping Knight from the 2nd Installment of the Slumbering Tsar Saga (available now from Frog God Games at talesofthefroggod.com). Only 4 kills out of the 8 PCs, so I may have lost my touch a bit, but the wizard did make a near-miraculous Fort save that totally changed the dynamics of the climactic battle where I had managed to split the party into three groups (evil grin).

I ran this portion twice last year and once this year, so I'll probably roll out another piece for next year's PaizoCon and hang this one up. So if you want in on the glorious PC massacre that is the Tomb of the Sleeping Knight (sure you could go easier on the players, but why would you want to?) and much, much more, you'll have to get it in ST2 Slumbering Tsar: The Desolation, Part 2 - The Ghosts of Victory available at Frog God Games as mentioned above.

Happy gaming and thanks to my vict...er, players.

That is all.

Greg

[tsathogga]

Sasha, my email addy is necromancergames at yahoo dot come. Book in mail as soon as u ping me.

Ah, well. Thanks, anyway.

EDIT: Actually, not quite true, tsathogga. From Frog God Games:

Slumbering Tsar Saga: The Complete Epic Hardcover (non subscription)

This option includes the hardcover book, as well as a set of pdf files of the entire series. However, it costs more than the same product as that you pre-subscribe for (since we cannot plan and obtain print discounts etc.). Does not include shipping costs. This option will not be offered until after subscriptions close.

[tsathogga]

Yes; but not signed and numbered, and more expensive. Also, it might be missing a chapter off the subscription....

I already priced and figured out the printing through lightningpress to do the hardcovers. All prices do NOT include shipping. Too many fans in the UK, Finland and Western Australia to set a price for a 800 page book.

Only the subscriptions get the hardcover limited edition; signed and numbered by me and Greg. Extra hardcovers are still $125 each until I close subscriptions. Ping me if you want several and maybe we can work something out.

If there are extras (yes I am printing several extras) they will go to the first "X" people that order all of the loose chapters DIRECTLY FROM MY WEBSITE (not DTRPG, not at Paizo, just from me). After that, the hardcovers are going to cost a lot more, since printing 1 costs a fortune and printing 200-300 costs a lot less per unit. I am going to discontinue the $125 soon (after Gencon).

Pdfs are sold 3 ways (me, paizo, dtrpg). POD softcovers of each chapter will be sold at DTRPG for about 12 or 13 bucks for each chapter starting in August I am told (by DTRPG).

Oh yeah, since Lisa Stevens spilled the beans at Paizocon, the Limited Eds get an extra chapter otherwise unavailable...but I haven't even announced that on my site yet. After the subscription copies go away, so does the bonus chapter, forever, and its not in the pdf set. I did the same thing w/ Rappan Athuk Reloaded...I should probably have reprinted it, but did not because I said it was a limited edition.
