Thanks for the update on the ship schedule.
When a foul wind starts blowing, the sky suddenly darkens, and it begins raining frogs, I'll know that it has arrived.
Well, I had been hoping to get it in by my birthday by the end of the month, but I guess I can stand another couple weeks beyond it. :3
We took an extra week or so to fix typos etc. identified in the pdfs by some of you. The shipping to myself (and Paizo) will take a week or so, then I'll start shipping out to you guys at a rate of 50 or so books a day. Sorry for the brief delay, but since a few errors were found, I wanted to fix them!
Very, very, very cool. While typos in products aren't the end of the world, more eyes on a product will see more of them. PDFs are easy to fix. Printed products not so much. By staggering the two releases, you've given the opportunity to improve the print product. Kudos.

Sweet!
That will give me additional time to build the steel reinforced table for the hobby room to hold it!

Awesome - thanks Bill!
I just reviewed the proofs and gave the printer the go ahead to print.
Soon, my fellows... SOON!

Those poor Ink Mephits *shakes head sadly* FROG SPEED, MY BROTHERS!
When a foul wind starts blowing, the sky suddenly darkens, and it begins raining frogs, I'll know that it has arrived.Neither snow nor rain of frogs nor foul winds nor darkened skies stays these couriers from the swift completion of their accursed rounds
There, minor correction. :)
I'm assuming Bill will email those who have prdered, shortly, to check correct shipping address, etc?
Ack.
Counting the days!
Ink mephits? I thought the tome was written in blood!?
Ruyan.

Nope. It's printed in ground-up Ink Mephits.
Soilent White is Paper Mephits.

I couldn't wait for the printed tome to arrive. So to terrorize my party I printed up the pages for Greruor, Herald of Tsathogga, Quantum, Deep Hunter Sea Serpent, and Tsathogga to use in tonight's game. Let the Frog God's assault begin!
This sounds VERY cool!
Sounds like I need to pick up a copy!
Just so you (and anyone else who has the same thought) knows, in order to get a print copy of Tome at this point you have to buy it through the Paizo store.
Hi Bill and/or Chuck,
Will the sample encounters and lair pdf be available before the Tome is mailed?
It has been created and sent to Bill. I'm not sure when the web folks will be able to make it available to the public.

Just a quick repeat in case Bill pops into the thread. =)
Elore--if you sent me an email bill@talesofthefroggod.com I got it--heck; send another if you moved!
Bill
Cool deal. I sent you two e-mails on June 28th with my new street address, so that should be good. Just making sure as I don't want someone else to get their grubby hands on my Tome of GM Happiness!
Sooo looking forward to this. I will hoard this in my vaults, only releasing monsters from it occasionally to terrify the world. I will try to use these monsters responsibly and as a force for good, but horrors rarely work as a force for good, so prepare to face your reckoning, mortals!
I wonder how many people are going to be punched in the face by their mail carrier in August.
Please let us know!
Are the PDFs updated, too?

Okay now I have visions of teams of mail carriers at Bill's house...
"So, Bill Webb is it? We brought you these 1500+ HEAVY books to your home and now you want to send them out again?" *sadface*

Putting two and two together, anyone notice the crazy weather we've been having as we get closer to the release date of this thing? Earthquakes in Colorado and the East Coast, and reports of a hurricane heading our way. An unholy storm is brewing...

And that should be September before anyone gets excited.

Nope, it is so heavy mail carriers will go back in time to punch you preemptively.

Awwww....
My mail carrier hates me already I get sooo many books shipped to my house. The 4 copies of TOHC might piss him off to the point that he runs over my second dog as he did my first.
I'm pretty sure that comes light-truckload. On a skid. Hope you have a loading dock. And a dolly. And a shipping/receiving department.
ps--figure 7-8 pounds per book, x 2000 books....wow, good thging I have a concrete floor
Wow! 8 tons of horror! :)

I'm not American, so I didn't notice your weather. However, the summer thunderstorms around here do look and sound more apocalyptical than usual.
When the mailman rings at midnight, I'll know what exactly he wants to deliver!
Hm... "When the Mailman rings at Midnight". Great name for a music album!

Thats fine. As long as you keep us informed we can be patient....
Bill,
How is the schedule looking? Still fairly solid?

I approved final binding today, so everything is on schedule.
