I purchased this yesterday, but for some reason the shipping was not included in the price. Should I just send it to Bill seperately or wait to be contacted when it is time to ship?Hi all,
...
As Bill has indicated, anyone who purchases this full subscription gets their hardback signed by himself and me plus some special bonus material. He has also indicated that once ST14 goes up for sale, the subscription option will no longer be available. ....
I believe no shipping was charged with anyone who purchased the pre-order as they do not now as of yet what shipping costs will be.
Can't find it.
Hey Greg - what are your favorite adventures of all time - and what inspired you to write Tsar?Geez, DaveMage, that's kind of like a 5,000-word answer. However to give you the short (and incomplete) of it:
what are your favorite adventures of all time--
Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth
Secrets of the Slavers Stockade
Dwellers of the Forbidden City
The Temple of Elemental Evil
Probably others that I'm missing at the moment...what inspired you to write Tsar?--
All of the above, plus Rappan Athuk, of course. :-)
Good enough - thanks!
Is there any estimate on when the big book will come out? I may or may not move during the summer and just want to make sure it goes to the right place.
On a funny note, I think I've moved twice since I ordered Razor Coast. :-P
Ha ha, both of those are good news. :-)
Thanks Greg!
So, when do we get the Sword & Wizardry version?
:P

I paid for a subscription, but if there's a chance for an S&W version I'd much rather have that.
I am not aware of any plans to convert ST to Swords & Wizardry.
However, if you happen to have a copy of the S&W Tome of Horrors Complete, some of your work may be done for you. Many of the monsters in ST are in there and creatures in that tome might be used to replace others.
Just subscribed to Slumbering Tsar and downloaded the PDFs released so far. Now just waiting on that last one and the hardback.
Are emails sent when new PDFs become available or how does it work?
How will shipping work with the book?

Yeah, I was really just kidding. One of the nice things about S&W is that it's a simplified enough system that, as long as you had any relevant monster and NPC stats handy, it would be EXTREMELY easy to do your conversion "on the fly" running directly from a PFRPG product (or any other type of fantasy RPG product).
So guys... when are we going to start work on Sword of Air?
If I'm not mistaken, though, Sword of Air would be the companion piece to Slumbering Tsar.
"Wrath of Orcus" sounds like it needs epic rules, so maybe we should wait until Paizo gets that ruleset out...
:)

Congratulations to Greg on getting the final installment out! This is an epic achievement - I only wish I had the players (and time) to try it! I really look forward to seeing the bound version.
Yeah, but I think it's safer to go with stuff that Bill-original concepts (Slumbering Tsar, Rappan Athuk, Sword of Air, etc.)
Prototype cover for "The Slumbering Tsar Saga" hard-cover mega-adventure can be found at this here linky-linky.
You're welcome. :)

Fantabulous! Cannot WAIT for this.
Chuck, that prototype cover is AWESOME - I really like the look of it.
And Bill, thanks for the info/updates regarding shipping and what not. I pre-ordered this (last March I think) along with the Tome of Horrors Complete (which I have long since received, thank you).
Really looking forward to "Slumbering Tsar" Saga.
Now... about "Rappan Athuk" ... ;)
Dean
I am giddy. Big-time congrats to Greg and Co. for bringing this bad boy to light!
So is it late May that the cooler full of ice and Gatorade will be upended on Bill and Greg in the Frog God Games locker room?
Hey Bill, when you send the ship notifications can I add a copy of Swords and Wizardry? Should fit in the same box for the same shipping cost? (To Australia if that matters)

(To Australia if that matters)Please note, however, that there is NOT a Swords & Wizardry version of Slumbering Tsar. This is the one FGG product that I am aware for which the conversion has not been made. Bill may change that at some point in the future, but as far as I know no such conversion is being done at this time due to a separate print run for a limited distribution not being feasible. Sorry about that. :-/
Not a problem. I want it for a different purpose in any event. I have acquired a very large number of pre 1989 modules and no longer owned the rulebooks to run them. Now I will have the core rules!! At a far cheaper price than the upcoming reprint as well!
I just woke up and downloaded the bonus material.
I have to stop passing out on the grindstone. Greg keeps doing it and his nose can slice AIR now!

Subtle, Chuck, very subtle, almost like a sledgehammer...

Subtle, Chuck, very subtle, almost like a sledgehammer...Or perhaps even a Sword? :D
One day, Kthulhu and I will sit in a bar, having many drinks, laughing and making fun of Chuck, who will be sitting there too, all the while Greg will look on, not approvingly, and we'll all turn around and see Bill laughing maniacally with his Santa hat on, because he just killed 6 new people with S&W.
this is what I think of at work. dont fly in airplanes....

I will be drinking with Krista laughing at all of you fellas. :)
I see the March 20th update found its way to these messageboards.
Here's an update that got put on talesofthefroggod(dot)com that may not have made its way on this site:
March 12, 2012
The Frog’s have returned from Central America intact with the possible exception of our livers. We saw great things, did fun stuff, baby frog (6 years old) learned to surf, and we even got to watch a sea turtle lay eggs on a beach at night. Saw some of the scariest bugs and snakes imaginable (look up terciopila…very scary). Momma frog had a 7 inch long, 2 inch wide grasshopper with a 12 inch wingspan land on her back..she hopped about 10 feet in the air. We even got to see Will Smith filming Men in Black 3 (and one of his crew actually get bitten by a terciopila!).
But, being back from the beach, we are back at work. I got 4 new levels of Rappan Athuk written, Greg finished Tsar 14 and is final editing the bonus chapter as I write this. Orders will be cut off for the signed/limited edition Tsar on March 31. Paizo will have unsigned books for sale soon, also in limited quantities.
I will be sending out shipping information to all subscribers soon. I am hoping I can get 2 books into a large priority box. Shipping is going to be killer for me (only 4 books per case box on the pallet). This will be the LARGEST RPG BOOK EVER MADE!
So in other news:
1.
Tsar 13 and 14 are at the printer and will go for sale soon, pdfs will get posted this week2.Northlands 4 is at the printer
3.SNS 2 , Castle Baldemore is in layout
4.Northlands 5, as well as several other ONS/SNS titles are coming soon
5.Rappan Athuk is 75% converted, and 14 new levels are written as drafts. This epic will go on sale May 1 (or so)
6.All current orders will be packed and shipped this week—I only got home 19 hours ago, so bear with me!
To reiterate: Last chance to preorder for Slumbering Tsar is March 31!
P.S. Surfing the web to locate a photo of a terciopila. :)
