Anyway! $491 away from colouring books in the S&W Kickstarter!

(Maybe a frog should start a new thread in case people who don't get the newsletter/visit the website/read this thread etc. can find out about it?)

We have a thread in the proper place for 0E compatible Swords and Wizardry.

LINK

P.S. Thanks to Kthulhu for starting the thread.

Big news on the KS coming soon as well--we are going to "give back" and we will have a very special endorsement I think:)

Wait, what?! Another Kickstarter? Did I miss something? My wallet is going to cry, and I'll be living on bread and water for a year.

Not sure if anyone has gotten theirs too but it looks like the paypal emails are going out from the frogs :-) trying to contain myself and not do a happy dance as this means we are that much closer to having our paws on all the goodies :-)

[Matthew Morris]

Got mine too, think the amount is wrong. Well that or I ordered three subscriptions w/o knowing it.

[Chaotic_Blues]

I got my call for shipping costs today, the frogs should be getting my payment soon. Interesting way to do it. I didn't know paypal could send payments in that manor.

They had a double RA sub in mine also - I think the post RA survey may have had some issues with extra items ordered beyond whatever was the initial backing pledge. I emailed Bill and Krista got back to me with a revised invoice total pretty quickly (couple of hours) - already made my payment via paypal

There were so many items involved - with my extra book and all the swag plus the sub I can see how things could get messed up.

[Wolfthulhu]

Got mine as well. No apparent errors so paid and anxiously WAITING! :-|

[DaveMage]

I am paid as well...

[Itchy]

Got my invoice today and paid today through paypal. If this box arrives at my door before August 31, my wife is going to be very surprised!!

[Damn Texan]

I'll be happy when we get access to the derned PDF.

Any day now...

[mach1.9pants]

I got two invoices, one incorrect. Just sorting that out I hope!

[Dragnmoon]

I have a few errors on mine.

Real Leather books not there
1 extra Faux leather
No T-Shirts
Not correct Minis.

I sent an email to Bill.

[Readerbreeder]

Just paid the shipping invoice; no apparent errors on mine. I am dying to see this monster in reality!

[Peanuts]

Woo, well it hurt the wallet, but glad to have everything paid for :) Can't wait for this to start it's long journey across the oceans.

Just hope it gets here okay :s

[Steve Geddes]

Sent my payment.

Thanks for all your collective hard work. I'm looking forward to this as much as the RotRL collector's edition. :)

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Bill,
<br /><br />
Any chance you could send out a Kickstarter update when the PDFs are available for download from the BI site? At least then I can just hit refresh on my email instead of email and the BI download site ;P

[Chuck Wright]

I'll also announce here when the PDFs are ready.

[Matthew Morris]

And payment sent!

Question - do I need to create an account somewhere to access the PDFs? Should that be done in advance? Do I need to communicate that account to anyone in particular?

If this was already posted and I missed it, my apologies.

[John Woodford]

Payment sent.

Chuck,
Thanks sir. However, it would still be nice to get the Kickstarter update from Bill when the PDFs are available for download from BI because, as we saw with ST, there can be a not insignificant delay between the PDFs being ready and actually being able to download them. I know it was an unusual situation with the BI person's vacation time, but it would still be good to know when the files are actually ready for the magic clicky clicky, IMHO.

Everything was ok except only had one Players Handbook and only two sets of dice.

Also sent an email to Bill.

Edit: The more I read mine now, I wonder if I was incorrect in bringing up concern about the dice.

It says “1 Dice from 1000 backer” and “1 Dice Set” I wonder if I am getting 1 die, and then the “dice set” encompasses the rest.

I’ll get it worked out with Bill.

[Greg A. Vaughan]

I know this is the wrong thread (though I think some folks were talking about the Swords & Wizardry Kickstarter upthread a bit), but this was just too cool not to share. Just got this from Bill, but he's away from his computer this weekend and can't go posting:

"Frog God Games has a new Kickstarter project: the reprint of the Swords & Wizardry Rules. Everyone is talking about it! These old school rules are right in line with Gary's vision of the game. It is good to see them continuing the tradition started in 1973 and keeping the flame alive. I am so appreciative of the added efforts of Frog God Games to donate a portion of all book sales to the Gygax Memorial Fund. Several other companies are similarly providing support to include, True Dungeon, Wizards of the Coast, and many others. It is wonderful to see our industry coming together to make Gary's memorial a reality." - Gail Gygax

[Wolfthulhu]

Well, here we are at another Monday. Gen Con is a short two weeks away.

I haven't heard of an official delay of release date, so almost surely we'll see or PDFs this week.

I hope. Please? Must I resort to sacrifices to the frog god?

You should be doing this as a matter of course, regardless of desired outcome!

[Dragnmoon]

Still waiting on an email from Bill.

As soon as I have my concerns addressed about the shipping invoice I will pay it.

Which I really want to do ;).

Exactly the same here, still haven't heard from Bill.

Which I understand, as you guys are crazy busy. But like Dragnmoon, will pay my invoice once we get this worked out. :)

[DSXMachina]

Paid one of my orders, but one funny thing I noticed is that it didn't say the amount in US$, Canadian $, £ or chickens.

You are doing an excellent job.

[Kthulhu]

You paid them in chickens, didn't you?

[DSXMachina]

:looks sideways:

Errr.... that would be clucking silly.

No fowl p(l)ay. I wouldn't want to sent them in a flap, but you can always do with more chickens.

I was tempted to... but then again, it's kind of hard to transfer chicken via PayPal...

[Treppa]

There's an app for that.

Well played.

Thanks for the reply!

I still see some mistakes, so I replied to the email.

I like my chickens placid.

[silverhair2008]

Shipping payment sent.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

There is something that I've been wondering, but I have been leery of asking about. Please bear in mind that I'm not judging anyone's decisions about anything, I'm just curious. That said, here goes.
<br /><br />Could the Rappan Athuk PDFs have released for download as they were completed? It sounds like the PF RA final was done awhile ago. Several others (I think I heard 9 of 13 in one update) were ready over a week ago. Are we waiting for every PDF, both S&W and PF, to be ready before we can download any of them? Wouldn't a lot of the 'Are They Ready Yet?' posts have been avoided if the PDFs were released for download as they became ready?
<br /><br />Again, I'm sure you have your reasons, and since we're hopefully almost at the point where we are going to be able to download all of the PDFs anyway, it's going to be a moot issue soon, but I was just curious. Thanks!

Probably.

We could have also avoided the whole thing by assuming people would wait until the book is released before expecting their pdfs.

I have croaked with the other frogs to avoid announcements about future products until we are much further along in the process, to avoid you guys being upset we don't have products available nano-seconds after completion, and us being upset we're "letting down our great fans".

8-i

Some of the above is tongue in cheek, but some of it isnt.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Skeeter,
For sure I don't feel like FGG has let anyone down, quite the opposite. Also I'm not upset about whether or not the PDFs are ready for download; RL is more than full enough of things that worth getting worked up over. You guys are tops in my book; I really was just curious.

[Blackerose]

The PDFS are secondary to me; like Tsar I will use them to actually run the game, but the book is what I am looking forward to. The important thing is to make it as great as it deserves to be, rather than trying to rush. Waiting just makes the reward sweeter

[Bill Webb]

Steve Squared (Lau and Geddes)--I will likely just call you guys when I pack to ensure we nail it down properly--the really big orders are very tough on the programming system.

Doc-

any ire implied in my response was not directed at your question. Sometimes I have to pick an opportune target to scare off others I can't talk to directly.

but now I can reference this thread, and all is well

Your aces in my book! And we'll get you that pdf, i swear!

Sg

[Steve Geddes]

No worries bill. I sent an email (a fair while back) with my "list of what I'm expecting". I can send it again closer to the time, if that's useful (time zones and everything being unfriendly that way...)my automated email seemed pretty close to me (other than the leather books, maybe, but I'm sure they'll make it in). :)

No stress really. If things go awry I can send back any excess loot or pad out my S&W kickstarter shipment with anything thats omitted.

[Tharen the Damned]

Just let the Frogs take all the time they need to get RA done right and as best as possible!

And think of the players. They can enjoy their PCs a few weeks more before they become the grist in Orcus' mill.

[Chaotic_Blues]

Well said Tharen. Let them dream a little longer.

[Matthew Morris]

Ok, no complaining question.

Who's making the dice?

[ruemere]

Guys,

you do realize that you're up for one of the biggest active threads at Paizo messageboards, don't you? It's 1,098 posts long, actually, 1,099 long with this one included.

Regards,
Ruemere
