So are we getting the PDFs for all the extra's we ordered with backerkit soon, as they are paid for? Or will they come out around when everything is sent?
I really don't know, Mach. I just gives 'em the goods to send out.
NP, just very keen to get my (virtual or actual) mucky hands on Bill's dirty tricks. Lots of very good buzz out there!
Book of Dirty Tricks is fantastic. I unleashed a

I'm currently staring at the PDFs... all ready except for the bookmarking... the hated, hated bookmarking...
Love, love, LOVE bookmarks! ;)
My understanding is that only those who ordered Dirty Tricks through the SOA kickstarter would have received it.
If you ordered Dirty Tricks through the Lost City of Barakus Kickstarter, like I did, I think those will only be shipped with the Barakus books.

I believe this is correct. BWBoDT was sent to me as part of the SoA kickstarter.
Yeah I got it with the Barakus Kickstarter but as I have just received my Barakus PDF codes I was hoping to have the Dirty Tricks PDF too. But anyway off to read Barakus :D
BTW does anyone know if the One Night Stands and/or Saturday Night Specials are going to continue or are they at and end? I don't have ONS6 and it appears only PDFs on offer from FGG and here.
Does anything ever come OUT of the well? That'd be a hilarious sight - the grim and determined party heads over to the well just as some guy in ripped clothes is pulling himself up and out. "Do NOT... go in there. WHOOO!" in true Ace Ventura fashion starts fanning the air.
I just have to ask Mark, have you read section 3b yet? Not wanting to give spoilers here.
The Barakus PDF codes have been sent? Yahooooo! It's Christmas come early! Haven't checked the e-mail in a couple of days; going to do that right no--... *insert cartoon contrails here*

One of my favorite levels.

Is anyone else having trouble getting the Downloads of the Lost City of Barakus PDF and the Players Guide? When I entered the codes for both they were accepted but no downloads. Then when I tried to reenter the codes I got the message that the code had reached the maximum number of downloads.
WOOOOHOOOO!!!
Question... if I am running Barakus in a PbP, is there any way I can share players guide with the PC's? I would buy multiple copies if necessary but I'm not sure there's a way to purchase multiple PDF's.
Was the Player's Guide an add on, or a stretch goal? I'm drawing a blank.
It was a $5 add-on.
All the paperbacks are gone and we are not printing more--Mach--I may be able to dig up a 6 for you
Thanks Bill that would be very kind, I have the S&W just not the Pathfinder version. More a completionist thing at this point! :D
I got my files. TOZ had to show this computer illiterate how to access them, but they are there on FGG site.
Thanks Bill, you're awesome! I'll get the PDF when I order Sword of Air :D
So what should we do if it says that the coupon codes from our backerkit purchases are expired or invalid?
I got Dirty Tricks, CD and RA expansion and none of the coupons work.
I never got my coupons to start with for some reason.
So here's a head scratcher. I got my PDFs and all is right with the Barakus stuff but I purchased the Rappan Athuk hardcover and received a voucher for the PDF? Did I do it wrong and pay for the wrong thing? I'm hoping not; I was really looking forward to breaking my shelf with this thing, then having it conspicuously out on the table when I start the campaign.
Also I've not read 3b. I can't wait to though.
@Mark. Any hardcovers you bought automatically come with a PDF version. The hardcovers ship a little later with your copy of LCoB to sort of consolidate shipping costs.
On a side note, I'm missing my PDF code for Slumbering Tsar. Has anyone else gotten theirs? I did get Barakus and the Player's Guide tho.

*makes e-Trade baby face* WHAAA???!!!
I obviously had no idea and I'd just like to apologize then for sending redundant emails to FGG. I'd also like to, AGAIN, thank Bill and the whole company for their excellent products and services. Tell me if you ever get sick of my nerd/fan exuberance. Carry on.

I see I got mine Friday while away on vacation along with Barakus and the PG, I have not downloaded them yet.
Still waiting on codes for Tome 4 and the Desert one.

I got my codes for Barakus, Players guide, Sword & Wizardy (already had that as it was free - I just bought the actual book) Tome 4 (which is great) but not the enviro book because I think that one is still being finalized.
If you are missing a code send Bill an email - assuming its for a book that isn't new (Desert book). I'm assuming at this point since Hoover go his RA pdf, and I got my ToH4 pdf that people who are still missing files may just need to reach out to get whatever code they need to add the e-files to their FGG accounts.
Again, not the Desert of Desolation - I don't think anyone has gotten those files yet, but all the other files should have been added. It did take a full day between me getting my LCoB and then my ToHIV coupon.
Edit: Hoover, I want you to post your thoughts on RA after you get a better look at it - considering the 9 entrances, this is a good book to draw ideas, structure, etc for a megadungeon.

I was over to the lilypad this weekend, and I know for a fact about 1400+ orders came in over the last couple of days. it crashed our ordering system. Viking Frog and all the others are fixing the situation. weill be resolved for everyone soon.
The perils of becoming popular I guess. I don't think I need anything for awhile at least after Dallas.

An hour ago I got home
45 minutes ago I redeemed my RA code for the PDF
43 minutes ago I settled in with a beer to skim 3b
Right now my beer is barely touched and my jaw is nearly on the floor
That. Is. RiDONCulous!
Don't go down the well. Don't even look at the well. Don't even say the word "well" in any context. That is one of the most cruel and inhumane dungeon levels ever conceived since a pissed off Gary Gygax said "If I've gotta hear ONE more con-goer brag about how awesome their character is!" and penned an oft-lamented tomb raid.
I am impressed, humbled, and generally unnerved by the joint PDFs of Barakus and now Rappan Athuk. I cannot wait to unleash them... I mean, present them for my players. I'll just start another recruitment thread now though as I don't suppose this group will stick around too long after what I'm going to put their guys through.
I love your posts, Mark.

Gee, now I need to go actually look at my copy...

The coupon problem was fixed yesterday and I got my pdfs. Thanks FGG!
I am not a happy camper. I paid my pledge for The Lost City of Barakus through Paypal after the Kickstarter ended cause I didn't have enough on the end date.
Today I get an email from Backerkit saying they just charged my credit card the amount of my pledge after I had already paid it. I had sent several emails to Krista and Bill explaining the why's and wherefore's and was assured that they would take care of it. I hope they can get this straightened out in time for my rent to be paid.
I am not overly impressed with Backerkit right now.
Don't hold back Mark, tell us how you really feel!
FYI, brain fart here on the coupon codes. Mine are working just fine and I am getting my downloads! I think I was referring to something else or it was a senior moment or something....
I am not trying to be sarcastic, just letting people know what happens with some new applications. I believe the idea behind Backerkit is good the application of it sucks.
Shem, did you go to the FGG website to look under the User tag to see if the PDF is there? That's where mine was.
Here is what TOZ sent me that helped.

You should see download links on that page.
BTW brvheart my name isn't Mark. If your post was meant for me. If not, sorry I responded.
@silverhair2008 Sorry, that was meant for Mark Hoover and his comments on RA. I should have been more specific I guess.

@ my silver fox: that sux man, really. It doesn't seem to be an epidemic though, at least in this thread. Still, that doesn't help you make rent. I hope the payment can get reversed on your card.
@ Mel Gibson: I don't often buy 3pp stuff and I think I've mentioned I haven't gotten a megadungeon in years. When I skim to the end of a product and at the end of the last fight it suggests
then I just feel like I have to mention my reaction. You guys are all just having a snicker 'cause you've had this product for years. I only just learned about Necromancer Games, FGG, Rappan Athuk and the other excellent products from this group within the last 10 months.
I'm starting to realize how sheltered my gaming life has been. I attended a single con this year; I hadn't been to one in nearly 2 decades previously. I have read exactly ONE book on the general subject of our hobby since I did a report on it in High School. I'm a 40-year-old first time freelancer despite submitting all through high school and college.
Needless to say I'm just starting to re-discover gaming in general and RPGs through Pathfinder. So now to be coming out of that shell only to discover "The Dungeon of Graves" and Lost City of Barakus as my first non-Paizo adventures? It's like the 90's never ended.
I'm going to go home, grow a mullet, rip off the sleeves on my favorite flannel, listen to some Iron Maiden and drink a Bud. Then I'm going to dive deeper into reading through this monster and try to get my mind around starting this project. After that, I'm going to have to figure a way to avoid the lynch mob that will inevitably form in my basement.
@ brvheart, no problem man.
@ Mark Hoover, You at least were a gamer a long time before me. I didn't find DnD until early 2000 right before 3.0 came out. I didn't get my copy of Rappan Athuk Reloaded til a couple of years ago while the Rappan Athuk Pathfinder Kickstarter was going on. So don't feel lonely at being a "late starter". I have yet to run anything I have gotten from FGG but really want to. My Friday Group is in Legacy of Fire now and I have given them a heads up that after that will be Rappan Athuk. No one has quit yet but I can hope.
May I also recommend Gary Gygax's Necropolis if you can find it? I believe your best bet is going to Noble Knight Games.
My reaction to reading 3B of RA:
*Spit take*
Mark, re: Mullet, flanel, Iron Maiden, and a Bud.
I can get behind the Iron Maiden and flanel, but a mullet and Bud? There's much better beer out there... :)

Level 3b is exceptional in it's deadliness and important in how frickin' hard it is to find. Basically, if the players find a way in, they've lost already.
