I will be behind the rest of you in receiving my rewards. I pledged for the Steel cover. so I have to wait til the blacksmith finishes with the book before it can all be shipped together. Makes sense to save on shipping costs but adds to frustration.

I'm right there with you. It's worse because of my PDFobia, so I can't/won't even be able to get a sneak peek..

Did you get a steel cover for the blight too? That's the first one I've skipped. :(

I can't wait to recieve mine. I'm going to run it as a noob friendly campaign in my gaming club using the simplified casting variant. How do the Frogs feel about the automatic progression variant from Pathfinder Unchained? It seems a good fit for the low magic items feel of this setting.

I'm not sure about the Frogs, but that's what I'm using in my own game. I went with the "low magic items" setting, so the players are two levels ahead on the table, and will be getting limited treasure to compensate. I told them to think of it as, basically, 'Heroic Power'. Why can you cut through some types of DR with your weapon? Because you're a hero, and heroes can do that kind of thing. Why are you getting stronger than normal people can ever manage? Because you're a hero, and your swings are mighty. And so on. It's not magic so much as an improvement in their Wyrd, with fate itself recognizing that they're special. I also switched to Spheres of Power for casting, since its lower power ceiling seemed more appropriate.

[silverhair2008]

This will be my first steel cover. It was a result of switching from Temple Dallas to the Steel cover. I may never be able to do this again but at least I did it once.

Dorin Halfcub, I am not sure my FGG shelf is much different from yours or anyone elses. Except maybe Bill's or Greg's or Matt's. I admit it is getting full. At present one half of the shelf is FGG and the other half is Kobold Press, as a matter of fact FGG takes up part of 2 shelves. Having Rappan Athuk (PF), Rappan Athuk Reloaded, Slumbering Tsar, Tome of Horrors Complete certainly takes up a lot of space. I managed to acquire a leather copy of Cults of the Sundered Kingdom. Now I anxiously await The Northlands Saga Complete in Hardcover, Leather and Steel, Borderland Provinces in Hardcover, and now The Blight in Hardcover.

I am running a group of friends through Rappan Athuk and am using other Lost Lands sources. For example they traveled to Endhome from Lost City of Barakus when 2 of the party members died. So I am trying to involve them in more of the Lost Lands lore.

[Dorin Halfcub]

I've picked up all of their leathers and am only a few books away from having all of their pathfinder books that don't have leathers. They have an entire shelf on my bookcase alongside my Paizo hardcovers. I haven't bought physical books from any other 3pp.

[Steve Geddes]

Since it seems kind of relevant to the conversation, people looking for some FGG Swords and Wizardry versions should keep an eye on this thread for the next few weeks. It's maybe a chance to fill some gaps and supports a good cause.

(Note that the Rappan Athuk this week is not the PF version. There are some PF-compatible things down the track though and the Slumbering Tsar collection of twelve paperbacks is for pathfinder..)

[Dorin Halfcub]

I run all of my campaigns in the Lost Lands. One good and one evil party in a giant level 1-30 I wrote using FGG adventures and homemade content that is currently at lvl 13 for the mostpart. They are in a quiet war between the forces of light and darkness. The good gods are attempting to refound the Army of Light, while evil is evil. Orcus attempts to regain divinity, wipe out the Frog God, etc. and has formed aliances with thr N'gathu and the Oinadaemon. Both parties really immersed themselves in the lore I shared, the evil party even founded a Kingdom over RA at that castle in the expansion book.

[Sqn Cdr Flashheart]

Yup I'm in the humongous FGG shelf (though all in storage atm due to house move) too. Every Necromancer and FGG product, most (apart from the last few releases, just got too much) in all rules versions. I also have a pile-o Kobold as well.

I'm missing my big shelves of books, PDFs just not the same feel (though great at the table!)

[davrion]

I'm up to 3 NecroFrog shelves of books, and I think they are conspiring to invade a 4th shelf shortly

[Itchy]

We are planning a "gaming corner" in our basement. One of the early additions will be a set of steel shelves for my gaming collection. Since I also have all the FGG Hardcovers (The Blight is the first one I decided to pass on), they will get a considerable amount of that shelf space.

I think that Tome of Horrors Complete, Slumbering Tsar and Northlands Saga alone will nearly fill a shelf! Okay, maybe not quite, but it feels like it!

My hard copy of goodness arrived on Friday, yeah!!! Can't wait to get players involved. As of now I have them in Reign of Winter, so planning on weaving this in and out of that AP.

[Duiker]

I think it entirely appropriate that this is shipping right when the entire Eastern seaboard just got snow hammered. Coincidence?

[DanyRay]

Does someone have the page count of the PF version for me?

I miss the KS, but my flgs remembered that I ordered FGG in the past and put it in order with my monthly Paizo stock. A good thing since his supplier only have those on the release month (miss Tsar and Rasor coast that way...).

Thanks

[GM Rednal]

The Pathfinder version is 804 pages.

[DanyRay]

Thank you Rednal, looking foward to it

[silverhair2008]

Someone made a comment the other day on the KS page about not getting his print copy yet. As I was trying to calm his fears it occurred to me how weird it sounds for me to say I am waiting on the blacksmith to finish the cover of my copy.

[Sqn Cdr Flashheart]

"how weird it sounds"? No how AWESOME it sounds!

[GM Rednal]

If you ever have any issues with getting something from FGG, I suggest sending them an email. ^^ Their customer service has never been less than phenomenal for me.

[TriOmegaZero]

Saw the hardcover at my FLGS, and found it an appropriate weapon for bludgeoning foes with.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Bill,

Any idea when the PF hardcover of Northlands Saga Complete will be available on the FGG website? My F5 - refresh key is getting worn out trying to put one into my shopping cart...

[Shem]

Got my hardcover books today.

[Steve Geddes]

So jealous. I haven't received a shipping notification yet.

Hanging out for this one....

[Sqn Cdr Flashheart]

Steve check your backer kit. I haven't got a notice but the tracking number is in there for mine

[Steve Geddes]

Hmm, thanks. How do I do that?

[Duiker]

I never got a shipping notice, but the books arrived today. They look great!

If you still have the "Pledge Confirmation -- The Lost Lands: The Northlands Saga Complete‏" email, there is a link at the bottom to review on BackerKit, and there was Tracking information on the middle right of the page above Balance.

[Bill Webb]

Steve, metal books are not done yet. I am gonna go ahead and ship the rest to you and the metals later. Will go out Monday.

[Bill Webb]

Fever. Books should be for sale now.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Bill,

Thanks for the heads up. The NSC hardcover still shows as out of stock on the website but the Player's Guide is available (got one in my cart as I write this). I'll keep trying throughout the afternoon...maybe the site is just being cranky about updating availability.

Oh that's right. It's fine, bill. I'd just forgotten they were still on the way.

No sense increasing your shipping costs - why don't you hold off until the metal ones are there too. I fit really bothers me, I'll just have to get over my PDFobia

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Bill,

I gave the FGG website a try Friday night, Saturday night and today but the NSC PF hardcover still shows out of stock. Any idea if the site is having issues tracking inventory? As soon as it's available, you'll have one sold!

On a side note, do the Player's Guide and poster map come included with the NSC hardcover or are those separate purchases?

Thanks!

[DanyRay]

Got my copy last wednesday at my local store (miss the kikstarter).

It's massive!

@ DR Johny Fever It come with a poster map inside the back cover.

[silverhair2008]

So I would think the Players' Guide is a separate purchase. There is a separate Poster map available if you want it.

[Sqn Cdr Flashheart]

Oooh my fat box of Norse goodness has arrived in NZ! :-D

[DSXMachina]

Still waiting for mine in the UK, hopefully it won't be taxed or go missing like my Razor Coast mini's.

[Endzeitgeist]

My copy arrived today in pristine condition in Germany. :)

[Itchy]

It's funny, my Northlands Saga and my Borderlands books arrived one day apart. Northlands is HUGE!! It really IS nearly Tsar Sized. That will make it a difficult one to read in bed...

[silverhair2008]

Just got my Northlands Saga Complete package today. My bookshelves are beginning to sag already before I put the HC and the Leather cover on it.

[Elorebaen]

Getting ready to run this awesome beast! I am curious if Greg or anyone else talked about any suggested insertion points for the Long Night of Winter modules?

[Elorebaen]

Just read The Brothers of Jarl Skur Skulisdottir by Kenneth Spencer, and it was awesome. It really gives you the feel for the setting, and is just written really well. If you are running the Northlands, I suggest it.
