The Preorder Is Go!
The preorder for the Dresden Files RPG is now live!
You can learn more about the particulars of the preorder — and place your early order for both books in the set, including getting access to the almost-complete PDFs right away — at the Evil Hat Productions web store:
http://www.evilhat.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65_72
Free shipping is available in the USA to people who place a preorder for both books, and the final PDFs will be made available to preordering customers once they are available (which should include the addition of a short story by Jim, still getting written as we speak)! The books will ship out in late June/early July.
Fans of the series may be particularly interested in the second book, which among other things provides a comprehensive character guide up through Small Favor. A handy reference to have on hand as you read through Changes next week.
I have bought books with far less in them that were far less important to me for far more – what we are getting here is a sheer bargain, and a masterpiece at that fraction of cost too! I gladly paid it, and the postage to Australia – and would have paid more if asked.
So how are the pre-orders going anyway, Fred? It it the runaway ht you hoped for?
@Conrad, they’re going very well. I’ll share numbers after 4 weeks out over on http://www.deadlyfredly.com/ and you can judge “runaway” for yourself.
Available in Australia!
Just got the email from Milsims – they have it for pre-order. Ordered it within seconds
(Is also listed on the store page, but I thought I’d post it here for all to see).
Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere but when the book comes out will there be an option to buy just the pdf versions for those who don’t want physical books? I’m most likely to want DFRPG to read for fun and possibly to mine for ideas for a different game, and thus not really interested in physical books for the game table, particularly if I can save a little cash by forgoing the dead tree manifestations.
@David, yes, we’ll be supplying the stand-alone PDF as a product closer to the ship date.
Wow, I really wish you guys offered some method payment other than the hideously awful paypal. I tried to preorder, but, as happens about 1/2 of the time, Paypal=fail. Sorry. I’ll definitely buy when you offer some other kind of payment service that lets me get PDF and print version. Sad, because I’ve got a group of four gamers I could probably sell on the game this weekend…if I had the PDF. I’m pretty sure they’d all also preorder.
@SeanC, good thing you can buy the PDF as a stand-alone from drivethrurpg.com and also preorder the Print+PDF bundle through one of the listed local gamestores on http://www.evilhat.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65_72 and online through Indie Press Revolution at http://www.indiepressrevolution.com/ — right?
Oh, OK, now I feel stupid for my crazed antipaypal rant. But also happy for having been enlightened. Great!
In my defense, I was possibly fooled by this: “Currently, we only offer PayPal as a payment option.”
Sweet, off to order RIGHT NOW. Thanks for the quick answer, Fred. It means I can use the printer at work.
@SeanC, no worries. I’ve updated http://www.evilhat.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65_72 to include links to the two other storefronts.
