PhantomGamer 0 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Thank you, Rick and the entire Chaosium team! I prefer running from a hard copy of adventures and as a new Keeper (new to CoC in general) I really, really wanted to run Orient Express but the cost of entry was ridiculous. I'm so excited to get a chance to bring my players on this amazing journey! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ejlertson 16 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Who do I sue for a new F5 key? Old one is worn out from me hitting it, to see if they are up for sale yet 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rick Meints 2,844 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 We're in the process of updating the PDF downloads for HotOE on our website and DTRPG. The new version will replace the old some time soon. As for coupons we're figuring out how far back in time we will go for past PDF purchasers to get a discount coupon. That's based on when the 2014 edition went out of print and was no longer for sale. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ejlertson 16 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Is there any news on the PDF version of HotOe? :) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3dartwork 1 Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 I'm anxiously awaiting the announcement for pre-ordering HotOE. It's getting super close to being available to buy. I've been checking their Twitter and this forum every day to see if there's any news. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mat Mobile 12 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 (edited) I see that I'm not the only one checking the store daily for the "Horror on the Orient Express" and "Beyond the Mountains of Madness" reprints. 😆 The tension is virtually palpable! 😬 Edited February 7 by Mat Mobile 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3dartwork 1 Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 I'm the same way. I don't recall the last time I was obsessively getting on Chaosium's Twitter page and checking this one thread on the forums. I am not missing out before they sell out.

Rick Meints 2,844 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Please be mindful of our general reluctance in answering "when" product availability questions. If we provide an incorrect answer we usually get complaints, frustration, and sometimes outright anger from people who treat such a date as an iron-clad guarantee. Do we want people to know when things will be for sale? Of course we do. Do we want to be helpful and informative? Of course we do. Do we want to disappoint people? No, we don't. Do we want to get into answering "but you said X was the date, so why didn't that happen" questions? No, we don't. Case in point. The Malleus Monstrorum slipcase set was late in delivery to most of our warehouses, especially our UK warehouse. The shipping delays were severe, and unexpected. We couldn't plan for our UK shipment to be rejected and sent back to us because the shipping company ran out of warehouse space due to Brexit delays. When we talked about that situation with eager buyers, most were understanding, but we also got sincere hate mail about us lying, playing games with people, and being unprofessional, all because we said X was the LIKELY date it would be for sale, and then it turned out it was later than that. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Meints 2,844 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 2 minutes ago, Scotty said: Use the search in the top left. https://www.chaosium.com/horror-on-the-orient-express-pdf/ We have started selling the PDFs of the HotOE reprint on our website, so we updated the product pictures to go along with that. We are doing likewise with the BtMoM reprint PDF. Both of those products will have the printed versions for sale soon. We will certainly announce when they go up for sale, probably a few days prior, once they are in all of the associated warehouses. Buying the printed version includes a free PDF if purchased on chaosium.com. We will also be sending out discount coupons for the printed version to recent buyers of the PDF. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is the exact reason why I continue to post about a need for patience and consideration of tone. Chaosium employees are people. Chaosium is also a small company, and cannot participate in the "release date certainty" that a lot of companies can, based on their size. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
