Beoferret Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Big question: have you noticed any changes to the rules? Do they just incorporate the material from the Rune Fixes/errata? Clarifications of rules that folks found confusing before? Anything that looks to be new? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilHibbs Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 If the Glass Cannon Network YouTubers (1:16:36) have up to date rules, then the combat results chart is different. It says to roll special damage on a critical success versus a normal or special parry, instead of max special damage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're in the U.S., I'm going to assume that they also arrived at the Canadian warehouse. They're probably at the warehouse in Europe too (making a big assumption here), if only taking shipping times into account. My suspicion is that the main hold-up is Britain, which has been experiencing a lot of problems getting imports processed and then shipped throughout the country. Despite the spoiled 8 year old in my head stomping his feet and yelling "but I want it now!", I think waiting for the simultaneous release from all warehouses is a good idea. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilHibbs Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Speaking as a UK resident Brit, I would not howl with outrage if it were available elsewhere in the world first. I think that was the case with the RBoM in Australia, they had to wait a little longer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glassneedles Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 As a Brit I’d agree with Phil Hibbs. I’d also like to extend an apology on behalf of the country for everything (which is a very very broad category when it comes to my country 😞). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given GenCon, it's entirely possible that Chaosium simply decided to eat the cost of 1 pallet of expedited-shipping, to get a few copies onshore quickly.

( I've been reading accounts of the backed-up container-ships at the USA's ports on the Pacific... ) Fair point. But I'm pretty sure the container ship that we were told was carrying the shipment for the U.S. arrived, docked, and is back across the Pacific at this point. Hell, it might be back off the coast of California by now. I checked the ship tracker (that was linked to in another thread) every couple of days and that sure seems to be what happened. I'm making the assumption that the shipment was unloaded, since there was at least one day where the ship was docked, and then sent on their merry way to Minnesota. Not long after (maybe a week or two?), Gen Con convened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MV Paul R. Tregurtha (In Duluth, MN at time of typing.) (I knew the term "Pananamax", but didn't realize until a small googlefest a moment ago there was also a Neopananamax standard... and Suezmax, Handymax, Malaccamax, Q-Max, and -- the one at least minimally relevant to this thread -- Seawaymax.) I feel this is the cue for a song, but it's Gordon Lightfoot's night off... https://youtu.be/8njFyDCdM_c Warning, mathrock. May cause uncontrollable chin-stroking and thoughtful nodding.

I checked a few times, but then stopped checking when I realized that other shipments -- to other distribution-centers -- meant the USA delivery didn't actually mark any genuine US availability. 1 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreJarosch Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 SPIEL 21, the Game Fair in Essen Germany, is taking place from 14th to 17th of october. It seems that the Starter Set will not be available there, which is a shame. 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
