Which is 1st & which is last depend on where they print, of course. The long wait is between the date when the pdf can be distributed and the date when the physical books becomes available.

But I think most of us who has bought the pdf:s have been planning to also buy the printed book when it becomes available. So in that sense it is a kind of pre-order. But of course it is not the usual definition of a pre-order. In all honesty, I wrote very tongue-in-cheek above; but I know for a fact that MANY people actually prefer PDF's (for various reasons) and don't auto-buy the hardcopies.

The (initial) PDF is not a print-ready document. There is (at least) one more editing pass before the galley-proofs are approved for printing. And *THEN* the printing process begins; after which is the shipping process. You cannot appreciably accelerate things from first-PDF-release to all-warehouses-stocked. Holding that up would just delay the PDF... and probably also delay the print edition too, as "tribal edit" of PDF 1.0 is catching a lot of errors, likely faster & better than any single in-house editor.

That's not a term we are going to adopt for the discount coupon you get if you buy a PDF though. We are sticking with the traditional use of the word "pre-order" which means paying in advance in full for a yet to be released item. Just to be crystal clear, I was trying to only say: We do not take pre-orders for printed books via the Chaosium website. Of course; it was a joking remark; also note the prefacing phrase, "To me..."

Wheel Shield Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I have a very humble question. I have watched Jeff's Projects for 2022 videos and poked through various threads and not found the answer. I'm thinking it's just such common knowledge that it hasn't be restated recently. Will Cults of Glorantha (the upcoming two volume + set everyone is excited about) have Runequest game material or be system agnostic like the Guide to Glorantha? I will not be disappointed either way and won't impact any purchase I make, I just haven't found where it's stated specifically and I'm curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Prospaedia that will acompany the main two volume set will be system agnostic. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
