MOB Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 If you've been following our "Ships of Cthulhu" updates over on our Facebook Page, G+ site or Twitter, you'd know that two of the three ships bearing precious cargo from China - the printed copies of Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition - have safely arrived in Sydney, Australia and Vancouver, Canada. The Australian ship has copies for Australia - New Zealand. The ship in Vancouver has copies for both Canada and the United States. A third ship is still making its way to the UK via the Suez Canal; the latest report via marinetraffic.com has it in the Gulf of Aden, about to enter the Red Sea. These copies are for the UK and rest of Europe. We'll be shortly sending a link out to all CoC 7e Kickstarter backers, enabling them to check and update their addresses. Once our distributors have sent copies to the Kickstarter backers, the remaining stocks will sent to retail distribution and will also be available for direct purchase. We'll be announcing preorders for this soon! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Do you happen to have a list of Australian Game stores that will be stocking this wonderful tome? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankcam Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Woohoo!!! I should have my kickstarter books this soon! This is a great day to be Australian, your country salutes you MOB heh heh Edited April 1, 2016 by Mankcam 1 Quote " Sure it's fun, but it is also well known that a D20 roll and an AC is no match against a hefty swing of a D100% and a D20 Hit Location Table!"

Rick Meints Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 To our Australian and New Zealand Backers. WE have zero control over how long it will take for the books to clear customs. They then have a short trip to the fulfillment warehouse where they will get put into inventory and prepared for shipment. That all is expected to be two weeks of time or more. 1 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadcubed Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'd love to get a pre-order on one of these. Any idea of UK distributors? Maybe a bit premature but if is the Keepers screen getting a hard print too>? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 @dadcubed - the Screen Pack is printed and being shipped along with the books currently. UK distribution into game stores is usually handled by Esdevium Games. Of course, those based in UK and Europe can also buy direct from Chaosium as we now have a European fulfilment house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how stringent Australian Customs are, I guess it may take up to a month just to ensure that they confirm Moon Design isn't a cover company for a cocaine racket or something like that. They are probably reading my books at present heh heh Quote " Sure it's fun, but it is also well known that a D20 roll and an AC is no match against a hefty swing of a D100% and a D20 Hit Location Table!"

That sounds ace. I have looked on the Chaosium website and can't see anywhere to throw my money. I watched the video of the box set. It looks awesome! Is there a pre-order? If so could you link it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later this week via Backerkit we'll be sending out emails enabling all backers to review their backer level and rewards and, most importantly, make sure we have their current addresses. After that we'll be ready to send the stuff, once they have cleared customs and arrived at our distribution centres (nb UK ship still on the way...) Once backers have had a chance to update their details we'll be opening things up to take preorders too - these will be sent out after backers are sent theirs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Vicarious Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 So, just to be clear...are the books in the shipping containers purely for kickstarter backers, or are some of them destined for retailers? And in regards to Melbourne (MOB, this means you), if retail copies are included, where might they be available from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in regards to Melbourne (MOB, this means you), if retail copies are included, where might they be available from? The books in the containers include both backer and trade copies for retailers. It's down to individual game stores to stock the books (we have no control on that) - I would suggest contacting your local store to enquire.

Sid Vicarious Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Pre-ordered online by backerkit via kickstarter. Only a few editions ago this would have been complete jibberish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOB Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 We were very happy to be able to post this: http://www.chaosium.com/blog/the-stars-are-right-new-chaosium-delivers-on-kickstarter-promise Mailing out commences on Monday for Australian backers, to be followed very shortly after by US backers. The cargo has cleared customs in the UK too, so that won't be too far behind. (Sorry, we have no further news from the North on the Canadian shipment). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadcubed Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Ok. I may be missing something but can I pre-order the limited edition set in the box that is shown in the photograph here: http://www.chaosium.com/blog/call-of-cthulhu-seventh-edition-now-available-to-preorder-/ If so can someone post an easy link for me to place my order for the boxed edition?

nclarke Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I believe the slipcase set (what you call the boxed set ) is a Kickstarter option only so no I don't believe you can order it unless a store ordered one. 1 Quote Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bori Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 With the preorder, when do you get the PDFs? Do you get it immediately or not until the physical copies ship? I saw a note that stated my credit card would be charged closer to the ship date and wondered if that meant I would have to wait on the PDFs. I would like to get the PDFs soon to have for The Time to Harvest organized play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
