Rick Meints Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) We will announce the start of pre-orders via a number of social media outlets, including our Ab Chaos newsletter distributed via Mailchimp, G+ Glorantha and Chaosium groups, here on BRP Central, a banner on the Chaosium website, the Chaosium FB page, the Chaosium twitter account, and similar. Once we know the Guide is on the ships that will take it to our fulfillment warehouses in Australia, the UK, and the US pre-orders will start, most likely in October. Pre-orders will stay open for about one month, depending on how the sales go. Sadly, we have no idea which, if any, distributors and Game Shops might carry this book set. It is not the kind of item that Game Stores usually like to stock due to it costing more than many other RPG products. The Guide Set, which will be in a custom made shipping carton, will weigh 15 pounds (almost 7 kilos). Brick and mortar game stores will be able to order it directly from Chaosium.

Steve Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Some more news this from Rick Meints at the "Quo Vadis, Chaosium?" seminar at The Kraken, 8th October 2016 : The Guide will be shipping from the printers (to fulfillment warehouses) in about two and a half to three weeks. The same books will be present, but will be in a new 50th anniversary of Glorantha slipcase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I previously ended up getting two copies of the G2G, and now it comes in a slipcase. Typical! 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!"

It's been confirmed on G+ that extra slipcases will be available separately for previous buyers of the guide. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnkzin Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 So, they start shipping from the printer in 2.5-3 weeks... how does that map to "when pre-orders start"? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius West Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 So with shipping and handling (6 weeks) it will be arriving in Australia around early December. Guess what I am getting for Xmas? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccercalle Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 It is no longer October. How long do we have to wait? I am so eager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g33k Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 @Soccercalle I believe it is now essentially out of Chaosium's hands. The printer may decide to prioritize a higher-profit print-job, shippers may experience labor-shortages or weather-stoppages, etc etc etc. These are all a bit unpredictable & entierly uncontrollable -- and outside Chaosium's expertise (I presume they don't have professional printer-folk on-staff, or logistical-shipping experts, etc). They have told us what they know so far; I doubt any further info is available at the moment, and I presume they are as eager to announce "printing done, shipping next" as we are to hear that news...

Rick Meints Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 The printing is done. They have been collated into slipcase sets, and each individual set has been placed into a specifically designed shipping carton. The pallets of books will be loaded onto a ship literally any day. 3 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mankcam Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Cool - I'm eager to order two slipcases for the sets of G2G that I already own!

TRose Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 OK just got my Magic book out and want to know how much free Int people can loan me . Im hoping one of us is within 5242 km of the boat(19 int for distance) and the time needed is two week(11 free Int). All other free int will be used to cast Haste on the ship to speed it along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Meints Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 The ship carrying the Guide to the USA is named OOCL GENOA. The ship carrying the Guide to Australia is named XIN YANTIAN I do not have the UK bound ship name just yet. Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc.

nclarke Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 As soon as you do Rick I'll be ready at Southampton docks to document the arrival (assuming it's coming in to Southampton like the first 7e shipment). Pictures will be posted to announce the ship's arrival. 4 Quote Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
