nightlamp Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 My copy arrived yesterday, and I spent the evening basking in its golden glory. Many thanks to Jason, the Chaosium folks, and all the other contributors for such a fantastic book-- you guys did a fantastic job! :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyKnight55 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 My FLGS gets their shipments Wednesdays. Yesterday was Wednesday. They did not get it.

Jason D Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Just got a small stack of them in the mail from Chaosium. Have unwrapped one and paged through it... am almost tempted to live-blog my experiences upon reading it once more, but have so little time... Very satisfying getting it in my hands, though.

Aycorn Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Well, I've officially tossed in the towel on Amazon. They STILL can't give me an ETA, even though I have confirmed with Charlie and Dustin that the Amazon copies were shipped immediately. So, I've cancelled my Amazon order and re-ordered from Chaosium direct. Bummer. I'd have had the thing now if I'd been a little more patient and pre-ordered from Chaosium.

Nightshade Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Well, I've officially tossed in the towel on Amazon.

So, I've cancelled my Amazon order and re-ordered from Chaosium direct. Bummer. I'd have had the thing now if I'd been a little more patient and pre-ordered from Chaosium. I'm giving them a little longer just on convenience grounds, but I'm beginning to think I should have waited too; but I was ordering a couple other things through them at the same time so it was easy. Amazon is usually okay when preordering material that will come from a large company, or that's been out for a while, but pre-ordering from them in this kind of situation is almost always a bad idea.

kustenjaeger Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Greetings While I am still waiting for Amazon UK I bought the pdf from Chaosium a little while ago so I have looked at bits - it's not as easy on-screen though it will be really useful as a tool.

Centaur66 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I've cancelled my pre-order with Amazon UK,since they still don't seem to know when they'll get their hands on BRP,but Leisure Games (London) are taking pre-orders with a view to getting stock in on July 9th.Seems about right to me.I've bought from them before;they're a good company.I too bought a pdf copy,as i just couldn't wait.:thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centaur66 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 In case any Brits are interested,there's a Scottish guy on e-bay with four copies of BRP for sale.Also some zero edition copies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dredj Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I'm still waiting for my order to come from Amazon as well. If I don't get a delivery status, soon, from them, I will cancel my order and order from Chaosium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vile Traveller Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Aaargh!! Noooo! I think the postman delivered it on Saturday, but I was at the office! Now I won't be able to collect it until next Saturday! And face the wrath of my boss when I turn up to work at 10:30, because the damn post office doesn't open until 9:30 ... :eek::mad:;-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatBear Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I'm going to give Amazon.ca a little bit longer. The price break is substantial: $24 thru Amazon vs. $55 from Chaosium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rust Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Some FLGS in Gemany have begun to offer BRP, but I am not sure whether they all offer the same BRP - the price tags range from 27,95 Euro up to 39,95 Euro, so it can hardly be the same book ... :eek: Quote "Mind like parachute, function only when open."

Nightshade Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Thought I'd mention that according to Amazon my copy shipped today; they must have never updated their estimated shipping (happens a lot with pre-orders involving small companies and them in my experience).

Al. Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 My playtest contributor's copy has yet to arrive. Possibilities are: *Lost in post (grrr) *Charlie has rethought his generosity *My Surname is at end of alphabet and so part of second shipment *Package addressed to me has been intercepted and quarantined by beloved as 19th is my birthday Since I have the pdf and the contributors copy is an (unexpectedly) nice thought I shall wait until 19th before I start worrying too much.

Ars Mysteriorum Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Just received mine this morning. that s one big assed tome. Shame its not hardback really or it would rival Talislanta 4th ed for player bashing. Ah, Talislanta 4th.
