Trust @styopa to shoot down a perfectly good moonboat! 😉 12m=39' is one of the classic sailboat sizes. With the transponder on, friends & relatives can have fun tracking it; or the owner, if it's on lease/loan; etc. Or (as noted) somebody just forgot ...

Although I never give them a good read until I have a hardcopy. RQG will be great to finally have in my hands 😀 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!"

MOB Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) Although this sounds just like the opening of a Call of Cthulhu one-shot, we're reasonably confident this isn't the ship delivering the new RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha...

I just went back to the link, and it returns results identical to the one you gave (south of the Isle of Wight, tracking to pass to the east and curve 'round to Southampton). Soon. Soon.

Hopefully quicker (this is from a company that Ideal with's website) Quote How Long Does Customs Clearance Usually Take? Customs clearance normally takes a matter of minutes or hours but it can take days or even weeks if there’s something wrong or your goods need to be inspected. We generally say that from your goods landing in the UK you’ll have them delivered to your door in about 7 days and the customs clearance is only a fraction of that time. Once it gets to the distributer, it just needs to go on sale on the web store, then fulfilment is quick.

If the UK is like the US, it can - and usually does - actually clear customs before it's available. You can start that process 48 hours before physical arrival. Clearance takes minutes, usually. Exams are rare - maybe 5-6% of inbounds from non-usual importer/shipper combinations unless there's some other suspicious factor. That assertion - it'll be delivered withing about 7 days of arrival - is a safe one. In the UK, I'd even probably estimate lower, maybe 5d.

Correct. The US ship landed some time, and the UK ship recently. The Australian ship is due to dock in Sydney on Saturday (with previous shipments the Australian ship was the first to arrive, maybe this one disappeared into a space-time vortext off R'lyeh for a few weeks) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOB Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) Having sailed close by R'lyeh and the cyclopean ruins of Nan Madol, the XIN QING DAO is now steaming towards Botany Bay, bringing its cargo of RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha. It is due to arrive tomorrow evening. This means we are on target to have RQG available from all three fulfilment locations (USA, UK, Australia) sooner rather than later this month.

So presumably it has unloaded the books, unless it's been hijacked and sailed out to sea to engage in jolly piracy or dark rituals.
