Mankcam Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Is this up for Pre-Sale?

PhilHibbs Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Take that up with whoever is offering it on eBay, it's nothing to do with Chaosium. Please note, however, that I'm just some guy on the forum, this isn't an official answer. Edited October 23, 2018 by PhilHibbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, anyone can (try to) sell ANYTHING on e-bay. Specific items get forbidden (illegal drugs, souls, weapons-grade plutonium, etc), but it's generally a "caveat emptor" kinda place... and TOTALLY not a Chaosium venue.

Rick Meints Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Chaosium does not do "pre-orders" or pre-sales". Other than our boardgame Kickstarters, we don't take your money before a product is in the warehouses and ready to ship. Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc.

Jeffrywith1e Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Any clue when this will drop? Any clue what the price might be, are these guys selling the pre-order option close do you think? Quote Wave your geekflag high! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Meints Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 The books are still being printed and collated. We will announce when they are on the boats and we have an estimated arrival date to our warehouses. The MSRP for the full slipcase set is $119.99. We have no control over when/if any store (physical or internet) orders our products. I would imagine that distribution won't order the books until at least late February, so I doubt that eBay pre-order seller will have their stock before March or possibly April.

7Tigers Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Thanks for the update. By the way, as far as I now, Gamemaster Screen Pack & Glorantha Bestiary pdfs have not been updated with corrected ones (those sent to printer) on Chaosium site.

Will the slipcase contain a second printing of the basic rulebook i.e. with errata amended? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Meints Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 The second printing of the rulebook has numerous small corrections made to the text. 1 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiryamo Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 And at the same moment could we order separatelly the Bestiary and GM Pack? What about leathered edition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Meints Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 The RQG slipcase set only has the second printing of the Rulebook in it. All the first printing is pretty close to sold out globally, regardless. Each of the items in the slipcase set will be sold separately. The Leatherette slipcase set items will also be sold separately. That has been the plan since the beginning, and has not changed since we first announced the slipcase set had gone to the printers. The empty slipcase will exclusively be sold on Chaosium.com for a while, but possibly not long term, depending on how quickly it sells out. We do not expect FLGS to sell "partial" slipcase sets. They can sell the individual items of course. 3 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativehum Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Hi Rick, Thanks for all the info so far. Do you know what the cost will be for the slipcase set? (The base price. I've bought PDFs so I will use my coupons against the base cost, of course.) Quote "But Pendragon isn’t intended to be historical, just fun.

TrippyHippy Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 7 hours ago, Rick Meints said: Regular Slipcase set will be $119.99. I bought the PDFs of each of the Core Rules, Bestiary and Gamemaster's pack (from the Chaosium site). I wasn't able to get the physical copy of the corerules (out of stock), but would each of these PDF purchases be discounted from the cost of the whole slipcase? Or would I have to purchase each physical book separately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativehum Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 As I understand it, if you bought the PDFs from Chaosium, you should get an emailed coupon for when the books are available which will discount the cost of the PDF from the price of the physical copy. Chaosium has stated in other threads that these coupons can also be applied to the cost of the slipcase, with each coupon a person has applied to the slipcase set. 1 Quote "But Pendragon isn’t intended to be historical, just fun.

Paid a bod yn dwp Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 So regarding corrections to the second printing - Is the current RQG PDF on Chaosium’s website the one which has been used for the second printing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance for those of us who bought the first printing, that there might be a "1st-to-2nd" PDF that (for example) might offer printable, formatted pages to 'drop into' our current books to carry the changes? I realize formatting, etc likely all cascaded through the book so it's not as simple as gluing a new page 75 atop the old page 75, but I'm thinking of maybe a "print both sides of this page to drop into your book between pages 75-76, as it carries errata for the previous chapter" or something? Obviously, my point is to try to get all the fixes between 1st and 2nd cogently and usefully into my book. If you don't have the time/editing resources for this, if you even have a single clear PDF that says "here are the specific updates from 1.ed to 2.ed" I'd be happy to put something like I'm suggesting together for you.
