The Preorder
« on: April 01, 2010, 10:06:58 PM »
... is likely to start early next week.

Keep an eye on the Evil Hat webstore: http://www.evilhat.com/store/

(I'm posting this on April 1st, yes, but this is not a joke.)

EDIT: More specifically, keep an eye here:

http://www.evilhat.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65_72

The products are currently listed as "out of stock" until I activate them some time on Monday. Stay tuned!

We won't be providing fully complete PDFs -- we're giving Jim some more time to get his story done up. But we'll be giving you "close to done" PDFs immediately upon preordering. :)

I keep hitting the refresh key while on http://www.evilhat.com/store/ with my Dr Who AiTaS boxed set but I can't seem to travel forward enough in time to get to the order page.  This will be a long Easter weekend.  I hope you know you're going to make it hard to pay attention helping out at church...  ::)

Excellent! This is greatly appreciated. Other than the final short story, how much different will the preorder pdfs be from the final? Also, when do you anticipate releasing the final pdf?

Congratulations and I will have my preorder in as soon as it goes live  ;D

Minor corrections at most.

By or before the books ship. More specific than that? Ha!

Will the preorder include anything extra in the way of physical product?  For instance, will I have the opportunity to order the book in a special binding or signed by the creators, or something along those lines?

It's hard enough getting the books out in the first place. We're hoping folks will be happy with, say, getting access to the content several months before the books ship. :)

I will not refrain from gushing. You are awesome, and I am as happy as a kid at Christmas. I've been looking forward to this game for years now, and it shows all the signs of being well worth the wait. This is great, and you deserve all the thanks in the world.

So, are we talking like 12:01 AM Monday, noon, what? Because I really need this before heading in to work and if I'm sitting there reading it during the game after work my ST will kill me.
