The Preorder

[iago]

I love the optimism! I can't buy into it until I see the numbers actually adding up... but I'm glad to hear folks are excited enough to think it's possible.

Now, if you want to help *make* it possible -- and I'd love it if you did -- make sure you get the word-of-mouth out there: tweet, blog, talk, play. Small companies like ours make it or break it on the strength of word-of-mouth buzz, and that means if you're reading this message, you are part of our ability to succeed.

Oh, I've already gotten two people hooked on the novels and talked one of them into buying the game.  Also, I will be ordering three sets of the game on Monday for birthday-gift purposes.

I was sad because I got a speeding ticket and that was the money I was saving for the preorders... 

BUT THEN! I got my tax refund. Now I have plenty of money. HORRAY!

Seriously though, you guys rock and I am literally staring at the DFRPG website trying to accelerate time through force of will...no luck yet...

Did you see my post.   

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...

I did not but I agree completely!

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.

Will we be allowed to download the updated final version of the PDF once it's available?

Yep.

Well, I'm not sure about selling out on Day One, but I'm going to be scraping the funds together for this in the next month or so.

Been looking forward to this for a while, and I want to play it.

A lot.

Just set up my account with EH and will be logging on Monday morning to place my pre-orders.

With the hurdle of the core books now "in the final stretch" any teasers for what might be coming down the line next?

Thanks in advance,

AJC

Setting your account up in advance is a good plan.

What do you mean in terms of "coming down the line"?

Fred:

Thanks for the quick response (apologies for also pinging you on this over on RPG.net).  By "coming down the line", was asking about future products in support of the core release.

Oh, *that*. It's our intent for these two books to be 99-100% of what anyone would need to run DF in perpetuity.  If we've done our job right, each book or story that comes out from Jim is, itself, a supplement, in that it should be pretty easy to cook up new materials based on that. We'll also be hosting some online discussions on www.dresdenfilesrpg.com or here that are focused on "how-would-you-stat" bits from the novels and stories that the game *hasn't* covered.  If those sorts of things turn into potential supplement material, we may move forward with that, but right now we're only contracted/licensed for the two books.

Just registered myself. Is there a street address I can send a dozen white frosted dounuts to Monday morning?  

While I love the optimism myself, I think it would be less than a one week sellout.
However, a hundred or so preorders on Monday with maybe two or three hundred in the first week is not only plausable, but I'm sure a welcome target number by Fred and crew.

Oh, hells yes. That would be great.
