Since it's in Hodgkins - I'll have it tomorrow.

Now all I need is to schedule a bomb defusal team to make sure it's safe to open, and I'll have my books.

Didn't expect that Iago - did you! Mwuh aha ahahahhahahahha!

Since iago is the merlin i would recommend getting a magical check over for spell bombs or ward traps as well. ;)

Also on my funny note. So i bought these books the day they came out as an early birthday present and just yestarday figured out that they are set to arrive on july 14th, which is literally my birthday. I found some irony and, strangely enough, joy at that.  ;D

That's what *you* think.  That new book smell?  $10 surcharge on each book!

Okay, so... went to the local UPS Distribution Center yesterday afternoon (after tearing arse down 495 from Chelmsford to Shrewsbury in my freshly-mended car), and managed to pick them up... after a few tense moments of WtF when they couldn't locate the package in the holding area. They managed to find it, signed for it, and brought it home after a couple of errands.
However, due to vacation preparations (read: packing), I didn't get to open the box until later that night. Man, they are beautiful. Have to say, much more impressive than the PDFs led me to believe.
This is going to be excellent vacation reading... along with the latest tome from Lee Child.
Jack Reacher... now he would make an interesting character build...

So the last entry is still the departure scan from Sparks, NV a day and a half ago...  But the status changed from "in transit" to "in transit - rescheduled" without another check-in or an original delivery date.  Not sure what that's supposed to mean.  :)

EDIT: It now has a "rescheduled delivery date" of 7/14.  Wow.  It's going to take 7 days to get from NV to my place in NY?  Geez, UPS...

Happy to have them though!

Thank you Evil Hat for putting my favorite series into a playable RPG.  I have been wanting to play something like this for a while and WoD just did not cut it.

If you live in Upstate NY, I suppose it's possible.  :-P

Heavy sigh...

Went on a trip to the Chicago area today and stopped at a couple of game/hobby stores...both of which had the Dresden Files RPG books. At least I got to thumb through real copies in anticipation of receiving mine! They are really cool looking.

I got mine around the 4th or so...amazing looking books, and I'm a little shocked at how the full-color doesn't bother me. Most of the time, I think it looks gaudy for pages to be flashy, but it just feels right with them.

Did anyone else get something extra with their books? I ordered the two Dresden books plus Don't Rest Your Head, and when I opened the package I had those plus...Hero Sidekick?

Well, I checked this morning and UPS's tracking screen still had nothing after the package left NV on the 7th, expect a predicted delivery date of the 14th.  Having trouble believing that it took over 100 hours to leave NV and get to another warehouse, I eventually called today, and was told "Oh, we don't show every scan on the tracking tool.  The package was scanned leaving a warehouse in Illinois yesterday, and is probably in New York now.  I expect it'll get scanned again this evening."

Which left me wondering...  If they arbitrarily leave updates out on the tracking tool, what's the point of having it?  If I'd known it was in Illinois yesterday, I'd never have called - I'd at least have some idea what's going on and not simply a 5-day gap in the information.

*sigh*  At least they're scheduled for Wednesday.  My wait should soon be over.
