Fate Dice kickstarter is afoot! also, DFRPG in ePub/Kindle
« on: April 20, 2013, 09:58:13 PM »
Folks tell me that it sure looks like the set we're going to reveal at $30,000 will be a Dresden Files themed set, but who am I to say? ;)

Personally I think the already-revealed sets go great with DFRPG play already...

And in other news, we're in the middle of rolling out epub (nook) and mobi (kindle) formats for the Dresden Files RPG. You can already find them on the Evil Hat webstore. We've stripped out most of the graphics and inventive formatting, so this is a largely text-only experience; licensing prevents us from bundling it together for prior purchasers, unfortunately -- but the good news there is that due to the "stripped down" presentation, we've priced these versions very cheap.

Enjoy :)

If you used the metric system, it'd be a meter by now.

SCNR :P

Those international shipping costs really suck. Not blaming you in any way, just as a general statement. Though who could resist those dice? Precious dice.   :D

Yeah, unfortunately this is really a "we take the suck, and pass it on to you!" sort of situations -- international shipping is an absolute dire mess here in the States. Makes me sad. This was the best compromise we could find! Well, that and making sure to list international retailers and distributors towards the end of the project page. :)

Yeah, with those international shipping prices...
I'd really like to back this, but the best I'll realistically be able to do is try to cajole a local retailer.  Hopefully they'll be more responsive than they have in the past.
Even Chaotic Neutral individuals have to apologize sometimes. But at least we don't have to mean it.

Well, for what it's worth, we do get distributed into Canada via Lion Rampant. So if your retailer does business with them...

Yeah, I'm reasonably confident I'll be able to get some of these once they're properly in production, but I want to back the kickstarter (by way of pooling through them, given the specifics of this project), a concept which has not been well received by them in the past.
I'm just a typical impatient gamer who wants their shinies now (or as soon as can be arranged).
