Damn...that's a fine looking product! And here I told my wife before I left this week that there probably wouldn't be any packages showing up for me. I'd love to be wrong about that with AS&SH :D

All those impaled guys behind the type III demon is a nice touch.

@ghul: When will these be available for "regular" sale? You can thank chainsaw for getting me interested to purchase these. His images are almost as good as flipping through the books off the shelf.

Glad you guys found the pics helpful. There's a lot I didn't capture - I was in a hurry, trying to do it before my boy woke up from his nap, so I flipped through sort of haphazardly. Also, perhaps needless to say, where the pics/text is blurry, you can blame my unsteady hand and phone's low-quality camera.

Thank you for the great pics, Chainsaw! You've really gone above and beyond the call of duty -- I owe you a pint or three come next Gary Con!

............

Fellows, please be patient as I continue to print, bind, collate, and ship. This is going to be done in piecemeal over the next month, and I will be sending out multiple batches of games per week. When your package has mailed, you will know, because I will email you. Thank you! And please accept my apologies that the process is not faster. This really is a home-grown operation.

Cheers,
Jeff T.

That's great! (Check's in the mail, chainsaw.)

TRP -- It should be for sale on our web site within a week or so. I just want to get through more of these pre-orders before taking on additional orders, but thank you for your interest! I'll mention it here when it is for sale on our site.

Posted Chainsaw's pics on the RPG Site too and I can report that several people have demonstrated great interest in the game upon seeing them there too! :D

Just got the goods in the mail today. Very, very nice! There's no need for me to post any more pictures, what with Chainsaw's expose upthread. :wink:


Packed very well, second only to Black Blade (and that's saying a lot). Nice prints, solid box, sweet map, very usable and well layed out manuals, and cool dice (d20 numbered 0-9 twice, just the way I like it). All in all, very nicely done gents!
