I did not get a copy of TA#2 although I did preorder 2 copies of T20. Did I do something wrong?

Did you pay via PayPal? We didn't have it set up for the T20 preorder but we did get a couple that way. If this is how you ordered I can fix you up.

If you payed through our store with a credit card, you should have gotten an order confirmation email that included a link from which you could download TA #2.

I ordered paypal and got a letter from you for payment recieved...remember, I also had to send a second transaction for the shipping because I forgot to add it to the original price.

I got my TA#2...just need to print it out now...

still waiting for the handbook too...NOT to put any pressure on you....no, no pressure at all, being busy exectutive types-n-all you've got a megacororation to oversee, "hands-on-the-reins","irons-in-the-fire" kind of thing...so,no pressure from me, nope, no sir-ree, none at all.

lol

Just got my edition of T20 here in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada!

While we would have dearly liked to have gotten them to you before anyone else, it takes time to have 6+ pallets of books shipped from Canada down to Georgia, and it takes time to process some 300+ individual preorders, get them packed and sent out. We're doing the best job we can, but we can only do it so fast.

Folks, in Hunter's defense...

Having the big chunks shipped direct from the printer is the only affordable way to do it - it is MUCH cheaper to ship these big loads from the printer rather than have cases shipped to GA, and then back out to distributors. And cheaper means more money for Hunter to get more stuff out!

The book is well worth the wait though... Just got through generating characters last night for a Merc campaign. Between QLI/T20 and FFE's reprints, I feel like I'm running my old college group all over again!

Yep, I'd forgiven Hunter and the gang long ago. Even if they'd been shipped to us 3 weeks before the distributer copies, out here in hawaii it seems our postal workers work about 3-4 hours a day max. All those aloha mondays, tuesdays, wensdays, thursdays, and fridays. Mail takes 30% longer to get to us on average so things are late as a rule...

On the other hand, me and the wife are about to start buying homes in P'cola, Fl soon. I remember the mail works out there.

Walked into the local branch of Forbidden Planet with the intention of buying the Creature Collection vol2. Sitting there on the shelf was the ONE copy of T20 that the had in.

I ran to the bank, drew out an extra tenner and bought the book.

It had just come in that morning.

We have had LOTS of reports of that at stores we sold to. The record so far is all 3 copies sold in 5 minutes - including the one the owner had ordered for himself...

Ah, the sacrifice

 

[Travellin_Jack]

Have yet to see it here in the Red River Valley...

Still waiting in Eastern Mass.

Just got my notification card from UPS this afternoon, so I'll have my pre-order Monday.

The sad thing [And bear in mind, I'm not complaining here] is that I'm only about 80-90 miles north of Atlanta.

Since I picked up a copy from my FLGS last week, it's just one of those anticipatory things you get when you are expecting to receive something.

 

[endwarde]

Just got mine in southern Maine.

 

[Euson1]

Just got mine in eastern Iowa. Great job.

 

[adamsmith]

Woo Hoo!
I had to order it from Jedko (I prefer to buy from my local store whenever possible), but it's in my hot little hands.
If it's made it to Canberra, it must be everywhere!

 

[Cylus Maxii]

Attacktix has it in Denver, Colorado.

 

[Soliton Wave]

Anyone in Montréal received their pre-order yet? Anybody in Québec? Anywhere in Canada? I had pre-ordered 2 copies, one was for a birthday present...In August, hehe. Hope to get it this week.

 

[PapaGolfWhiskey]

I live in the boondocks of ontario.

I received mine hmm... nearly a month ago.

Yeah but not a pre-order right? That was the question. I'm out here orbiting Regina (Saskatchewan that is

) and pre-ordered way back but I'm not going to worry too much for at least another week. That'd make it about 3wks, which, depending on the type of snail mail they went with, would be about average for a parcel. I heard a (not so) local game store had it in but they were closed (and were supposed to be open) when I had a chance to stop by, so no sale. I would have bought it then but now I'll probably just wait, their (and QLI's) loss

Oh well, do all keep an alert out for those re-patriated pre-orders and shout when they come home

 

[PapaGolfWhiskey]

No it wasn't a pre-order...urg! you mean pre-orders have to cross the border TWICE?

Just hope no Pat Buchanen Fans are working for US customs when your package goes through Never know how such a person might feel about 'Terrorist Haven Free Loading Canuckistan'

 

[GypsyComet]

Hunter FYI: I was talking to the manager of a store I was in last night, a little out of my normal range. When I asked if he had seen T20 yet, his response was that his distributor claimed they "hadn't been contacted about carrying it." I think he said he uses "MPV", or similar...

 

[Gerald]

Hoo Hah!!!

I snagged mine at Dream Wizards in Rockville, Maryland!

So...much...crunchy...goodness...

Now I'm off to build a homebrew setting.
