        If you use a computer to run Parsely, is it still Parsely? What if the GM is a sentient AI?

        I don't know, ask Jason Corley. I'm pretty sure he's a sentient AI.

    Fear not. Your name's there, Joe. You were mailed the preview copy which wasn't quite done. All Kickstarter backers get Z-W-X for free. 244 copies will be sent out and everyone should have access the PDF (either because I emailed directly or through RPGNow*). *In January everyone should be able to get the updated versions through RPGNow. I could only send out 150 copies of each title through that system.

    Joseph, I had to order more than initial demands (~200 copies) so rather than throw them away I'm going to make them available to other people.

    Z-Ward shipping deets

    Z-WARD and Z-WARD-X have arrived safe and sound at Skull Mountain. They're available for order now on the MMT site and *all* orders will start shipping when I return from Maine on Monday.

    I have the shirts and other goodies (!) but I'm still awaiting the buttons and patches. Here's how I'll do the shipping: the $10-$20 orders will go out first (because I have all the materials here) followed by the $25+ orders in January. Cool?

    Print copies of Z-WARD-X (the expansion) may be available in print once the kickstarter orders are sent out. Thanks for your support!

        Alas, also I didn't see my name in the game under in-patient roster. :-(
        Only just remembered to mention that. Perhaps in future printings...?

        Sorry to annoy you, but I just want to add that I really enjoy doing business with you, because I think you put out a quality product and that you care about your customers. I would hate someone to only see me whining about the negatives.
        Also, ZW was a rousing success at my gaming table!

        Lol! Sorensen, you are trying too hard to look badass. However, the shirt is awesome! Great job.

    Terence, No decisions yet. Next Parsely game will be in 2012. Probably 1st half.

        Have you worked on the $6500 reward at all (not rushing you, just curious)? Did you decide on "Cactus Town" or "Pirate Ship" or something else?

        No decisions yet. Next Parsely game will be in 2012. Probably 1st half.
