Sorry-- I didn't realize that the linked discussion was in the Far West Society-specific forum.
There's another in the General forum now.
Neal -- Latest update is here:
http://intothefarwest.com/forum/discussion/51/any-new-updates-on-the-rpgs#Item_3
To answer your question directly: PDF will be going to backers (and the printer!) this month.
Are there any updates on the adventure game? I checked the forums but the last update was mid February IIRC.
Still underway -- for all latest updates and information, be sure to visit our official FAR WEST forum at http://intothefarwest.com/forum/
What's the status on the hardcover? Is there an ETA?
I liked your first post better. :) No worries about the cover, as long as it has one.
Er... that should be "IT was", not "I was." I'm not a pie-in-the-sky dream. (At least, I don't think so...) :)
Doomedpaladin -- I was a pie-in-the-sky dream, I'm afraid. I shouldn't have mentioned it. Turns out that it increases the price of the rulebook by 30% or more. I still need to make sure I account for shirts, shipping, etc.
How much more would a leather bound version be? Would you be willing to do another Kickstarter (or similar fundraising thing) to make it happen? Its just a really frickin' cool idea, I'm sad to see it go.
Happy New Year! And what an exciting year I hope it will be!
BTW, have you decided on a cover material? If so, will it be leather?
Thank you, sir. E-mail sent.
You can add more books until mid-December. Use the link that I sent out for the order page -- if you don't recall it, drop me an email at gms@adamantentertainment.com
When's the deadline to add more books to our order? I ordered three, but would like one more. They will make awesome Christmas presents! :)
I'll be sending out an update tomorrow.
With it now being December, is there any word on the digital release of the game?
Sweet!
Soon-ish. :)
Any chance we can get a peeksie at the character sheet any time soon? :)
Surfmonkey01-- We're shooting for print, but it will depend on printer's scheduling, delivery times, etc. But at least the digital copies will go out.
So one thing I wasn't totally clear on from the Twitter chat... when you say the backer release is in December, you mean just the pdf, right? The print copy comes later? That's how I interpreted it, but wasn't 100% sure I was right...
Feel better. Colds suck.
Currently busy trying to kick this cold, but will be posting some new material on the Far West website later today.
More teasers! ;)
Anxious!! :)
Lee -- if you've filled out the survey that was sent to you, that should do it.
How can we tell if we have done everything needed?
Lee
Will do and thanks!
Benjamin -- that's correct. You're already down for 3 copies total (yours, plus two extra). If you'd like to add more, use the provided link.
Oh! To be clear, I pledged at the $150.00 level, but added an extra $100.00 for two more copies and would like to add a third. Does that mean I only purchase one more? I just wanted to be sure.
GMA: Benjamin-- Check the latest update.
Thanks!
Matt-- Not at all. You have up until we go to press (which will be in November).
If I didn't include my epithet on my survey ( not that I have one in mind) is it too late?
Benjamin-- Check the latest update.
How do we up our request for copies of the HC? Through and e-mail?
We're still waiting on the final numbers.
Do you know who won the upgrade for most copies from distributors?
Yup-- as per the FAQ on the main Kickstarter page (which is where you saw it), everything starts shipping out in December.
Okay, I'm going to ask a really stupid question, but....Is the book shipping in December? Or some of the rewards? I seem to remember on the website a while ago about December being important, but can't remember where I saw it.
Thanks for the quick update :) I'll probably go with the PDF since I love the evocative imagery.
Tom "Tāngmǔ Rex" Ryan at yer service
Tables are just fine -- epub (and mobi, for that matter) are just packaged XHTML formats.
The PDF will be identical to the physical book. The Kindle and ePub versions will be largely straight text (including tables), with little to no artwork (we'll probably insert a few images here and there, but generally speaking, it will be text).
For the electronic version I'm interested in the ePub but I'm concerned it won't be able to support the layout needs of an RPG book (tables being one possible issue). How different is the ePub versus the PDF (versus the physical book) likely to be?
Thanks, I'll send a message about the epithet to add since I can't edit the survey after already sending it.
Yes-- if you're at the epithet level, you should add that, since that's how it will appear in the acknowledgements.
@penguinpaladin - Yeah, I'm having the same problem.
Suggestions on discriptive adjectives?
oops. I just finished my survey. Did I need to put an epithat along with my acknowledgement name?
What's everyone doing for their name in the acknowledgments? I want to do something neat and western but I've got nothing.
Awesome, that means I can pick up a copy or two for my group :) ♥ Skarka
Scott-- We won't be shipping until December. You've got time.
