We got confirmation yesterday that Vornheim was arrviing today. Then today they tell us it's coming tomorrow.
Alarm bells. We're off to Sweden first thing in the morning, so that's no good. That started a day of stress.
Some helpful employee of the printing company that drives an expensive car dropped off four boxes of Vornheim - about 100 copies.
For some reason one of the boxes was padded with... a ton of Vornheim dust jackets. All the books I've seen look fine, but I hope this doesn't mean there's a bunch arriving on Tuesday that will be naked.
Yeah, we kept telling them "Nobody here tomorrow or Friday!" and they'd say "OK, the rest will be there Tuesday!" but when we'd talk to someone new, they say "...and the rest will be there tomorrow!" Hopefully there isn't a pallet of picked-apart pallet of Vornheims waiting for us when we get back Sunday.
So we're off first thing in the morning to Sweden to attend GothCon. We are bringing copies of the Grindhouse Edition, Vornheim, Death Frost Doom, Grinding Gear, Hammers of the God, Tower of the Stargazer, Weird New World, plus a couple of Rogue Games' Cursed Chateau and Shadow Sword & Spell Basic and Expert books. We'll be at the convention Friday and Saturday, but not Sunday.
We'll be back Sunday night, and we will likely have no internet access until then.
We've shipped about 100 orders so far. About 200 more to be filled, but you have to wait until next week...
Oh yeah, I got a notice today telling me that my Frog God Games shipment is sitting in customs. We'll deal with that when we get back, and that will mean 11 Frog God Swords & Wizardry titles will get added to the webstore very soon. We've arranged it so if you order the print copy, you get the PDF free direct from our store.
That's enough news for now.

Vornheim looks great! I'd be nervous too, about the extra Vornheim covers. Someone at the printers location is probably saying, "now where did all those covers get too!"

ReplyDeleteAwesome! Between the fast shipping and reasonable postage charges LOTFP is my absolute favorite vendor from which to purchase dead tree editions.
Oddly enough, when I purchase vinyl LPs from European vendors generally the shipping is also cheaper and faster than ordering from North American sources...
