GhostDancer Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 @$24.95, that's roughly the same price and page count as the excellent San Angelo: City of Heroes city/campaign book from waaaaaay back in 1998. Those few of you who are new to M. Surbrook's super work, here's a taste- http://surbrook.devermore.com/index/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redner Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I just bought the package deal. So far no PDF file in my client area page. But, then again, I've just bought it several hours ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 There seems to be some kind of problem getting the PDF. I had the same experience. Contact Jason about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
culhwch Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I somehow missed this!! Any chance for a reprint? If not, I'll live with a PDF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Baker Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I don't know if it's just not updated, but the BlackWyrm Games site still shows a print copy (of course it also still says pre-order on the page). http://www.blackwyrm.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=175 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borbetomagnus Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 I just ordered Larger Than Life today and can't wait to see the PDF. The hardcopy will arrive, but the PDF will keep me until then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
