Re: Order of the Stick Heh. Definitely quotable. Classic Elan, so close, and yet so very, very far from the mark.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... "We're the subprime mortgage of superhero groups." <-- strangely, this did not inspire confidence. Character A has been having some problems with his powers - they keep futzing out, and he doesn't know why. He has borrowed a blaster and some armor from Primus. Just before the PCs jump into a trap, and begin combat, one asks: "You did practice with that pistol, right?" A replies "I played a detective in a play once. He had a gun."

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive Hah. I had a thin layer of plastic film. At first, I thought it was cling wrap, but then saw one lone remaining bubble in the corner. Mashed completely flat it was.

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive At long last they have arrived. And I would like to say that it was a good thing they were packed in two boxes - because the outer box had a good sized tear in it. (Maybe the box alone was heavy enough for the post office to justify using the forklift, I don't know). Hopefully other people have good news today as well.

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive Another day, and still no 6th ed. I must admit that each day makes me rethink my purchase. I understand delays. I understand shipping problems. But at least 32 days will pass from the time the first person reported getting it until I will get mine - and that is if I actually get it on Monday. Yeah, I'm venting a bit here, and there probably is a bit of sour grapes too. But the 6th ed pre-order was one of my "must-have" purchases for GenCon, and I am a little annoyed that I still don't have it yet.

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive Found out the other guy in my gaming group who also ordered 6th ed at GenCon doesn't have hit yet either. I can officially start worrying on Monday, right?

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive Yay! UPS arrived. . . . with boots for my son.

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive But I am left-handed. And also still without books. Looking back, I have barely looked at the CD with the pdfs. If I had to do it again, I would have chosen to support my FLGS, and picked up something else at GenCon. The extra delay is not worth the CD, IMO.

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive Or, I could just make a phone call or two, and probably have a second copy at my house by Saturday afternoon. The discount price will probably pay for most of the overnight shipping. And, as an added plus, when my GenCon copy arrives, I would have a spare to serve as a loaner.

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive Will you take a post-dated, out of state, two-party bad check?

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive Heh. And which one of you got my copy by mistake, and how much will it cost me to get it back?

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive Well, it is comforting to know that there is comfort in my misery, I guess. I was hoping that at least one of you would have gotten yours today.

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive Nope. Nothing again today.

Re: A Storeowner's First Impression I thought much of Rifts was interesting (and have thought about trying to get a bunch of the sourcebooks if I can find them cheap and porting them over to the Hero system), but stopped playing after the first session, when I realized that magicians do SDC damage, and everyone else does MDC damage. It was very disappointing to realize that your best spell is somewhat less effective than a spitball in combat. Generally very nice artwork though.

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive Nothing for me either. Not sure if the others in my gaming group have their copies either, actually.

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive And even worse when they leave the shattered remnants of three dice at the door. . .

Re: A Storeowner's First Impression

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive Well, if mine was sent via USPS, I have to wait at least until tomorrow. Nothing again today.

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive I am still waiting as well.

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive I could order APG directly, and the two orders could have a race across America to see which one gets to me first.

Re: And 6e print books start to arrive Huzzah for Maya. Now go turn that zombie mule around and kick it toward the midwest.
