Tomorrow all prints up to #34 will have been shipped....39 in all.  Slowly but surely they are all going out.  Looks like everything will be delivered by the end of August at the absolute latest. Thanks for everyone's patience...I am running a business plus shipping these, so they go out after everything else is done for the day.

Got my print today.  Awesome job, guys, thanks for all the hard work that went in by the committee and of course, EO.

Mine arrived today in perfect condition. It's even better than I expected. Thanks to everyone on the committee for your hard work.

Lots of heat and high humidity make me worry about the mail, but the mailman laid the tube safely inside my screen door.  Alternate mailmen do whatever they want with packages, so I am fortunate that the regular mailman was working today.

The print is too small to be completely successful as an automobile window-shade.  However, the thick stock and high-quality ink soak up the UV rays quite well.  I expect that it will last another week or ten days in the sun before significant bleaching occurs.

:wink:

Here's a few items worth mentioning:

Wavemotion left all of a sudden because no one was giving him love/respect/whatever.

Devon released TSR1-INSIDIOUS an AD&D adventure which has received excellent reviews while his packing has received some less-than-ideal reviews.

Badmike is about halfway through mailing out the EO Limited Edition prints.

Deimos the limber lemur has gone hibernating and the chat is now on ntrpgcon.com

We discussed Westboro Baptist Church for a while and their despicable proclivity to sue most anyone.

NTPRPGCON was a hit.  Smarmy and Lucy talked privately for a LONG time.   :wink:

Jim Perelman's 1st Ed PHB  is still on the move.  I think it went to GenCon for a transfer.

Gary Gygax's auction was last night and we are eagerly awaiting a review.

4th Edition may be on the way out.  http://www.enworld.org/

FREE RPG Day appeared to have fewer participants than last year, but the stuff was perceived to be better.

I'm sure there's other news out there worth mentioning, but that's a start.   8)


Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

I've been away for months and I can tell you most likely, no.

But I guess if somebody opted out or if somebody wanted to sell their's keep an eye on these threads.

Barring anyone selling their print, the only other possibility would be one that hasn't been auctioned off yet through the NTRPG con. I can't recall whether the last remaining one or two were auctioned already.

Just picked mine up at the post office.
It looks simply amazing and the monster stats sheet and certificate of authenticity are also very nice additions.
Thanks to the committee members for their hard work and dedication to make this happen!
Now...where's my staple gun...? :twisted:

Blue tack, have to use blue tack on it. Do they still make that stuff?

I thought we'd established that these should be laminated, ready for use as a place mat on the dinner table.

I ran mine through the shredder and am now piecing it back together in a Pollock sort of style.
