Hey, bossman (or anyone else who might know ), do you guys plan on putting this into print format?

I very much want to buy this in print myself. Ive been holding off on the digital edition percisely because I want it in print.

Saw mention of that plan on either their blog or the e-mail letter. Or maybe on their G+ Community page. Regardless, they are now planning to put it into print some time after the rule books are reprinted.Lord Dynel wrote:Hey, bossman (or anyone else who might know ), do you guys plan on putting this into print format?
Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

Same here. I know I'm late in responding to this (post, thread, topic, etc.) but that is what I've been doing, as well. Just want to make my preference/presence known.trashheap wrote:I very much want to buy this in print myself. Ive been holding off on the digital edition percisely because I want it in print.

"Rules not understood should have appropriate questions directed to the publisher; disputes with the Dungeon Master are another matter entirely. THE REFEREE IS THE FINAL ARBITER OF ALL AFFAIRS OF HIS OR HER CAMPAIGN."

Ditto here. I'm sure I would enjoy it in PDF, but I would get next to no use from it. On the other hand, a print version would help me out very much indeed, and I would totally pick it up like it were a big bright-eyed happy puppy with a collar of $100 bills..trashheap wrote:I very much want to buy this in print myself.

If this were released in print, I would definitely pick it up.
