Everything crossed that there is one of those coveted red and white pieces of paper on our doormat when we get home. I have tomorrow off, so I can go and pick it up. Squeeeee!!

I'm depending on the UK Royal Mail to be on time for a change: I've taken this friday off (combining it with my dentist check-up) so I can either take delivery (if they're on time), go to the post office (if they're early i.e. today) or sit around and twiddle my thumbs (if they're late) I also...

And when you have cornered Rob - I dread to ask - what will you do to/with him? :)

Mine have shipped now as well. I've only got 1st class Royal Mail, so the e.t.a. is the 9th, but I'm hoping they'll be here on friday or saturday... Fingers Crossed. :)

I'm switching from 3.5. I'm also (unless 4th edition turns out to s*ck bolwingballs through gardenhoses) completely switching to 4th edition. Somehow, 3.5 just didn't hold my attention for the rules and all the class variants anymore. I tried injecting some life into my campaign by buying...

You could use the two 'preview' books for this as well. There's a lot of info on the world in those. Maybe they're not 100% canon (they might have changed things around as they were written when 4ed was a WIP, but still...)

It's nice here. Granted, I'm not a native either (I moved from The Netherlands almost 5 years ago) but I really like it.

Did you order with free delivery? I tend to avoid that if I can eek out the few quid. Free delivery basically means "when Amazon can be bothered"

An update for those of you who are interested in these kind of things: The status of my order has just changed to "We are preparing these items for dispatch and this part of your order cannot be cancelled or changed." Fingers crossed.

I Haven't been able to download it yet, but I do have a question already: How do you create these kind of things? I love having fillable PDFs, but I have no idea how to actually make them. (If you don't want to give away your trade secrets, that fine with me too :) )

Nice idea. Sadly, all the friends I have I could give a PHB to for birthdays or the like have theirs pre-ordered like me... But maybe my wife wants one... Hmmmm :D

Two questions: 1. Has anyone gotten their KotS from Amazon.co.uk and if so, when? (how long after release date) 2. How are the opinions of the esteemed forum on the chances of Amazon.co.uk actually shipping the books (in my case the collector's slipcase edition) on time this time around...

Thanks for the advice and the pointers to older threads guys! Much appreciated.

I've got a bunch of players that don't trawl the forums that much and as far as I know haven't picked up on the Minion phenomenon yet. (I played the first encounter from KotS with them and they didn't twig that if they'd killed the weak monsters first they'd be in a whole less trouble...) So...

Correct! Have a cookie! I like the new crit rules. It goes a long way of taking the ambiguity out of the damage as well. I was always floundering with questions about if rolling damage 2x also included the magic bonus or something like that.

My amazon (pre)order still stands at an estimated delivery date of 6-9 June. However, I was not pleased with the way they handled the KotS debacle. Luckily I got my copy from a friendly (but not cheap and not so local) store I managed to get to after the release date. Has anyone actually...

Hmmm... No, I don't see it that way: On reading the challenge and the encounter, I would say both outcomes are a full win. Slaying Kalarel means he is dead and the ritual has failed. The portal closes. Closing the portal using the challenge means a win as well, so I'd make it so Kalarel gets...

That I can see and I really love the idea. However, my beef is with how to get the players to know what they can do (if at all) That sounds like a plan... I like it :)

Can I be cheeky and piggy-back a question on this thread: (If it's already been answered I apologise, but I haven't got the time right now to search through the forum) How do people think a Skill Challenge should be presented to the players? All I've read right now has left me a bit confused...

I hope you're right friend. My Thursday group is counting on me getting it before then. Luckily it's being delivered to work...
