Another Immortals Handbook thread

[Sledge]

Judgement is a correct way to spell it. The spelling Judgment is more commonly accepted in the US, but it is not the only way to spell it. The word in middle english iirc was Jugement. So the "e" is actually older than the "d". http://www.margaret-marks.com/Transblawg/archives/000571.html has a little more to say on the subject.

As for buying it. We hear that "any day now" you'll be able to buy the pdf from RPGNow and other vendors possibly. Of course any day now could be a long time yet, but we hope for the best.

I am a grammar and spelling nazi. Thank you.
I don't have paypal, or pounds/euros, is there anyway I can send American $ through a money order for the immortals handbook. If I do get paypal, what happens if I have American $.

There's no difficulty paying with american dollars. Paypal is like the gnomes of zurich, they have all the monies they need to make the transaction. Can't help you without Paypal offhand, though.

Hi Sledge matey!

does this mean I can stop refreshing www.immortalshandbook.com every 5 minutes?

Well you know, at best I am going to be updating about once a week, so every 5 minutes is probably pushing it a bit.

Seriously I'm really looking forward to the updates.

Tiny problem at the moment in that my webspace account has been suspended for failure to pay an invoice...which I have actually paid - the money simply hasn't reached them yet. I get invoiced 5 days before the money is due, with a further 5 day leniency extension. Even though I generally post the money order on the same day or following day I receive the invoice, it still takes at least a week to get it to them. Which means its always close to the end of the extension period that it reaches them. Amazingly it still hasn't reached them at this point even though I posted it on the same day as I received the invoice (this will be the moneys 10th day in transit). I'm slightly worried that the post has been lost this time, although fingers crossed its just the sloth of the postal service.

I wonder if the postal service in the US has been overtly affected by the recent hurricane disasters? I was sending the money to Atlanta, Georgia, which to my knowledge would have been unaffected by the hurricanes anyway, so I suppose I am clutching at straws.

Hopefully it will all sort itself out in a day or two.

Hi there Crosshair!

Well according to both my Oxford Dictionary and Cambridge Dictionary it can be spelt either judgement or judgment.

Even though I generally compromise the Queens English for the pdf. (since America is the biggest market), I don't do the same for the website.

Funny you should mention nazis, I recently saw this fantastic show on the History channel a few days ago called Luftwaffe 46, which was all about the secret planes the german airforce had at the end of the second world war. One thing that shocked me was that the germans actually had a stealth plane (!) and I don't mean on the drawing board - I mean they built it and they flew it. Amazingly the americans actually captured it (its now in an american museum) but it took them 35 years to realise what they had in their hands!

Some of the stuff was incredible, they had jet powered helicopter gunships as well as vertical take off planes, but I think they only had time to build a few prototypes for these. They also had air to air missiles (some 10 years before the allies had them).

...anyway, I digress.

I don't have paypal, or pounds/euros, is there anyway I can send American $ through a money order for the immortals handbook. If I do get paypal, what happens if I have American $.

Well if you get paypal it can convert the currency into british pounds sterling.

If you don't get paypal I would accept a money order, although you'll have to wait until that clears before I can send you the pdf. If you want to do things this way I can give you the details via email.

However, you may want to wait until next week, as I should be releasing the official bestiary fairly soon(ish) which has all the art, all the errata fixed, some updates and a few surprises (for those who have the unofficial Bestiary) too.

I should have the official Bestiary available at both rpgnow and again via my own website.

Let's see it, then! C'mon, you! Oi!

Hey Anabstercorian matey!

Let's see it, then! C'mon, you! Oi!

Soon(ish)...as in code for about a week...hopefully*...says the man who never misses a deadline. :\

*fingers crossed.

I also have the cover image (for the Bestiary) drawn, but not yet painted. Lets hope I can channel the spirit of Wayne Reynolds, if not the talent, as I haven't painted in 'yonks'.

 

[Sledge]

scan in the B&W first just in case eh?

 

[Eversius]

Hey UK!

Excellent news on the progress! I am excited as to see how everything turns out. I hope everything works out fine with the postal service, as I wish to see the rest of the Absolutes article!

 

[Zoatebix]

Seconded!

Hey Sledge mate!

Unfortunately thats not an option with the cover since its on a stretched page which is itself attached to a very large art board. I'll not be able to scan it until I cut it out, and I can't cut it out until after I paint it.

There are approximately six illustrations left to draw, although of those drawn about ten still need inked...or in my case 'markered' I guess. I should be able to get everything drawn over the weekend so that will just leave a lot of colouring in and the painting of the cover.

I should also get the revised text and changes finished over the weekend too...which may or may not include some new creatures.
