Anyone received their hard copy yet?

[Hand of Evil]

What email are you referring to? I'm sure I didn't receive any, and I don't think that further information for shipping the core book was needed by Monte Cook Games.

This one from Aug 17th

Dear Tracy,

Thank you for supporting Numenera through PayPal! Monte Cook Games appreciates you!

It has come to my attention that not all PayPal backers and pre-order customers check in with us at Numenera, nor on Facebook/Numenera, and this has led to a breakdown in communication. This is my fault and I¹m sorry. It didn¹t occur to me that you wouldn¹t be checking our website and Facebook pages for updates on Numenera, but now I realize that I should have been proactive in contacting you.

I have lots of news to share with you! Some of it is great, but some of it is sad. I¹ll also share some links to posts by Monte so that you can read his thoughts first hand.

Some great news: Numenera (corebook) ebook was sent out to all backers (including PayPal backers and pre-order customers) on August 1st, and the Player¹s Guide was sent out soon after. Huzzah!

Some sad news: Not all backers (especially PayPal backers and pre-order customers) knew to look for the email from DriveThruRPG.com and so not all backers received their ebooks.

If you didn¹t receive your ebook(s), please send me an email at wheresmybook@numenera.com and put the name of the book (Numenera corebook or Player¹s Guide or both) in the subject line. (Please know that while I read the emails sent to wheresmybook@numenera.com, that¹s not the email address to use for general questions. If you have general questions or concerns, please email me directly at tammie@montecookgames.com.)

More great news: The printed products started shipping this week, but most will ship next week. We are about a week behind in shipping. To read Monte¹s thoughts on this, please go here: Kickstarter Update #67.

And now for the saddest news: On August 4th, Monte¹s father passed away. You can read what Monte shared here: My Dad. Our hearts went out to Monte on his loss.

But I don¹t want to leave you on a sad note, so here¹s a photo taken today of Monte at Gen Con Indy 2013 being interviewed by that rascal, The Dungeon Bastard:

Ah, OK. I supported the Kickstarter, so the process was different and that explains why I didn't receive the email. Thanks for the information.

So, has anyone in Europe received their copy yet? According to Monte's Numenera update #68 the maximum shipping time would be three weeks.

I don't know how relevant this is to anyone, but the copy I ordered from Amazon arrived a couple of days ago.

I received both my Book and Cypher deck on Monday! (I was a KS Backer and used the default Amazon Payments method - Henderson, NV). It was VERY well protected and arrived in great condition. It's truly a gorgeous work!

I know there was an unexpected delay in despatch so curious if anyone has their's yet? Particularly anyone in the UK!

yes but due t vision issues have not finished reading it yet , but liking it so far.

I'm still waiting for the book here in the US. If it doesn't arrive today, I'm e-mailing Monte Cook Games to see if there's a problem.

 

[Nikosandros]

I'm also still waiting, but unfortunately the time that it takes a package to clear customs in Italy is essentially random.

My copy of the core rule book, player's guide, gm screen and dice arrived last week while I was in Canada. Dispatched via a local games store (Gameslore). Minor damage to the hard cover (I suspect the package was dropped at some point) but not enough to complain about.

As an aside, I was a "Just the Stuff" KS backer. Does that mean my copies shouldn't be signed - I suspect that's right but just wanted to check
