Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dias Ex Machina" data-source="post: 5673426" data-attributes="member: 58907">I wanted to wait until I had the second prototype in my hand before I posted again.  Alas, it did not arrive this Friday, meaning we are backed up at least until Tuesday, since Monday is a holiday in BC.  Grrrr.   One thing I can report is the upcoming price point for the Amethyst Evolution hardcover.  The original cover price will be listed at $26.99 but will have a sale price of $21.99.  Those that want the color PDF and the B+W hardcover only need to spend $3.00 more.  Now, to the couple hundred people that have downloaded Amethyst Evolution so far, you are not getting burned.  EVERYONE that has purchased Amethyst Evolution before the release of the hardcover is being sent a coupon that will allow them to purchase the hardcover for 13.99.  For those wondering, that's a greater discount than the $3.00 price difference between the hardcover and the hardcover/PDF bundle.  It's not much…but it is less.  I just finished a 10,000 word article for Living Dice which was broken up into six parts and which will begin on Monday.  It deals with an exchange between Dias Ex Machina and a forum that ran a database of illegally distributed 1st and 3rd party games.  The dialogue was more or less civil and the end result is a surprising announcement from DEM regarding the future of one of its product lines.  That is really the only good news to report.  My netbook died on my during August, and I lost about three weeks of work on the Invasion Proxy module that is being released for free and is being bundled in with the Ultramodern4 rules system.  That's a setback.  It gets really hard to get in front of a keyboard and type when you are just trying to reconstruct work you had already completed.  Oh, and I got evicted.  Awesome.</blockquote>
