Tell us which of our first four products you intend to buy.  These do not need to be through pre-orders, necessarily, but tell us if you don’t intend to buy them through our site for some reason, as that will have a large impact on the results.  Also, since many of you are PDF customers, feel free to let us know if you intend to buy in PDF but not in print.  Every little bit of data helps.The Products are:The Echoes of Heaven Campaign SettingCritical MattersThe Last Free CityThe Lost Kingdom of the DwarvesAll of The Echoes of Heaven products contain their accompanying adventure from The Moving Shadow.We look forward to your responses.And now, for those who aren’t as familiar with our line, some information to help you with your decision.The Echoes of Heaven Campaign Setting -- This is the core book for The Echoes of Heaven.  Our staff reviews on RPGNow are 4 stars and 4.5 stars.  This line came within a hair’s breadth of garnering an Ennie nomination and Jeramy Ware, the Ennie Judge, said that it would have had it been submitted in the same manner as Battletech Classic.  He also recommended it as the number one product line to buy that didn’t earn a nomination.  This product contains The Throne of God, the first adventure in the epic Moving Shadow Campaign.Critical Matters – More than a thousand critical results for 4th edition, from the comical to the spectacular, this product is a must for any 4th edition campaign.  If David hadn’t used this product, Goliath would have won.The Last Free City – A five-star staff-reviewed product, this book details the city of Felric’s Redoubt in The Echoes of Heaven.  It also includes the adventure The Festering Earth, the continuation of The Moving Shadow and the Sequel to The Throne of God.The Lost Kingdom of the Dwarves—Never reviewed by an RPGNow staffer, but a must for anyone who loves Dwarves.  This is the third product in The Echoes of Heaven and it contains On Corrupted Ground, the spectacular end to Act One of The Moving Shadow.  In this adventure the characters will begin to realize the true horror of the plot facing the Mortal Realm.</blockquote>
