[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 2860147, member: 326"] Hey there Saerynishar! :) Thanks for the help. :) ...and as someone with a strong, manly chest I can reveal that the latter does tickle more. :p Currently, it looks like the Pre-ordering will begin on Monday 5th June. However I probably won't ship the Playtest document until Thursday of that week. The reasons being that... a) I have to get the cover painting done for the Pre-order release and thats going to take me the best part of this Saturday/Sunday to finish (by the way I have sketched it out and I think you will all love the illustration of Thrin vs. Apophis). ;) b) This afternoon/evening I have to finalise the Bestiary and send it to the Printers, which involves some changes to the cover (product codes, bar codes, price, a spine etc.) and I want to double check all the text one last time just to be on the safe side. Incidently the Epic Bestiary: Volume One should be on sale in September 2006. So basically thats three days less time working on the text than I otherwise thought I would have, and obviously I want to have as much of the text finished as possible for the Playtesters to get their teeth into. I can't simply delay the Pre-order past Monday 5th since I need to have at least some small amount of money entering my account by the 16th of June, otherwise I'll have to borrow yet more money and likely have to pass on the only local gaming convention of the year in Belfast (Q-Con) which runs from the 16th-18th June. Early adopters will be able to Pre-order for $12.50. The final price will be between $13.50 and $13.95. The current build of the book I have is 200 pages, and that may rise to as many as 208 for the 'Gold' release*. So if you Pre-order you will be saving between 7.5-10%. *Yes I am finally confident that it can go no higher than 208 pages. ;) As a pricing guideline I have been thinking roughly 10 cents/page for the first 100 pages and 4 cents/page after that, and finally rounding down to the nearest .25/.50/.75/.95. Of course you don't count pages like the credits, table of contents and open game license as actual pages in this case. Does that seem fair/unfair to people? So (given the 4 pages of credits, contents and OGL) 160 pages would be $11.95 192 pages would be $13.50 200 pages would be $13.75 208 pages would be $13.95 [/QUOTE]
