Ptolus - Six Days Early!

[Angel Tarragon]

Sorry, I misrepresented my words. I meant to say that I preordered yesterday. Sorry.

Now let this be a lesson to all you others out there. Words may not break bones, but they can still be upsetting.

Thank you, Fru-fru, for helping me to see that I have probably gotten more worked up over this product than is healthy.

I just remembered - there's a Google(r) Desktop gadget that will count down to whatever day you want. I'm gonna go see if I can find and download that now that I have a good use for it.

I just got a new gadget for Google Desktop which counts down the days to Ptolus's release.

I'm eagerly awaiting this as well. My life got much more hectic in the past year so I had to give up my homebrew and wanted to run something the PCs weren't familiar with that gave me enough detail to make it a lot easier on me. I think Ptolus fits this bill perfectly...

You seem a bit enthusiastic...

Looking forward to it.

Be interesting if my preorder shows up while I'm at Gen Con.

White Wolf sent me an email the other day and you can let them know that you will be at GenCon to pick it up. All you have to do is go to their site from the email and fill out your info and they will take your copy to GenCon for you.

I will be there to pick them up!

I'm so excited! And I just can't hide it!

I'm so excited! And I just can't hide it!

...I'm about to loose control and I think I like it.

I am now putting together page counter pages for the Ptolus CC, and it's clicking at over 140 new counters...

Booyah!

[rythmicchant]Ptolus. . .Ptolus. . .Ptolus. . .[/rythmicchant] I have been increasingly excited about this project since Monte announced a "secret project for 2006," but now, I'm unemployed and on vacation (school teacher/gamer multiclass) and nervously waiting for word back on an application I just submitted.

Thinking about Ptlolus distracts me from life's real problems. Then again, that's probably why I game, or rather, why I still think of myself as a gamer when I can't keep a gaming group together.

When I go to sleep at night, I set aside problems from work and problems at home and all the real problems of life and instead drift off worrying about how to balance a new PC race at LA +0 or how to describe a new spell to make it compelling, or whatever other issue is at hand. Trivial, enjoyable puzzles that RPGs present allow me respite from real problems long enough to relax and enjoy life.

Ptolus offers a whole bunch of terrific new reading, new stuff to think about, a new shiney when I can't afford to buy shineys, and is, overall, enough to restore some of that original thrill I had when I first discovered D&D.

So, yes, I am excited.
