[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 8603129, member: 7808"] I have some minor and interesting updates on Cult of Abaddon. First, the PDF copy is no longer available for sale. Vince Florio edited his page (link in the OP) to add "Due to some legal advice I was given, I decided to remove the PDF from sale. Thanks for inquiring folks!" The adventure is also removed from lulu. I don't know when this change was made. NuTSR has claimed on Facebook that they have fulfilled all orders for CoA. Their website still shows it as "backordered". However, we do have proof that hard copies exist. One of the photos from TSR Con shows a copy on a table. And at least one person bought a copy, had it signed by Ernie, and did a review on Youtube. That person is Jason Schattner, aka Wolfphototech, who runs the channels "TableTop Gaming with Wolfphototech" and "Wolfphototech Interactive Entertainment". We also know from FB that he has applied for a job at the DHSM, has been in direct contact with LaNasa, and started making the rounds on some Star Frontiers pages. His video can be found here: [SPOILER="Hiding video"][MEDIA=youtube]9cvoKU9MMf8[/MEDIA][/SPOILER] He doesn't go into very much detail or useful information about the module. But he does show some video paging through it. From what I can see all the artwork is identical to the PDF, and in one shot I can verify that the inexplicable "Cover Art by: Madre Shipton" note is still on the back. Jason claims in this video to have dyslexia and Asperger's (his word, not mine). So, I don't want to harp on this too much, but he doesn't get the name of the module right.

To me, it feels like a lot of whataboutism, and hardly justifies the scale of the errors in a 17 page book or the misuse of artwork. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
