The Immortals Handbook

[Upper_Krust]

Hey all!

How's the progress?

Pretty good, some of the art peices are trickier than others and I still need to write up the dragon examples. Those are the two major hurdles at the moment. Most of the entries also need some work, although generally minor things, or stuff I already have finished and just need typed up.

Were you serious about having it "next week" (that is, by the 8th), or when should we expect it?

It'll be available before next Monday. So probably Saturday or Sunday (knowing me) are the most likely days.

What will be the logistics of purchasing it -- will you have something on your site or use another provider (RPGNow)?

Given that this is a limited release preview I don't want to use rpgnow or similar providers until I get the full bestiary completed.

At this stage I am hoping people can just paypal me the money and then I could email them the pdf. Obviously some automated process would be best (otherwise you would have to wait until my waking hours) but at this point I don't really know enough about such things and I don't want to have to go away and spend a day researching it (even though I am sure its very simple...if you know how).

I will email my website providers tonight and ask them how I can do something like that.

If anyone here has any advice on the matter, by all means let me know.

What payment methods are possible?

Paypal would be preferred at this stage. I'm not totally sure if you need a paypal account to transfer money into another paypal account but I suspect you do...?

I'll check Paypals customer service later today.

If thats not going to be convenient for some people then I might be able to make other arrangements.

It's inconvenient, but not too inconvenient. I refuse to deal with them now (they've been a hassle in the past), but I think I have a friend with an account and I'll just give him cash to buy it for me.

Actually, I should check on that now... I hope he still has his account.

I hope there's a way to use them without needing an account with them, since I personally dislike Paypal and prefer not to use it.

I'm bumping this up because I need it on the front page for my sanity. Not knowing where this thread is hurts me inside.

So... tommorow or the day after tommorow... 0.5 of the Bestiary. Finally, we'll get to see some of your hard work!

Hiya mate!

Hey Fieari mate!

So... tommorow or the day after tommorow... 0.5 of the Bestiary. Finally, we'll get to see some of your hard work!

...well, actually it might take a day or two more.

I'll likely get someone to proof read it before I release it, so that might take a day, also if truth be told neither the writing nor the art is completely finished at this point in time, thats going to need at least 48 hours.

Things are moving on at pace, although I have recently realised I'm going to have to finish at least a dozen new epic spells in the book and about half a dozen epic magic items (which of course I wouldn't have needed to explain if I'd released the Grimoire first.

So I can only apologise once again for my continued procrastination, its not intentional I assure you. I know many of you must be wondering when things will get done and I just want to say thanks for your continued support and patience.

Yours sincerely,
Craig Cochrane

At the moment I don't feel worthy enough to add my name to that exalted list.

Maybe when I get the Bestiary finished I will be in better spirits.

...by the way I appreciate the sig. Only too happy to help a friend.

Looks like I won't need that industrial-strength Puppy Crippler(tm) after all!

Save it for encouraging him to finish Apotheosis quickly once he has the Beastiary out.

Worst case scenario, I can always use it to pick flowers.
