What are everyones thoughts on Iron Heroes?

This has happened before. The online publishers store often starts selling on the day that they ship, and they ship to make the release date. The electronic version might not go on sale till Monday, though, that's a bit dicier.

I just got my round robin group to agree to a sesssion of IH in August. Now to start putting together a simple scenario.... I know it has to involved a shipwreck, an island, strange plants, agressive apes, and immortal cultists. I mean, it pretty much has to, right?

As a side note, and please forgive me if this is totally gauche, Iron Heroes is now for sale in the White Wolf Online store.

For somewhere around half a C total you can even get it shipped next day mail.

Damn. Gonna have to check it out. Probably just pre-emptively published up the 'release date' version of the page, though...

Eh. Doesn't actually matter. No money till tomorrow anyway

I've already preordered it... and look forward to using it soon.

It was pointed out above, and I'm to tired now to look back an quote them, that the game is balanced towards individual encounters rather then "encounters per day" which I find to be a marked improvement. It allows a bit more flexability.

I'm still unsure about the tokens, though I realize that they are not as key to the game as I first thought. When I first read about them I thought of the Rage points in WoW, and that it would be difficult to deal with. Now I think that those fears were unfounded, and look forward to using this game in the future.

I just hope it gets here soon, by monday would be wonderful... but it'll probably be later.

I thought we were looking at August 1 as the release date.

The Iron Heroes page (http://www.montecook.com/cgi-bin/page.cgi?mpress_IL) lists a release date of July 28th (today) near the top, and August 1st on the side.

I wonder how long it will take to get to Canada?

I wonder how long it will take to get to Canada?

I called a couple of the large gaming stores in the Vancouver area and one is going to have it on Thursday and the other had never heard of it before! Though the latter usually gets their stuff in on Wednesdays. I'll probably check around a little more to see if any of the other shops will get it in earlier but Monday is a holiday so it looks like Wed. at the earliest... :\
