World's Largest Dungeon?

gencon is coming

less than 72 hours.....

I was wondering if anyone would catch the Umber Hulk reference.

Speaking of which... you COULD have put them in. Apparently it's very easy to get WOTC's permission to use the other monsters... Necromancer Games does it quite often (or maybe it's just easier for them...)

Also, the WLD finally appeared on Amazon, so anyone wanting to get in on the list to order it get on now (link in sig) before I order it. I may even do so tonight, but everyone on the list should send the discount back through the list as well...

After that the book will officially release on August 30.

How Accurate is this date as I have seen reports of other places having conflicting dates.

Alderac Entertainment Group
D20 Supplement
THE WORLD'S LARGEST DUNGEON
SKU#8523
Shipping to Stores starting on August 30

(It will be in stores that week. Contact your store immediately about ordering a copy so you don't miss out!)

August 31 is the earliest you should see it in stores. However, don't forget that it can be purchased from us at Gencon Indy, if you're in attendance.

It's a handy and sizeable book...I've been using it for the following when not running the game here at the offices:

1) pressing money flat
2) paperweight for sunday LA times
3) backup bat for saturday softball
4) terrifying ogre neighbors, who run in fear of it's size
5) putting it on top of cat, to keep him from running outside
6) placed in secondary weapon location under bed next to 2 handed broadsword

The reason I asked is Amazon just added WLD to their site like yesterday with a release date of august 16th (today), even preordered and it supposedly says estimated delivery date of the 18th.

The dates that I have state that August 30 is the correct release date. I'll check with our sales staff and find out any details about amazon.com, but don't be suprised if their dates are incorrect.

Amazon is notorious for having the wrong dates.

 

[Demon Gnome]

Yes, but it's rather stupid to put an item up and then say, "it ships tommorrow". I mean, come on, they must know they don't physically have the books to ship the next day.

as for the rest of our d20 line, there are plenty of good books
that i'm very proud of... mercenaries, magic, monster, feats,
toolbox (ennie winner), adventure (i and ii), and relics.... that
would be quite useful for DMs running this dungeon

I love Toolbox. Thank you for creating such a wonderful DM resource that is worth every penny. There is so much mediocre d20 stuff out there and at first glance I thought Toolbox was just "another book." But when I flipped through it I was astounded...and very frustrated because I wasn't getting paid for another week and I wanted it then and there.

I'm definitely going to take a look at The World's Largest Dungeon. From what I've seen in this thread, it'll probably be worth every penny too.

Thanks.

Then you'll be happy to know that jim, myself and all the other writers that worked on WLD did our damndest to follow in that vein - the WLD is a campaign, it's a modular dungeon, and it's a toolbox. And that's just for starters.
