Naw, it still says:



Guess we'll just keep waiting.....

i feel bad for everyone who is waiting.

all that excitement for the book is wasted as you wait for amazon to sort through their own internal bureaucracy.

best of luck

Wierd happenings in our second WLD session.

For the first 10 minutes we played, I (DM) thought that the whole campaign was going to blow up. After describing several empty rooms and running a few fights, I was afraid that this whole 'super-mega-dungeon-hack' thing was going to be a very boring monotonous experience for my players. I think I was actually sweating. (could have been the curry).

At the end of the night, the whole group said that they were completely engrossed and having a really good gaming experience. I think it took a little time for them to adjust to a dungeon crawl, but when they did they even role-played their characters like I've never seen them do before.

I just noticed that WLD just went back to $67 at Amazon...

WLD at Gencon (UK)

Any idea if the product is getting anything beyond a Retail presence at the upcoming UK Gencon in October?

Well, don't feel too bad for my group. We're not wasting any excitement!

Our DM just borrowed WLD from someone who bought it retail. We've had three sessions--lasting 7 hours, 6 hours, and 8 hours--in one week! We're doing great. We've almost cleared the first map (80% done, the DM says), and we've actually uncovered some interesting plot/backstory regarding the dungeon.

Someday, amazon will ship my copy, which we will then hand over to our friend who lent us his "retail" copy. Everybody wins!

And for me, my group is currently involved in another adventure (and we have difficulty getting together during football season anyway), so there's really no rush. I'll probably run it for them next year at some point.

Also, my real plan is to have my kids go though it in a few years (they are ages 2 and 1 now so I have a little time ). In fact, I just might be able to actually read the whole thing through before I DM it for them.

(Oh, and Barendd - congrats on being post #666 - always a special post number in a D&D thread... )

Thanks, DaveMage. Given my title, it's kind of appropriate!

Where is the best place to buy this book?

Speaking of Amazon...

Does anyone have any recommendations for the best deal (online or otherwise) to obtain a copy of this marvelous adventure. We're interested in value (cheapest price) and speed of delivery.

On one end, I could walk into my FLGS today and walk out $100 poorer (but infinitely richer with book in hand). On the other, I could send $68 + shipping to Amazon and wait 2 or 3 gruelling months for satisfaction.

Does anyone know if there are better deals out there? Maybe an online store selling at more than 35% off cover price and shipping within the week?

Much appreciated!
