WotC just mailed out VILLAGE OF HOMMLET 4E..got mine

[JeffB]

So, the one WoTC 'adventure' that I'd even consider buying, I can't?

My thoughts exactly.

Yup.

I tell ya, I'm hard to pi$$ off as a customer- but WOTC sure is doing a great job with the botched GSL at launch, No Virtual game table for DDI, the PDF fiasco and now they put out a 4E product that is an update to an all time classic - that obviously ALOT of people would like to see, and they aren't making it available except to a relative "handful" of people ?

Mine was waiting for me when I arrived home.

Thank you guys!

I'm going to use a lot of my originals fluff to add to this one when I run it. Wonderful.

It's free, and most everyone can easily get sent a copy at WotC's expense.

A handful of people? They´re mailing it ALL OVER THE WORLD for every GM that can be buggered to register FOR FREE. What else do you want - that it comes coated in gold dust?

Has anyone compared this to the RPGA adventure by Mike Mearls "The Return to the Moathouse"? I suspect from comments that they are two different approaches (since the RPGA adventure doesn't touch on Hommlet at all).

The two could be used as a basis for a whole campaign.

I got mine today as well, I live in WA. I was pleasantly surprised

 

[Dykstrav]

So I'd love to get my copy of the adventure but I haven't used my RPGA number in five years. How do I find out what it is?

So, the one WoTC 'adventure' that I'd even consider buying, I can't? (Actually, I don't give a fig about the adventure, I only want the village.)

My thoughts exactly.

Sigh. So, ah, why not sign up for the RPGA and the DM's Rewards Program for FREE!?!?!?! You don't have to buy it!

Or, you could wait until some dubious fellow puts it up on eBay for an outrageous opening bid . . .

Word.

Woot! Just got mine today as well. Keeping it in the shrink wrap though as a collectible.

I'm pretty sure several people in the local area will get theirs as well and I'll just play at their tables

I agree that it sucks for those that want it but wasn't an RPGA member...but if this doesn't get them to sign up now (it's free after all) then they'll only have themselves to blame when the next set of rewards are given out (c'mon White Plume Mountain!).

Oh, and just to make sure people are aware. There are additional rewards for DMing RPGA events. The hommlet adventure was given out just for being a member.

Will VOH be available for purchase otherwise? This is the first WOTC product since the core books that I consider a must-have (and will buy).

Don't know for sure, but it's unlikely. The back cover doesn't have an ISBN number or barcode which is sorta necessary to sell in stores nowadays.
