Will do. I'm hosting a lot of games at GameHoleCon and will tell all the folks to buy it.

I love the maps! If SJ Games released more maps and cardboard heroes that could be used in any Fantasy Role Playing game, I think there is a big market for that.
This was mentioned in the new Create Space pod reprints. The smaller books, like Companion and How to be a GURPS GM, are too narrow for the Create Space printers.

Got mine today. They are gorgeous. I like the extra space in the box to fit in notebooks, tablet, and pencils, everything you need to run a game should fit in the box. The only minuscule nit that I would pick is that How to be a GURPS GM is too tall to fit in the box.

Mine decided to arrive today instead of waiting until Monday, a nice surprise. I've briefly looked over the contents and everything looks nice. The outside box had a pretty good ding in it, but it didn't harm the game box or any other contents. Now I'm off to my mother's birthday party... the sacrifices we make for loved ones :-)

Not until we receive the games in Austin, and not until we ship to distributors and retailers. Dungeon Fantasy was broken into three different containers, and the copies for Warehouse 23 were slightly delayed by storms.

Ah, I missed that (or had forgotten). Thanks for mentioning it!

Hmmm...maybe it's time to go all old-school and either have a custom rubber stamp made (extravagant, I know) or get some of those scratch-off letters.

Cheaper and probably easier might be adhesive printer paper. Type out the spine title you want (color, font, whatever), print it, cut it, peel the backing, stick on the book, done.

Might take a few tries to get the width exact, otherwise should only take a few minutes.

That's a good idea! I wonder if I could find some adhesive printer paper that was strongly adhesive, these days. It's been years since I bought any. Maybe it's better than back when I bought sheets of adhesive Avery labels for 3.5" floppies. :)

(Hmm...maybe clear would be best, given my terrible record with color-matching.)
