I can only speak to the durability of the regular cover 2nd printing since
I keep my 1st print and wizard cover copies safely on the shelf. But my
2nd printing "table copy" has seen plenty of abuse and is holding up quite well.

Only one more alternate cover planned at the moment. Probably just one a year, tops. At least, that's what I'm saying now. :) I have to admit I don't mind the idea of seeing my shelf gradually fill with a line of tomes with more of Doug's amazing Appendix N style character portraits all in a row......

Thanks for that Doug! Just ordered my Wizard cover.

My gods the sheer awe-dripping coolness of it all...

Can anyone who has all 3 covers take a pic of the spines all lined up on a shelf?

Christmas 1978 I was 12 and a good friend and I both asked for and got the Holmes blue box D&D set. Weekends at the dining room table became the center of our lives. So many adventures. A few years later I had the 1st Ed hardcovers and I literally had those books memorized from endlessly fiendin...

I vote yes for Kickstarter - it's a no-lose proposition, right? We at least get the shirt design as
it exists now plus if enough people jump in we stand to maybe get another design and/or lower
price as well, correct? I mean, why would anyone who wants a shirt be against that?

Gotta throw my tentacle in the air in support of E for maximum weird n freaky style.

>But the spine is different...and very cool.

Came here just now to ask about the spine art.

I have the first printing but would like one with the index.

SOLD.

Joseph's response to all of this discussion is honest and to-the-point. We all know that shipping damage happens. I thought that the packaging could have been better and that Media Mail left the boxes in the loving care of the postal service for too many days which means more days for fragile books ...

Wow. My book arrived in good shape but looking at this thread I think it's reasonable to say that 'media mail' shipping plus the way these books were boxed pretty well sucked. Lots of books were banged up. I think we'd all have paid a couple dollars more for shipping in a box that actually protected...

In a couple of weeks we'll have a good look at D&DN for free. I keep thinking that turning away from the OGL model was WotC's real mis-step. Giving people a more progressive and open system and then saying "nope, sorry, we take that back" is pretty self-defeating. Going backward doesn'...

praise Bobugbubilz if your eldritch tome manifested unscathed

I think I had a Hollow World box set back in the day, does that sound
right? One of various settings I bought because I liked the concept
but never played. Would work really well with DCC RPG I think.

Sorry if I missed the info in earlier posts but is this going to be a hardcover book,
a PDF only or what format? Thanks, looking forward to it, looks promising!

I think there is some potential for a crossover between DCC RPG and the 'Beginner Box'
version of Pathfinder RPG, which is a stripped-down 'rules-lite' version of Pathfinder/3.5
d20 engine without most of the fiddly 3.5 stuff for movement/combat/character build etc.

I was worried when I saw the type of box the book came in because in my own experience the USPS is awfully good at banging box corners and bending up books inside. Luckily my copy was fine but yeah, you should give customer service the opportunity to make it right before getting TOO upset, these thi...

....and after all the waiting and watching for the mail-person like an excited kid the Tome is delivered on my birthday! Perfect. My dark sacrifices were approved by the Court of Chaos after all... The book is absolutely stunning, massive and well-built. LOVE the paper quality, really does all of th...

I really appreciate what Paizo have accomplished with Pathfinder but I also want to play a weird & wonderful old-school/Appendix N RPG and for that only DCC will scratch that itch. Goodman Games and Paizo are very different companies but they are both doing a great job of playing to their own st...

Do they not make the 12-die GS sets in opaque?
The precision dice in simple opaque colors
look like the dice that came with my Holmes box set in 1978.

I already tried that...I'm in Ohio, didn't work.

I'm a fan of your blog btw. Bookmarked.

Can anybody who has recv'd their prize please post some impressions and/or images
for those of us still writhing in the agonies of anticipation?

I have decided that the wait for the DCC RPG book to appear is
part of a clever spell to make me young again...as I wait as eagerly
for the mail-person each day as I did when I was a child waiting
for my box of Sea Monkeys or some such thing I'd "sent away" for.

I'm thinking of running a game of Call Of Cthulhu where the PCs enter the Dreamlands and then wander into a Lankhmar/Appendix N world and become 0-level DCC RPG characters, and have some thematic link or continuous quest across the 3 settings. Maybe the PCs would be investigating the mysterious disa...

Judge's screen I'd vote for portrait but 4-panel and super high quality/thick

Hmm, would love to see a Spell Grimoire book, a monster book (Cthulhu mythos please)
and a Judge's Book with more gods/demons/patrons and magic items and lots of
random weirdness tables.

This is what I was afraid of - you bastards. Take more of my money.
