Hi Tim!
Do you have any more information on The Complete The Oracle, The Habititition of the Stone Giant Lord, and Everything is Dolphins? I'd love to know about the other three books in your combo pack!
Best,

Thanks Tim! Your other projects look great, but I decided to order a hardcover copy on its own. Best of luck with the rest of the stock!

Just ordered this as a present, (and one for myself).  Looks amazing, can’t wait to get my hands on it.

Hello timhutchings, just to confirm, if i paid for the physical book, put in $120 ($80 + $40) and entered a European address in the info, you'll automatically send 2 physical copies once the warehouse issues clear up?

Yes.

(1 edit) (+2)

I am so excited to get my copy of this. Ha I messed up when entering my address so it appears I am in the queue! The 13th is my birthday too so it will be my self present!

For those confused - when you purchase the physical copy the receipt that is emailed to you will have a link to your digital PDF - Go to your digital Item and you will see the box you selected with the same info as above. At the bottom you will see a link to enter your address info. Its easy to miss this site caters more to the digital purchases.  

Oh, that's helpful!  It didn't look like that back when I figured this out.

Hi! I bought the physical copy about a week ago, and I still haven’t received a shipping confirmation. Can you please verify that my book is coming? 

(+3)

Same here. How can I get a confirmation? Thanks!

If you ordered/updated your address after June 25 then you are most likely caught in the warehouse delay and won't see shipping info until after July 13.  

Once we're sold out, prob tomorrow, I'll send out a bulk email to anyone who doesn't have their address entered properly.

Can't wait to get my physical copy, but in the mean time I've been enjoying myself using the PDF.

I did have a question though:
If diaries are Resources (which means they can be lost) and there are effects that let you recover resources, can you recover a diary? If so, what happens if you have an active diary at the time? Or can you just not make that choice? I'm guessing that you just can't, but I'd appreciate some insight into the intent.

Also, thank you for making me find a way to murder someone via meditation. You know how it goes; you space out for a hundred years, everyone you know dies, and suddenly you have that unquenchable hunger and your only skills are Fishing, Meditating, and Law.

I was wondering this, too.  I also had a question about prompt 17: "Check a violent Skill or appropriate Resource" - what does it mean to "check a resource"? Strike it out?

I think that was supposed to be "check a skill" or "lose a resource."

I did find a similar typo on #34: "Lose a precious Memory or a destroy Resource." ("Destroy" and "a" should be in the other order). I'd also suggest altering the wording so that "precious" applies to the resource as well.

Thank you for error-catching!  I appreciate it!

I think it's very reasonable to have two Diaries at once under those conditions. 

Being forced to use Skills and Resources in surprising or unwanted ways is one of my secret delights in this game.  

Thanks! It never ended up being a problem I had to deal with (never lost the only diary I made) but it was niggling in the back of my mind as a what-if.

There's a lot of fine detail in this that I absolutely love (just discovered that the back cover--at least in the PDF--has been torn off revealing page 153).

My first run ended earlier today (er, yesterday, its after midnight) and my character's final regret was that he didn't have the books he owned since childhood to keep him company for the interminable eons (prompt 65 saw to that, you have no idea how painful that was). On the flip side, prompt 52 also ended up being *absolutely perfect* for him as well as he saw himself as a guardian of nature.

I just bought the physical deluxe copy. I paid $ 50 and thought that the shipping cost (Netherlands) would be automaticaly recalculated. Instead I was notified that I "tipped" you for $ 40 ?! Please let me know how to make up for the shipping cost and confirm that I will actually receive the physical copy (<>POD-version). Thanks!

So:  When you buy on itch anything above the minimum is considered a tip.  Your minimum should've been 50 but I'm not always sure what things look like from the buyer side.  

Itch can't do shipping calculations so you need to add the shipping in.  It's like it's 00s and we're buying from a comic shop's homemade website.  

I'll send you an email with the shipping total and payment method.

Sorry!

Hi Tim, Thanks for your reply! No problem, I understand. When I get your email I'll make the additional payment for the shipping. The PDF looks great; the physical copy must be awesome!

I've bought it just now  and haven't received any confirmation email. I paid $80 to get the US version to EU. When should I get any notification and how long until I get the book?

(+1)

There is a warehouse delay until after July 13th.  I'll be sending out another email about it soon.

Couldn't follow your instructions here, unfortunately. Had to reply to your e-mail. Sorry.

Hi, just wanted to confirm that my order was received too.

Cheers!

There is a warehouse delay until after July 13th.  I'll be sending out another email about it soon.

If there is a problem with your order I'll be emailing you from dearleadergame@gmail.com.

I recently bought a physical copy of the game, but I understand you are facing some warehousing issues...Itch.io's interface is a bit strange, so I just wanted to confirm my address information was received. 

Thanks in advance!

Hello, I ordered a physical copy last week but have not received a confirmation email. I just wanted to confirm that my order and info was received. 
Thanks!

If there is a problem with your order I'll be emailing you from dearleadergame@gmail.com.

Hi Tim: Sorry to bother, as I am sure there is a lot going on right now - I also purchased a physical copy, but was unable to enter a shipping address. I tried clicking on the link you provided in the comment below to twallach but it just brings me back to this same page, and I can't seem to find a place to enter my address info. Any further clarification you can provide would be appreciated. Thank you. 

Follow up: I had sent it as a gift, and I managed to update the address by having the recipient email me their confirmation email for the pdf. Sorry for the confusion.

hi I just bought the $50 version thinking I was buying the actual physical copy, but the order process is very confusing as there is a download link and no indication that the physical copy was the version purchased. Can you confirm whether it was in fact the physical copy and that it will ship and is not just a download? Thanks!

If you paid $50 you're getting a physical book, fear not!  I'll check on things in a little bit.

grassyass!

This happened to me too. Is there any way to have a confirmation of the purchase of the physical copy? Also the shipping address is in Portugal so I think I have to pay extra for the shipping, since I only paid 50$ +11,50$VAT. Could you confirm that?

Is it still possible to buy the book even with the warehouse issue ?
I'm trying to buy it for EU, tipping 80$, but it keep adding 10$ more, and I don't know why

(+1)

You'll get the book if you buy it, it's just going to ship later.  How much later?  That's what I don't know yet.

I bought two copies a couple of days ago but haven't seen any email from Blackbox. Any idea whether it went through or when I could expect my delivery?

I'm betting your order didn't make the cut before the fulfillment company decided to move my stuff to another warehouse.  I'll be sending out an email to everyone affected as soon as I figure out what's going on.

GAME MAKER ANNOUNCEMENT:

So the warehouse today set about the process of moving all my stuff to another warehouse.  I don't know how long this will delay orders but I'll email you all as soon as I find out.  

I wish I could pin this post.

Thanks for keeping us updated.

Do you happen to know the order dates that this warehouse change affected? I ordered a US version on Friday (June 26) and have not yet received a shipping  email.

(+1)

Good question!  Your Friday order was probably affected because they didn't process the batch I sent on Monday.  

I'm going to send an email out to all affected orders once I have a delay estimate from the warehouse.

Hola! i just bought a print version of the book for $50, but it never asked me for a shipping address, and the confirmation email only references the downloadable version. What'd I miss?

What you didn't miss is itch.io being bad at handling physical object sales.  

 Go to here and click "Download" then scroll down and "Provide Information" or "Update Information" and put in your address.  If that doesn't work you can email me the address here, but that'll slow things down a bit.

I see that the shipping charges to Canada have changed. (Which is fine!) Um, how do I correct it and will I receive confirmation that it has been sent?

Can't want to play! (waiting for the book eagerly -- I love the look of it!!) :)

If you ordered before the shipping charges changed then you're fine.  Don't worry about it.  

Thank you! <3 

I've been playing this most nights before bed, it is absolutely enchanting! I think it's ingenious how the rules work to create the exact story themes that define the feel of the game, while still being tense and engaging, and still offering players enough narrative freedom to express themselves. I absolutely cannot wait for my physical copy, and you sir have turned me onto solo/journaling RPGs for life!

I recommend Princess With a Cursed Sword and then Magizoology next!

Hi,

I am afraid I made a mistake. I ordered the book, but am from Europe, and didn't write anything other than 51 dollars in the box. The total came out at 62 dollars, but thats not enough. 

Is there any way we can reverse the payment, or I pay you the remaining money for express shipment to EU? Like, purchasing the PDF version for the remaining money?

Thanks!

Flemming 

I'll email you!

Hi,

I realize you are busy, but just in case I missed something - I haven't heard anything yet from you.

Best regards!


/Flemming

Watch for an email tomorrow, I think.  

Hi,

As per request, I updated my adress information again. I still haven't heard anything regarding the missing money I need to pay you :-)

I am sorry if this is me being impatient, but I am not a thousand year old vampire with that kind of patience ;-)

I'll send it tomorrow.  Thank you for checking in!

Hi Tim,

I still haven't heard anything?

Best regards

/Flemming

I haven't sent anything out yet to anyone.  I've been sick enough since Friday that I'm not trusting myself to manage excel documents.  I'm sorry.  I'll do it soon.  It won't slow down your book at all.  

Oh, I am not worried about slowdowns - I just want you to have the money you should for the book and the shipping! Get well ! :-)

hi, ordered the physical copy of 1000 Year Old Vampire yesterday, I noticed the postage rates went up since then and I wondered if that is something I need to correct in my payment.

You should be good.  Don't worry about it.

Heya, bought the hardcover several days ago but haven’t had a confirmation... everything go through all right?

Watch for an email from Blackbox tomorrow!

Still haven't received anything from Blackbox, or anyone else... the order says "Fulfilled" but I've received no confirmation... help?

hey Tim! Just bought your book on the 28th. Wanted to see if you had a prospective date for shipment? I know we’re all curious and I’m sure a comment in when they’re going out will help you fro getting flooded with “where are my book” questions. Thanks brother! Excited for your book to arrive.

Watch for an email from blackbox, probs tomorrow.

Hello Tim, there is a "Get for $50" option for the Print copy of the book, is this still the same gold foiled version and does that price apply to International shipping to Asia to or am I stuck with paying $80?

The $50 is the basic cost of the book, with shipping, in the US.  Folks outside the US pay the total in the shipping area below so if you're in Australia you need to pay $80USD.  I've switched prices to the Fedex-from-the-warehouse price because I'm too swamped to ship through the post office by hand.  Shipping is -awful- and I'm sorry.

If you contact me directly Friday or later I can offer you a cheaper postal rate.  It'll be $68-70.  It's possible that I'll be sold out of books by then but unlikely.

The DTRPG option to Australia should cost $40-45USD but it does not have the foil and fanciness.  Also, it'll never sell out.

Hi Tim,

I'm still waiting to hear back on confirmation regarding my order from etiher email or comments here.

Edit: I have emailed you as requested and also replied to your comment but not heard any response back. The speed that this is evolving has me very concerned.

(+1)

I figured it out and emailed you!

For others who might see this:  When two emails are attached to your account things can get sticky.  Also, if I don't respond in a day please email me again.  

Thanks so much for getting back to me. Congratulations on the award! I can't wait to start playing. Ordinarily I'd not be so anxious about hearing back but this book is flying off the shelves, metaphorically.

People!  Thousand Year Old Vampire has been nominated for THREE ENNIE AWARDS!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Thank you!

Well deserved, well done!

Hi Tim,  sorry to post here, but on Friday I purchased a print copy of TYoV but inadvertently entered my email incorrectly.  As such I haven't received a confirmation email.  Besides correcting my email address in my account settings, what else can I do?

ah!  email me at dearleadergame@gmail.com.  include old and new emails.

Hey Tim, I ordered your masterpiece a few days ago and I was wondering if there would be any kind of confirmation of shipping or something similar, since I only got the PDF and no additional email. Thanks for your help.

Watch for an email from blackbox!

Hello Tim, I was wondering if you have the shipping information for the order I made, or if fed ex itself will send the information. The page says it’s been fulfilled and I am just looking for tracking info. Thanks in advance.

I saw the same thing and had the same question. Thanks!

Watch for an email from blackbox!

thanks for the reply!

If I lived in the US I'd order a physical copy but just the PDF for me for now :) Great concept, love the mechanics and can't wait to get started on this lazy Sunday. Great work.

Overseas shipping is awful.  You can order a slightly less glorious PDF version here:  https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/306279/Thousand-Year-Old-Vampire  Cheap UK shipping worldwide.

Hi Tim,

I ordered a physical copy and just want to make sure I did everything correctly, as the only confirmation email I receive was a link to a downloadable pdf.

Thanks in advance !

Watch for an email!

Is there a difference between this physical copy and the one on drivethrurpg?

the "fanciness" ...the one on DTRPG doesn't have the foil emboss. I think the content of the "game" is all the same.

Hi there!

Awesome work :)

How much is it to post the fancy version to Brazil?

(+1)

Game maker here:  Thank you all again for the support!  The game is going to sell out in a couple of days which is the way the system is supposed to work but it's still a bother.  When it sells out I'll still have copies but it'll be days before I know how many I actually have to dole out.

I'm setting up another print run.  This second run will have some errors corrected but will, for all practical purposes, be the same as the first.  I think the second print run will just have one ribbon.

I'll have a pre-order option here on itch for the second run, I think, and will have a small handful of first run copies that I'll sell at a greedy markup.  Folks can also get a POD copy at DTRPG.  

(1 edit)

I hope you'll be able to ship the full copy I ordered. Given the speed at which everything is going I'm concerned from the lack of confirmation of my order.

Apologies for adding once more to the bombardment but another query: 

We keep getting ‘mismatched token’ when my partner tries to add his address in the link. I’ve looked at  cache and multiple browsers as other people seem to have that problem but to no avail.

Will it go to my address that I supplied before (we share address) or is it waiting for him to supply one?  Just checking because ridiculously bloodthirsty! 

ALSO.... will it be possible to be a fucking butterfly?? We would really like to...

Oh, that's a weird error and beyond my competency.  Contact support@itch.io

Email me at dearleadergame@gmail.com and give me the email you used for the purchase and the address you want to send the book to.  And I'll sell you a copy of You're a Fucking Butterfly for $5-15USD, whatever you want to pay--I'll give you a paypal address.

Here's a PDF of it to look at https://www.dropbox.com/s/dkxdpw7clxfi1co/ButterflyLayout_5_2paginated.pdf?dl=0

Game looks amazing. Wanted to purchase 2 copies. Read in comments there was a buy one get 2nd for $31. Is that a thing and if it is how do I make it happen?

Under "Buy the print copy..." press the red "Get for $46" button.  In the paybox type in 83USD ($46 for one book + $37 for the second).  This assumes US shipping.  Email me at dearleadergame@gmail.com if you need help with it.

(1 edit)

Possible to get a digital version that isn't spreads, but single page view (like the cover)?

Want to have single-page on one half of the screen, and my editor on the other.

Cheers!

Yes, I'll have this on the site in a couple of weeks.  Nudge me soon.

Hey! I just bought the game with the Canada shipping fee included but I just wanted to make sure that I didn't mess anything up?

Looks fine!  You'll prob get a shipping email from blackbox on Monday.

Sounds good, I heard about the warehouse issues and I don't really mind, but it seems you've upped the price of the game a tiny bit since I paid for it. Do I need to give you the missing 4$ in some way?

i dunno if this is a weird request, but i ordered three copies of thousand year old vampire. the book looks amazing!!! i can't wait to delight in all its details, and i am so excited to play it with my group. i would love it if you could sign all three books. is that weird? i hope not. i think these books are absolute treasures.

It's not weird at all!  I don't mind (because you bought so many books) but that adds to the shipping expense of the books because I have to send them from the warehouse to my home, sign 'em, then reship them.  My other big concern is logistics--I'm just buried in work right now and I don't want to mess up.  Email me at dearleadergame@gmail.com.

yes, the obvious solution is that i need to order one more book before they all sell out and have that shipped to me directly, while you take your time to sign the other three. to the future purchasers who may accuse me of hoarding these books, i plan to give some of them away.
