Hello,
The books are printed, shipped, and actually present at the Tundra warehouse!
Which means that as soon as they're off to the distributors, the on-line sales begin. The theory is that we open the internet sales at the same time that the retailers can legitimately get the books.
Best,
Ron
Whoohoo! This is great news Ron. As soon as I get the cash together I'll be ordering this and Sorecerer's Soul, which I will clearly need given how much Sorcerer whet my appetite for more info on using Humanity.
Cheers,
Eric
Congratulations, Ron. I'll fish out my credit card and try to keep my palms from sweating overmuch while I wait.
Best,
Blake
Sweet !
Hey, my credit card was ready by January... got to clean all the dust that's on it ! ;)
Nice job, you succesfull publisher !
Hope to read your prose real soon.
Fabrice.
Hiya,
Here's my plan. The direct buy-button appears on Tuesday, May 27, following Memorial Day weekend.
Fulfilment (putting the books into the mail) begins a week from Monday, which will be June 2.
Best,
Ron
Will there be a copy at Demon Con to drool over?
Hi Ralph,
Don't know. The printer sent me some copies early this week, but who knows whether they'll be in the mailbox by the end of today. If so, then yeah, you'll see'em.
Best,
Ron
What colour is the cover? I'm hoping for green.
Yes, probably not the deepest of questions but its been bugging me ever since Sex And Sorcery was first mentioned.
Thomas,
You can see the cover at:

Cool. Can't wait to click the "buy" button for this.
Hi everyone,
The Buy Button is active.
Head over to the Sorcerer Product Page (http://www.sorcerer-rpg.com/product-listing.php) if that seems all right to you.
Don't forget!
1. You're welcome to buy from your local retailer instead of using the direct sale.
2. The books will not leave the warehouse until Monday, June 3.
Best,
Ron
Hello,
Done...
Waitin' little yellow book now...
::smile::
Take care,
Fabrice.
Hi there,
So, I'm holding my actual personal copy of Sex & Sorcery in my hands about right now.
Prettttty ...
In terms of the text's content, though, as usual, I have no particular "feeling" when I do this. The words are still too close to my brain, so they just look familiar and old hat even though they're all bound and spiffy looking. I get so sick of a set of prose as it goes through the final-edits and layout stages that it's not very exciting to see the product.
If the other books provide a valid precedent, though, in a few months or a year, I'll pick this one up and read it, and say, "Hey, this isn't bad."
Best,
Ron
Man, I get heller excited when it comes time to publish something. I get giddy about it, even if it's something tiny like a mini-comic.
But I totally agree with you about being "too close" to the product to get excited about actually reading it... again. If it's any consolation I often pick up Sorcerer, Sorcerer's Soul, Sorcerer and Sword, and Trollbabe and say "Man, this is good stuff!"
(yeah, I printed a hardcopy of TB, so I can honestly say "pick it up" and mean it. heh.)
Now to order the new book...
I would say the best knock-off (and probably completely infringing) ad would go something like this: "Little. Yellow. Different." With a big-ass picture of the yellow cover of "Sex & Sorcery."
It's Here!!!!!
Only glanced through it, but visually this is the best one yet. The graphics and art are darn good. BTW, the character sheet shown there, is that available as a PDF somewhere?
Oh, and I love the weird fonts in the relationship maps.
Some of those picture are, uh ... disturbing.
Well, now I guesss I better go read this thing :)
Yay!
I am very, very happy to read this. All comments are welcome!
Um, those ain't relationship maps, by the way; those are dice diagrams for action-resolution techniques. A forgivable error at first glance.
The character sheets are available at Ben Morgan's site, from this page (http://www.ad1066.com/rpgs/sheets.htm).
Best,
Ron
Yellow? You went with yellow?? What kind of color is yellow for either sex OR sorcery? Black, blue, magenta, purple, green, all good sexy, sorcerous colors. But yellow?
That said, my mouse is hovering over the Buy button in anticipation of Friday's paycheck.
But yellow?

Maybe Ron thinks of I Am Curious Yellow (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0061834) as a Sorcerer story?
Perhaps "yellow" is not the right term. It is a warm, mellow, pleasant, and warming gold.
It also stands out like a bastard on the shelf.
Best,
Ron

Almost as if you planned it that way....
Hey Ron,
It is a warm, mellow, pleasant, and warming gold.The
scan of the cover on the Adept Press website is distinctly puke yellow. And I've been thinking this was a
tour de force of color selection, actually, so very evocative in my mind of bad sex...
Paul
Hey! I just remembered that I don't have to be Ron the Reasonable Forge Moderator in this forum.
It's Yellow! Bright Yellow! Very very Yellow!
So there!
Oh yeah, and Paul, I guess that just means you'll have to buy the book to compare with the scan.
Best,
Ron
I feel much better.
<ROFL>
You GO boy... don't let us heathens talk down to ya. =>
It's not like you won't extract your vengeance for any ill words from our pocketbooks when we buy the horrid yellow tome anyway =P
Although if it's actually gold in person, that's not so bad. As long as the print isn't yellow. Cuz then it would be, y'know, hard to read an' stuff. Cuz it'd be yellow.
Right.
