Seriously, it's available now from my Lulu store. So, if you like crazy goblins and sweet lovin' on the corner of Full Moon Drive and Blade-Edge Avenue, get you a copy. And you can get it in perfect or spiral-bound! Crazy.

Clinton,

I know this might be a sore subject for you at the moment, but has there been any word on the remainder of your hardcover copies?  Do you think they'll be available for order at some point in the future, or ever?

Thanks.

Between RapidPOD's madness and then the utter destruction of my home, I'm going to go ahead and guess that nope, no hardcovers. My apologies.

Hey Clinton,

Just bought it, lookin' good. I can't wait.

PS. I'm looking forward to the official release of City of Brass, but deal with your own stuff first.

Completely understandable and expected, but one can always hope.  In any case, expect an order for one of those perfect-bound beauties in a couple of days.

Thanks!

I added a Shadow of yesterday banner to the Flames Rising website linking to your Lulu.com page. I also posted a press release about the game in the Flames Rising news feed and sent it to GamingReport and Silven.

Matt,

Thanks! In the aftermath of the hurricane, that's actually one of the nicest things you could do for me. I've got food and water and money and stuff, but no time and no bandwidth. I really appreciate you doing that.

Clinton-

Sorry to hear about life at the moment. My condolences.

I'd always meant to buy TSoY since last spring when I ran a oneshot of it, and now that I have money I headed straight to the site only to find... er... that there's a new edition and all, sometimes referred to as TSoY-Fudge in some threads (and the Solar System?). With a different cover (West?). And the old one doesn't seem to be on sale anymore. So... I've been trying to figure out what all the differences are, but it doesn't seem like there's a list of them.

I see in some other threads some stuff about rules. So fudge dice, more levels to cut through in BDTP and some nice changes to skills. Is that the full sum of it? Only change to the art is a different cover?

PS: I appreciate the coil-bound alternative.

The basics:

- Smoother, cleaner BDTP.
- Re-organized book to make more sense and be easier to use in play.
- Moved to Fudge dice, which isn't as big of a change as it sounds. Basically, moved everything off of a lookup table to the final values.
- New cover.
- New layout, much easier on the eyes.
- More GMing and playing advice.
- A few minor changes to skills and a few new secrets and keys.

Will the revised edition become available under the CC-license, like the first edition? I have already bought the first book, and having TSOY twice seems a bit too much of a good thing, but I'd like to see and perhaps use the changes.

Your Lulu store page shows only Donjon.  TSoY doesn't appear to be there.

I removed it from my Lulu store temporarily after one customer reported a problem with his printing. When I discover why this problem occurred, it'll be back up and I'll announce it here.

I had an order for the book in FULFILLING status when you took the book down.  Any idea where I stand at the moment? Will I be getting the book, wait on permahold until you get things squared with the printer, or do I need to ask for my money back?

I think I'm in the same boat as Clay.

Thanks, Clinton. I'll make sure to buy a copy when you get it back up on Lulu.
