Here's the place!

Un-Store Adept Press page. The buy buttons take you straight to Paypal. You have to purchase them one at a time (no cart), but orders made together, or close to together, will be sent as a single package.

The titles
Sorcerer, Sorcerer & Sword, The Sorcerer's Soul, Sex & Sorcery
Elfs
Trollbabe
It Was a Mutual Decision
S/Lay w/Me
Spione

The old PDF for Trollbabe is mechanically available until I manage to dismantle the webpage, but please don't buy it. I will reject the payment if Paypal lets me do that. That PDF is officially discontinued.

I do want to make PDFs for both games, and probably for It Was a Mutual Decision and Elfs too, but that's kind of a big task because I'd like to do it right and make them all truly usable on-screen documents. I'll look into how I might have that done.

Best, Ron

Are the shipping costs the same for overseas?

Yes, although it means the basic cost of the game jumps up. An occasional overseas customer has offered to chip in a bit more money and I always say yes when that happens.

I've looked into having Arkenstone act as my shipper, sending them stock to work with or having them print from a POD there, but as it turns out, mailing from Finland is pricey as hell and I wouldn't save any money when all is said and done.

So if you're not in the States, just pay the listed price for shipping. Over time, if this results in me losing too much money, I'll change the policy somehow, but for now, I can' t be bothered to calculate shipping with every order. So I'll carry on this way.

Ron, what's the status of this? I ask because I (stupidly?) bought the Trollbabe PDF this moring after reading some Trollbabe threads and realizing that my PDF is dated 8/24/2002 and I thought "say, I'd better update".

And now I'm re-reading this thread and saw the above quote. :-(

Hi Marv,

The good news is that no harm has been done and no information lost. The Trollbabe PDF was never updated or changed in any way, and I've refunded your payment. It's still available at the Bookshelf under your registration there, if that's relevant. I don't plan to remove it until the new PDF is entirely ready.

The not-as-good news is that my website revision is going very slowly, mainly because of my ridiculous life-style, and so all I can do is promise that when it's ready, I'll announce it here. My current thinking is that people who purchased the original PDF may even get the new one for free (!!), with the hope that they'll purchase the book out of sheer delight later.

Best, Ron

Hi Meme,

It should be, but it's not, at present. Someone very kind will have to work with me to produce a decent product, and I don't have the time or expertise to do it myself - or even to organize doing it - at the moment.

Best, Ron
