I received a copy of BRP from Chaosium.

This is extra surprising considering I didn't order one from them. I had an order pending with Amazon for a while now. I checked my account at Chaosium and I see no record of ordering the book either. I haven't checked to see if my credit card was charged.

I sent mail to Dustin to see if we can get it straitened out. I will probably keep the book, not sure what they want to do about payment. On the one hand I don't mind paying for it since I was ordering one anyway. On the other hand they shipped my something I didn't ask them for and asking me to pay for it seems wrong. On the other other hand I wouldn't feel right keeping something I didn't pay for. (What? You don't have three hands?)

Anyway, we will see what Dustin says.

By any chance did anyone else get a book they didn't expect?

Were you perchance in the playtest?

Dustin collected addresses from playtesters with the plan of sending comp copies.

I was not in the playtest, but I did buy the Advanced Reader's Copy and the PDF.

I heard back from Dustin and it was sent to me by mistake, but it has been sorted out very satisfactorily.

So, keeping quiet and hoping they don't notice wasn't an option? It would have been my first choice

Unfortunately, no - I did not even get the one I am expecting. For some
unfathomable reason it seems easier to send a copy of the new BRP to
Australia than to my FLGS here in Germany.

Don't feel so bad... I haven't gotten a copy yet, either.

I would think yours would be the first one to be shipped out

Perhaps they think that Jason should know the content already well enough,
and would be happy not to have to see it for a while ?
