I, too, received a copy I didn't order. It arrived yesterday and it's as lovely as can be. I was planning on getting one anyway, but just hadn't gotten around to ordering it. The Zero and the PDF that I had already ordered were enough to keep me covered until the book showed up at my FLGS. But hey, now I don't have to spend the gas to get there.

After an email exchange with Dustin everything is now copacetic. It seems that (like Lord Twig, I suspect) I was the unintended beneficiary of an utterly unplanned PDF/print copy 2-for-1.

They appear to have that particular ordering system bug squashed now. Sorry, folks

Since they don't seem to want to let me pay for the book, I've promised to buy Dustin a drink or three the next time he's in my neck of the woods.

My copy just arrived at the office. Now I must resist the urge to read it instead of reading up on Photoshop scripting.

I've been trying to lure Dustin back for years now.

Sadly, he was in the final stages of moving from Austin when I first got here.

Well, with your charm and my nearly limitless budget for drinks, surely we can get him to come back to town for one liver-smashing weekend of raw alcoholic debauchery, no?

Failing that, maybe you can convince him to swing through to do some playtesting on Interplanetary. Then, when he least expects it, I can show up with an armload of burritos from Chuy's.

Really, I'm up for anything that will fix my karma on this whole "free book" thing. My guilt has blossomed to nightmarish proportions since Saturday!

Darn it. I must have ordered BEFORE they put in the 2-for-1 deal At least Charlie refunded the SHIPPING that they originally charged me on the pdf.

Still waiting on my FLGS.

No but here is my plan.

I have been waiting for this for a generic update of this game for so long (around 1990 when I discovered both GURPS and HERO) that I immediately ordered the PDF as soon as it was available, I will buy the paperback as soon as I see it at my FLGS and will buy the hardback as soon as it is available.

I'm disappointed to report that my "Contributers Copy" arrived today. Of course the only reason I'm disappointed, is that I'm waiting on some pulp reprints to arrive, and when my wife called and told me the package I was waiting on had arrived, I thought it was them.

I've so far had a only the briefest chance to glance through the PDF copy I bought a couple weeks ago. Now to wait for my FLGS to get the copy I pre-ordered in, and to enshrine my "Advanced Readers" copy.

You know, with 3, soon to be 4 different copies, a person might think I like the book!

Yeah, that's what I'm looking at too. I'd have a copy this week if I'd placed an order directly with Chaosium, but I felt it important to support the local gaming store and hopefully the owner likes it enough to push it to the gaming public. One store owner can reach a lot of people after all.

I almost got the PDF, but work has kept me busy, and I'll be gone most of the 4th of July weekend, so next week works, I guess.
