Want.
Are you telling me I can finally live my dream of sexing a centaur in your game?
Technically, yes.
Can I pre-buy this, I would like to pre-buy this. Please take my money.
I’m pretty stoked for this. Sounds like a good investment 🙂
I wonder if this could be used to run a Wynonna Earp campaign.
When is this coming out??
In May… but stay tuned for some preorderish news a lot sooner. 🙂
What’s the advantage of pre-order instead of just waiting for the release ?
You get access to the PDF immediately.
Hi Fred, if we pre-order from one of your recommended overseas retailers, how do we get hold of the PDF?
PDF has been uploaded to Bits & Mortar. If they’re a participating retailer in that program, they can use it to supply you the PDF.
I noticed a mistake in one of the playbooks on the pdf. Not like a major mistake but who should I tell if anyone wants to know?
*points at the contact us page* feedback@evilhat.com works too 🙂
Will It be available world-wide?
See our “For Retailers” page where we list our international distributors.
Is there a pdf-only option coming?
Hi Peter. Yep, it will be available on 5/13.
Love playing your game and I can’t wait to get the expansion! One question, will there be a paperback released like the first book. I know it’s nit-pickey but I’d like my set to match. No big deal if it’s only hardcover.
It’s softcover. No hardcover release. 🙂
Hi, what’s the best way to participate in this preorder of I live outside the USA? Should I preorder it through my local store? Through one of the international web stores you recommend?
hi i was wondering what the new alternative weird moves were called if you can say that is.
Wake:
Options include: Empath, Illuminated, No Limits, Past Lives, Sensitive, Trust Your Gut, Telekinesis, and Weird Science.
AZ: Best way IMO is to wait for it to get released to distribution in May. You might be able to get a Bits & Mortar participating local-er retailer to order it in advance and provide you the PDF through that system tho.
This book is great! Mainly for the fleshed out mysteries. Great work!
Is there a shipping date on this yet? I’m eagerly awaiting it!
Street date is May 13th. So soon!
Excellent, thank you Sean!
Checking back here for the PDF, is the PDF only version still being released today?
Yes, but I need some time to get it set up. Busy day!
Will the PDF be available if we buy from a local game shop? They said they could order it but that the description didnt mention the PDF although it was the same price. HThanks!
Hi Pierce! This link should answer your question: https://www.evilhat.com/home/pdf-guarantee/
Hi Pierce, yep, all of our prodcuts are backed with the PDF guarantee https://www.evilhat.com/home/pdf-guarantee/. If your game shop is part of Bits and Mortar they can send you the PDF directly. If not, you can request it by emailing a photo of your receipt to feedback at evilhat dot com.
Hi
Just picked up a copy today and enjoyed reading it looking forward to running some of these with my group, just waiting for the PDF to arrive. was just wondering if the extra playbooks will be available as a free download as well.
Will you be making downloadable PDF’s for the new playbooks in this book like you did for the Core Book?
Thanks in advance!
We’re in the middle of sorting that question out. (They’re already part of the zipfile for folks who’ve bought the PDF or book-with-free-PDF.)
How can I buy this from Europe?
1. Find a retailer that is supplied by one of our listed international retailers at https://www.evilhat.com/home/for-retailers/
2. Contact them if they don’t have the product obviously available and ask them to order it.
Got the book – its fabulous! Excellent work by all involved. Quick Q. will the Playbooks be released on the Resources page here eventually? Can’t wait to get a Pararomantic into my game!
anyone know where i can get download of the 4 new playbook in tome of mysteries?
The playbooks are bundled together with the book’s PDF available upon purchase (and bundled free with in-print purchases as well). We’re working on getting confirmation from Generic Games about availability outside of purchase. Remember, if you have the physical book from a source other than us, it probably qualifies for the PDF Guarantee https://www.evilhat.com/home/pdf-guarantee
I keep trying to place a order for a copy, but it keeps telling me I need a source or customer. I’ve looked everything over and can’t figure it out.
That problem sometimes hits folks who’ve got the box checked to use their saved credit card info (we don’t save the info, but Stripe, the payment processor, does; it has something to do with that). Uncheck the box, and re-enter the card info, and the purchase should go through.
Thanks
If I order the tome of mysteries from Amazon am I still eligible to get the PDF for free?
