Yes! Great news, and thanks for the heads up.

Will we be able to download the pdf with a preorder around the same time? I can't listen to those who made it to Origins brag about having a copy while I go without 

If not, I need to start making plans to possibly attend Origins - heck, I've been wanting to go anyway.

Absolutely.  Evil Hat believes the best choice between a print and a PDF version of a product is BOTH.

Woot!! Woot!!

Yay.  Thank you Iago!

This is excellent and delicious news.

[The GIT!]

This is definitely some of the best news I've heard in the RPG industry for some time. I love the idea of pre-ordering and getting the pdf right away; great marketing idea.

So who else is already planning their trip?    Lucky for me it's only about 6-7 hour drive.

Since I'm on the other side of the pond, I'm rather hoping that the same offer will be available online through the Indie Press website.

Should be, though maybe a couple weeks after Origins.

[Valarian]

Many thanks. I can wait another couple of weeks
Here's hoping the final editing and layout process goes smoothly.

So, where would we be able to pre-order such a thing? And is there any way to set it up at the store right now? or relatively soon, so that we can pre-order? cause, you know, if I'm going to have my money already spoken for... I would like it just gone... so I know its already paid for and I don't have to worry.

[iago]

We're not ready to do the preorder. We want to deliver folks the PDF right away when they place their preorders, and the PDF part at least won't be ready for a few more months yet (I just started on the layout at the beginning of the year). 

We'll likely offer the preorder first at the Evil Hat webstore: http://www.evilhat.com/store/

And eventually at IPR: http://www.indiepressrevolution.com/

That makes sense. Ok, thanks.

do you know when you might put up samples? like, sample chapters, except not chapters, more like pages.

Nope. I'd bet we'll start before April, but if not by April, then April.
