Has anyone else had a problem...
« on: July 02, 2010, 07:54:39 PM »
with pages coming loose?

I just had pp. 39-42 come free of the binding, following a page turn.

Not even a complete page turn, either.

However, it's not a tragedy - just a minor annoyance (I've had entire books come apart through prolonged usage.) ::)

Not as of yet. Mine seem fairly durable...though admittedly I've been being nice to them due to their sheer shinyness.

If I were you, I'd flag down one of the Evil Hat folk and mention this to them.

I've passed the word to the Chapeau du Mal himself on this. :D

Zoiks! The binding style we paid for on these should be super durable (smyth sewn). If you've got a defective product, you should definitely contact us via our website and ask for a replacement.

Thanks for the information, Fred.

I'll be contacting Evil Hat in a few minutes.

I took a look, and it seems that the pages I mentioned never got sewn - the fold is clean. :o

Message sent to Evil Hat.

I'm not worried about it, though. I've got the books and I'm reading. ;D

Probably a simple mechanical mistake. We'll fix you up. :)

Isn't it worth more if it is defective because it wasn't finished (as opposed to being defective because it was torn out)?

This could be the one-eyed beanie baby of the DFRPG books.
If you have to ask, it probably breaks a Law of Magic.  You're just trying to get the Doom of Damocles.

You know, Evil Hat has consistently impressed me with their good service. I find myself holding other gaming companies up to them in comparison.

Good on you guys.

I've gotten an email from Fred, and replied.

I asked if he wanted me to return the volume, but if it's gonna be the only one with a problem, why in forty or fifty years it may increase in value!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Of course, by then, my currently unborn grandchildren will be responsible for it, most likely.
