Excellent! Thanks for making them available so soon - and for bookmarking the faces of the cases  :)

Awesome!

We've got a whole weekend set aside for our first game coming up this Saturday.

Excellent!

Although just as a troubleshooting notice, book 2 has the complete cover of book 1 on the cover page, underneath it's own cover. It's somewhat disconcerting to open it and see the cover to book 1 for a few seconds while book 2's cover loads.

The same holds true of the page with the back cover.

Yeah, that was real stupid of the software, but by the time I noticed it the PDF was pushed out everywhere. I'd rather not trigger ANOTHER wave of 1000+ downloads if I can help it.

I got the pdfsx and immediately started looking for the patches and typo corrections.

The marginale I suggested for Grevane's missing Fedora is there.

That's cool.  ;D

Yeah. I, too, brought up a couple of problems that got fixed with marginalia. That's actually really neat to see.  :)

Post by: iago on May 04, 2010, 04:59:00 PM
Yep. Many corrections aren't in there. The game still won't be perfect -- no game goes to press perfect -- but it's MUCH improved for the four weeks of feedback.

I haven't been keeping up with the forums when it comes to corrections and such. What's changed?

I just wish to post my opinion here that fred is a literomancer ;D or maybe a gameomancer lol.

On a serious note major thanks for getting the completed up. It looks beautiful.

Maybe I'm missing it, but is there a way to turn off the background? If not, I'm headed to the office to print this sucker out :D

Nope. We heartily encourage people to order the actual books that will be printed up nice and proper for them if they want 'em in paper form -- though some folks have managed to do it anyway. :)

 ::) lol, I would be one of those with my "First RPG Sig!" book. My office is just going to start getting suspicious about where all their color toner is going!
And don't worry about the books, they will be mine... oh yes... ;D

Hey, page 202 of "your story" contains a hidden copy of Dresden's character sheet, which shows up upon searching or in pure text view.  Makes it slightly harder to find things.
Title: Re: The Updated PDFs are Up
Post by: iago on May 27, 2010, 05:29:44 AM
That's not likely to get fixed.
Title: Re: The Updated PDFs are Up
Post by: Slife on May 27, 2010, 06:15:21 AM
Didn't think so, but figured you might as well have it on the list in case you ever have a gold-plated collector's pdf or something.

EDIT:
Page 279 in Your Story says
“If you have a focus item that can only do one thing thing—you get a single free “slot upgrade” (as described below) to add an extra +1 bonus.”

I can’t find the “described below”.

Page 280. Top of first column.

But those are for enchanted items, not focus.

Well, you can see how we got confused, then! ;)

Just ignore the "as described below" thing -- that may be a vestige of an earlier thing when we actually had something below, but I'm not seeing any reason we need to expand upon the point beyond what's said in what you've quoted.

Post by: Slife on May 29, 2010, 02:29:22 AM
Fair enough.  I assume that's just a discount of one slot and still has to follow the other rules, so you can't have a "blasting rod of Fuego", paying for +1 into offense power and offense control for fire magic, then get a slot upgrade for +2 offense power and +1 offense control, correct?

Umm, I can't get to the updated PDF's it says that I am expired, any idea?

I'm gonna bet you paid by e-check. E-check orders seem to be wonky with not handling the expiration dates right. Send an email through the store site, let me know the order number.

If we pre-ordered from our FLGS, do we contact them for the updated versions?

If they provided the original versions to you, yes; they already have the updated PDFs in their dropbox folders (whether or not they realize it).
Title: Re: The Updated PDFs are Up
Post by: BigMrE on June 18, 2010, 06:26:46 PM
I believe they did provide me with the originals (not really sure anymore  ;D).  I'll ask them to check and see (not like I won't have the books soon though).

Thanks!

Greetings

Leisure Games in the UK were very good.  Without any request they sent out an updated CD with the final pdfs.

They had them at my FLGS Fred, I just was unaware of the fact (and they were too, didn't know that there was another release).  Thanks again!

I was fortunate enough to be able to attend Origins this year and I picked up the Dresden books there. I was informed that I could get the pdfs but how do I do that?

Email us using the contact form on the rpg website. Send a picture of you with the books or tell us a story that you'd only know from being at the convention. :)

But I thought what happens at cons stays at cons :)
