Hi all!
IPR will be selling the NOON softcover of The Sprawl at Gen Con and on an ongoing basis directly and to retailers. In order to do that I’m in the process of organising an offset print run.
If you saw the IPR Gen Con product listing, you may have noticed that the price was listed as $27. This is calculated so that when the first print run sells out, I can pay for a second print run from the proceeds.
Because of this, I’ve raised the price of the softcover on DTRPG to $27 so that the DTRPG PoD isn’t undercutting IPR and most importantly any retailers who stock the game.
The hardcover versions will continue to be $40 and only available through PoD.
I’m at home in New Zealand at the moment, so my internet access may be limited, but I’m happy to answer any questions you might have about this (or anything else, as usual!).
Hack on!
Hamish, I just received my softcover copy from DTRPG, and it was damaged in transit (bent cover and water damaged pages. I didn’t see anything on DTRPG for returns. Do you know if there’s anything I can do?
Gregory Daily yes! Get in touch with their customer service department. There’s a Contact Us button at the bottom of the front page that will let you upload photos with your message. I’m sure they have an CS email too, but I can’t find it at the moment.
Let me know what they say!
Thanks. I’ll look for it better when I get back home from work. I wanted to say something to you. As a D&D player, I’ve had a pretty difficult time adjusting to running games like Apocalypse World, but it wasn’t until reading through The Sprawl that it “clicked” with me. Maybe it’s just your word choice or your interpretation of how things should work that made it make sense for me. Whatever the case may be, I feel a lot more comfortable running The Sprawl, or even Apocalypse World after reading your book.
Wow, thanks! I love hearing stuff like that. Sometimes it’s just a different voice explaining things to you that makes things click.
Some of the credit for this should definitely go to Gerald Cameron (no relation!) who focused my attention on many places where my explanations weren’t as clear as they needed to be.
BTW, I see that DriveThruRPG on Twitter directs customers to that same contact page, so that must be the main way of making contact for this kind of issue.
