Books 8 & 9 going out this week

[Black Cat]

Matthew Sprange confirmed that bothbooks will be leaving (are currently leaving?) the Mongoose warehouse this week. We will finally see the mini-adventure written by the one and only GreyWolf! And we will see if they have tweaked the Kimah's fight!

[Black Cat]

Argh... It's been a while since we got any of these...

Some people received book 8 and mentionned that section 151 of the mini-adventure featuring Paido (and written by GreyWolf ;D) is missing, which prevents you to complete the adventure (this obviously doesn't affect the main adventure with LW). The error was made by the printers.

However, Matt Sprange was quick to reply:

Just finished talking to the printers, and they have owned up to the mistake - Book 8 is being reprinted right now.

We still have a few Book 8s to go out, and we are going to carry on sending them - this problem affects only the mini-adventure, not Lone Wolf himself (and we figure you would not want to wait to play through Book 9).

As soon as the printers have reprinted Book 8, it will be sent out to everyone who ordered. They have even offered to pick up the tab for the shipping to you

Expect a second copy of book 8 soon if you have ordered it.

On the bright side, Kimah has reportedly lower stats in the new version of book 9 when you fight him with the SS: CS 39, END 46. Hope the Chaosmaster will see the same modification...

Kimah will be easier....no way. I can't accept that.

My copies of books 8 & 9 arrived through the post today so they're definitely on the way to people .

[Beowuuf]

Mine too!

[Bewildered Badger]

Mine arrived this morning. Hope to see the improved version soon!

[greywolf]

Wow, I'm impressed the printers did that.

[koreth]

Wow, that's impressive that they do a total reprint & resend. I would expect just an erratta sheet with the section to insert.

Anyone notice the illustration of parchment in LW 8 appears to be computer generated? Not that I mind, but it is a little different.

Thanks,
Koreth

[Doomy]

Guess I should too! Oh wait, I haven't even ordered 8 yet!

Update concerning the error in book 8 by Matt Sprange:

The printer has volunteered to reprint Book 8 and refund our costs.

Because Book 10 is in the works, everyone who has ordered, pre-ordered or will order Book 10 by the end of April will _automatically_ be sent a new Book 8. No need to notify us, you will receive Book 8 with your Book 10.

In the unlikely (!) event you are not going to order Book 10, drop me a line at [e-mail], and we will send a replacement Book 8 out to you when they arrive. Please don't do this if Book 10 is coming your way, as it will just cause an administration headache!

Book 10 will be arriving early to mid-April, so will be in your hands very soon!

So everyone will receive a book 8 for free with book 10 if you have already ordered book 8. And we can now expect book 10 for mid-April.

Ah, okay.

Well, got my books today and yeah, all the sections after 150 are missing (there is at least section 151 and 152 that are missing) in the mini-adventure of book 8. However, I did noticed that the ending of the mini-adventure is not among the missing sections (the ending seems to be section 117), which is a nice little change from what we are accustomed to.

GW, how many entries your adventure should have?

[greywolf]

I can't remember offhand, I'll have to take a look at the master documents on the other machine when it's up and running again.

I presume you're going to drop a line to matt and get a new book 8?
