After a few delays, The Thing in the Valley has arrived. I picked it up from the printer today and enabled the purchase tab at http://pacesettergames.com/home website.

The module is designed for Basic/Expert D&D, though readily adaptable for first edition AD&D. It is produced in the image of TSR modules and features a 32 page adventure book and color, cardstock cover (separate from the book).

The first printing is limited to 100 numbered copies. That is it. The second printing will be scheduled for release later this year (which will fix the few typos that slipped through - yep, they are there). Also, a PDF version will soon be available. Anyone purchasing a first print hard copy will recieve a discount on any PDF purchases.

Also, there is a shipping discount for multiple copy purchases - you only pay shipping for one copy no matter how many you purchase - US buyers only.

For my friends in the UK, I have already discussed a mass shipping to the UK to one buyer who will distribute from there. All UK buyers should contact me first prior to ordering. I will send one large package so shipping will be "local" for you plus a small, very small, charge for the initial shipment.

I can work out similar arrangements for other buyers overseas.

Finally, a sincere thanks to all who supported and helped with this project. If you have any questions, contact me at your convenience.

Not at all. Everyone is welcome! I just want to make sure overseas buyers don't have to spend more on the shipping than the module itself.

Great to see it in print bb, and they look to be selling quick!
For the UK distributor, I'll chip in for one of those 100 as well please, to spread the shipping costs!

Hey Bill! I don't know if you caught the note I added to my Paypal transaction last night but if there is an additional cost to shipping to my location send me a note and I will send you the difference.

Just did a quick accounting and total is now at 70 +/- a couple. This includes the reserved copies from overseas buyers who will purchase all at once. Also includes the couple I will hang onto.

Wow! Thanks guys! Looks like I am gonna be up pretty late packing...
