Seriously, what is going on. Am I never going to get the book that I already ordered? Because if so, I think I need to cancel the order. This is getting very tiring.
Even my patience and respect for what Mongoose Publishing has done can only last for so long.
I am sorry you feel that way - however, please remember, these books have not been released yet. In some cases, they do not exist as a finished product anywhere. It is not as if we are sitting on a pile of them, cackling!
As soon as each of the books in question are ready, a run will be produced specially for those who have pre-ordered them, and these will be sent out some time before the general release.
Your right, and in general I wouldn't have a problem with a book that has not come out being pushed back.
But, looking and reading this forums I have read that various people have access to it. They have access to ti because they went to a meeting or a game or something in your building. I would love to do that, I really do, but I like in an entirely different continent from where your offices are and I cannot.
In some of the cases they got the book without actually ordering it ahead of time. I, on the other hand, have already ordered it.
And this comes my problem - they have it because of the luck they had of being near to your place, while I am getting nothing despite the fact that I have ordered it months and months ago. Considering that they physically picked up the book at the meeting, couldn't you have sent it to me or something equally like that.
This is the issue that I have with the recent events. Though I will end by saying it truly hasn't eroded by continued plan of buying Mongoose books that I like, but it does have me thinking a second before I buy anything unless the physical book is in my hadn when I purchase it.
Also, and this is a final word, when I put the book on order it was roughly a week or so before the book was going to come out the first time. It really wasn't a back order thing, it was "oh, its only a week, I can wait." And then all of a sudden it became months.
Okay, I guess that was not the final word, but this should be. Msprange,I do appreciate the fact that you are explaining what is wrong and the problems that developed. It is nice to here why the book is delayed rather than a stony wall of silence, so I appreciate that.
Very happy.
