Yeah, I've waited for years for this book so I can wait a few months more.
My thoughts as well. I'm not in a rush to get it now vs. two months down the line.

Also, we raised over 16,000 dollars for charity, so thank you everyone who bought the book and helped make it :)
Thanks, but I got nothing planned. I want to do an updated version of the book in the future, adding the games from 2016-2019 (since the book is divided in 5-year blocks) but that will likely be 2021 or 2022. You need hindsight for this kind of thing.
Sorry, but I don't have the energy, time or interest to deal with those. Besides, there's already the wonderful OLD GAMERS HISTORY Vol. 3 & 4 here in Japan that do a wonderful job of covering them: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4896101324/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_V-dVCb8HGYTR4In the future, a more console-rpg focused book would be fantastic. Or updates with Japanese micros and their expansive rpg libraries...
BTW, you can now freely download and share the updated PDF, I added hyperlinks and bookmarks: https://crpgbook.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/crpg_book_2.0_hq.pdf
Shipping is available worldwide. For US orders, use bitmapbooks.com; for anywhere else, including Canada, you need bitmapbooks.co.uk.So if im reading correctly, new print of the book will be available in july? I couldn't get into it the first time because of money but i'll be fine in july.
Like i-Lo said above, is it possible to ship in Canada or it's only US? Because otherwise I have familly there
The Art of Point and Click Adventures was the first Bitmap Books book I've bought and I'm really impressed with it - will probably pick up this, too.
A single new print run is expected in July, standard edition only. You can't yet order, but I'd suggesting signing up for their newsletter as they'll probably mention there when ordering opens up.So is there another pre-order window coming? I can't figure out when it's happening. I completely missed that this got a physical edition and I'm really frustrated. I need this book in physical form.
Awesome, thank you.A single new print run is expected in July, standard edition only. You can't yet order, but I'd suggesting signing up for their newsletter as they'll probably mention there when ordering opens up.

Mine arrived from the UK packaged just like that. The level of care that went into packaging and shipping was obvious (and appreciated). The book is also a labor of love, and looks great. I was just going to browse a few minutes before dinner but ended up engrossed for the next hour like I was lost in a time warp.Mine showed up today and it's just gorgeous. Plus, it was packed impeccably. Cellophane wrapped, then inserted into a foam sleeve. Then four large form corners held it almost floating-like in the box. The box was doubled sealed as well. They really went out of their way to protect it and I super appreciate it.

Unless you played every CRPG on the planet, this book will certainly point you towards some gems you have missed and provide some tips on how to get started, what to expect and why it's important. I'm still floored that this even got made. Simply incredible!
I think this is the page where I ordered mine.Ah where can I buy this now? The links in the OP don't seem to work
