For future reference, it's probably not the best idea to start off an "unboxing" video with "I've already unpacked it".

I was thinking the same thing!  :grin: Mr. Wardell seems to be as excited by his new baby as we are.  Like a kid on Christmas morning.... ^_^

MAN....  :drool:

 That is SO cool - now if it didn't cost me 50$ just to ship it is, a little to steep for me .. Oh well :) Digital preorder is good enough - now only if they would released it early :D

Damn glad I pre-ordered and then upgraded my order.

I recall making old maps and scrolls burning the edges & using teato weather the paper while DMing (no part of my was a pyro I will have you know! ). The best was using a chunk of old canvas from my Dad's old WW2 Army tent he had thrown away. I used inks and all and made a map. The players really thought it was cool. Had that up on the gaming wall for a number of years.

Great stuff :frogboy: and DEVs!

Even the box it all comes in looks good quality.

I am betting an iron will take the creases out of that map just fine. :)

Very happy to have bought a limited edition via pre-order.  Impatiently waiting for it to arrive.

Feel bad about having passed on that, but as a european customer I should have paid double the price with shipping and tax.

Eww, I hate in-game codes and such. I'm glad they didn't have any. To each his own, I guess.


What would you call the game-code in the back of the novel?



I'll clarify: I'm glad they don't have any in-game codes in the limited editon of the game that we were talking about.


Which would put you in a minority I suspect.

I mean, not to be funny I have LOTS of limited and collectors editions from a hobby of MANY years of gaming, and although the additional books and maps and miniatures and the like are all well and nice, when I think how much use I get from them in comparison to say the game itself.. then OBVIOUSLY in game bonuses are of more DIRECT and RELEVANT benefit, it isn't hard to see how such in game bonuses are of greater use and appeal..

The vast majority of the additional stuff that goes into collectors and limited editions in a tangible way usually ends up perused once or put on a shelf somewhere, or more likely left in the box and largely forgotten about in short order..whereas the game itself is used constantly.

Now the point of rasing the issue was not to flame Stardock or Frogboy or any such thing but merely point out that for me and others I suspect the decision not to include some additional "in game" incentive to the limited edition actually cost them a limited edition sale over a standard version because there are quite a lot of us out here who look for somethign tangible from a CE or LE or SE version of a game that is directly pertinent to the in gameplay itself.

Please even tho you are just assuming do not say someone is minority without any valid statistical prove. You sounds like people are minority because they have different point of view.

Have you ever thought of in game content is just pixels and codes which can be place in at anytime? Or in other way you did not get anything extra from limited edition rather they remove something from the normal edition.

I do not think is right that any producer charge gamers anything that the community cannot make.

In all my 25+ years gaming I have never bought a collectors or limited or special of any game untill today. The book and the map are what I really wanted. I also ordered the paperback book from borders today. Now to play the waiting game (or the starwars mod for Sins)..

Call me weird, but I am less likely to buy a game at all if they rip out content from the regular edition so they can give it to pre-order or limited edition versions.  Personally I prefer what they are offering in the Elemental LE version over something ingame.

Same here - reminds me of those goodie packs that used to come in the Working Designs games.

This game is so moddable what "Extra" things do you want them to put in that someone else can't mod in themselves?

I think it works with multiplayer and mmo's (get cool costumes, titles, guns, magical undies.... whatever) and usually the extras you get are just for show to keep things balanced.

What works for one game doesn't work for them all, for this game because its so moddable I LOVE the lore book we get and the dragon and maps way more than a new unit or something I make myself.

I know!  Worse, I've had a bunch of dragon slayers hanging around the house for the last few weeks.  I just don't know what I'm gonna tell them.... :)

And btw, the dragon is real. Once you get your LE, you will be able to touch/lick/eat/swallow it, ergo real. :P

The only thing that does it for me is the book. But with some serious financial obligations at the moment I couldn't reasonably dedicate an extra 20 bucks for a book filled with background story. =( Alas woe is me. lawl.

I always had a thing for Lizards of the Coast. But catfolk in general are still my primary target.
