Title: Morbid Adventure...Nearly Ready!
Post by: Uncle Mike on March 19, 2012, 11:10:10 PM

Haven't said much about Morbid Adventures...been quite busy working to get it done. Got the proof copy from the printer today and it looks great aside from a few minor changes. With any luck the wheels will begin turning on this by the end of the week! Ahead of schedule...knock on wood! Ia! Ia! I am excited!

Waiting to get an ETA from the printer.  If it's going to be an especially fast turnaround (ie. a week or less), we may forego a pre-order and just wait until we have them in hand.

We're quite proud of this one!

The book also has the unique distinction of having a cover painted by Bob Murch!  How's that for novel?

Don't light the candles though...paper and fire don't work well together!

I am a enviro friendly cultist and use battery based candles now...prevents all those accidential fires...easy to clean up after those rituals also...

Hi,
I really would like to buy it. Where can I order in Germany. My usual shop for wargames rules says its difficult to pre order and complicated to get the supplement in Germany. Why is that ?
Funny thing... it was no problem to get the Basic rules and the other supplements earlier.
Has something changed ?
Cheers
Björn

Maybe Battlefield Berlin will sell the book when it becomes available to them?
