I keep checking mine, usually takes a week to get from Canada to Florida, the wierd part is something from Utah can take less than 3 days to get here...weird...

Well, the extra 400 miles plus a border crossing does tend to add a couple of days!

If the same pattern as past releases holds, players in the UK may well be the first to receive their copies.

That's true...to The Netherlands it sometimes only takes about 5 days and sometimes more than two weeks.

Got two packages from my Strange Uncle Mile today!

The first package had my copy of Morbid Adventures! Whoooo! The dark prayers and candles worked (or at least scared the hell out of the postal worker)....USA takes the gold!

The second had the donations from Uncle Mike for my contest on my blog that I am setting up....Thanks to Uncle Mike for throwing this stuff in the mail! I wanted to steal the "make yourself into an eldar god" item(but it is for the contest) that was included....heheheheh, my wife said "what the hell is that?" I had to explain it to her... lol

Now I have to explain to her I want a cult membership for my 40th birthday...going to be a fun one to explain...

I hope you get it soon, it is very cool and I am really digging the book. While I have not had time to read it cover to cover there is some great stuff in there....

May do a review on the blog...

Mine here now, normally I buy from Uncle Mike but but it does save on post buying from Black Hat Miniatures here in the UK, quick glance and it looks up to Uncle Mike  high standards.

My wife called me at work earlier to say I've received a suspicious looking package from Canada so I'm guessing mine's arrived   :D

Didn't realise that Black Hat Miniatures are now stocking Strange Aeons goodies. That's awesome news  :)

Great to hear guys! Yea the book is of high quality and I am working on perhaps trying out the solo option tonight or tomorrow and doing an AAR online with pictures.

The Elder gods require amusement...you have been selected to suffer for their entertainment.

Again the postal Shoggoth slithered by and left a magnificent book for me on the doorstep.
It's a very nice book and it's very handy that it has reference guides...also love the new Scenerios.

Post by: Mason on April 03, 2012, 03:48:05 PM
I should have mentioned that I ordered mine from Black Hat.
Terrific posting time and well packed.
Thanks again, Mike!

(Goes back to dribbling over lovely new tome..... ;D)

Received two copies yesterday...that was unexpected! Thanks guys! The book looks ace and I love the reference tables in the back. Makes gameplay so much easier!

Post by: Uncle Mike on April 04, 2012, 01:42:30 PM
Well, you did get a rule credit...mostly because we had many scenario ideas that were much like your ideas for the scenario contest. You ordered before I could send you a free copy, so I figured it best to just send you two... o_o...if that makes any sense...
Title: Re: Morbid Adventures arrived yet?
Post by: einarolafson on April 04, 2012, 11:09:20 PM
I recieved mine yesterday too!! (I bought mine from Black Hat) Very nice scenarios and ideas!! Thanks!!

Cheers.

Still waiting for mine - Australia is further away than most of the guys here  :?

Mine has arrived  :D

Edit - I forgot to add that Australian Customs opened mine parcel up for inspection because (and I quote) "...detector dogs and x-ray machines, indicated there may have been an item of quarantine concern in your mail article".

 As there was only a book in the parcel I can only imaging that someone working for Post Canada has a really bad drug habit and they contaminated the padded bag with drug residue when they handled it.

 Either that or the sniffer dog could smell fish men  lol
Title: Re: Morbid Adventures arrived yet?
Post by: Uncle Mike on April 17, 2012, 01:49:44 PM
This is unavoidable due to the shockingly high levels of Eldritch Horror on every page. Most censors can't detect it yet...but those dogs smell it every time.
Title: Re: Morbid Adventures arrived yet?
Post by: Dolmot on April 18, 2012, 04:19:27 PM
I've heard Australia is quite eager to ban all sorts of obscene and/or corrupting material. Lucky you if it only took a short quarantine. Books like this have been banned for good around the world...
Title: Re: Morbid Adventures arrived yet?
Post by: styx on April 18, 2012, 05:48:52 PM
They say that dogs can sense evil, so I am sure they didn't like that package with all the evil within those pages. I wonder how long they flipped through the book going ,"What the smeg is this?"
Title: Re: Morbid Adventures arrived yet?
Post by: zobo1942 on April 20, 2012, 03:03:37 AM
Wow - talk about fast! - I ordered last Friday morning, and it was waiting when I got home today!

Sadly, it was folded in half and shoved into the mail box. But, what can you do?

I know - I'll hex the lettercarrier, 'Strange Aeons'-style!

Ah, Canada Post.  The surest way to get a crease in your mail is to write DO NOT BEND on it.

I think that I should just put a big sign on the mailbox, or something. Either that, or install a HUGE mailbox with a note saying "There is plenty of room. PLEASE do not fold the books I order. Thank you!"

Anyway - just did the preliminary read through. Good stuff!

Mine has now arrived in Denmark :)

Looks really good although I've just quickly flipped through the book so far.

Bought mine yesterday - I think this is the best of the expansion books released so far. For those who have yet to buy it or wonder about the contents I wrote a reviwe and posted a link on the Strange Aeons board  :)
