I just sent off the two comp copies I owed. The 30 for sale are a little over half complete--i.e. I have about 17 done--which means I'll be opening up sales pretty soon. First I'm going to e-mail the pre-order list and once those orders are filled I will open up regular sales via message board announcements. That seems fair.
In addition, we are holding a contest. One of the boxed sets has character sheets with green (actually more tennis-ball yellow) logos instead of red. If you get that boxed set and e-mail me the number of your box, you'll win a free hard and PDF copy of Return to the Caverns of the Vampire Queen, our first adventure module, upon its release.
Now down to the nitty gritty.
Shipping costs are going to be $7.00 to the Continental U.S. This includes packaging materials (i.e. boxes). Overseas shipping (I had someone from England interested, though I forget who) is going to cost about $13.00 U.S., plus insurance if you want it (and I'd recommend it). Insurance will probably be an extra buck or two.

Holy crap. I just finished putting a spreadsheet together for potential customers, and I didn't realize how much interest from overseas and across the border we had! Several Brits, a couple Canucks, and at least two from Germany (is there even a non-offensive colloquial term for German people?)! Geez, we've really hit the whole western world . I'll double-check on international shipping for Canada and Germany as well, just so we can be on the level with everyone.

Okay, my pre-order customers will be getting e-mails as soon as the shipping materials (boxes and packing peanuts) arrive.
First Class Mail International Package to Canada, according to USPS.com, is $8.95. Adding $2.00 for the box and packing materials, you're looking at roughly $11.00 for shipping to Canada.
To Germany it looks like $16.90, which would come out to roughly $18.90 after packing materials are factored in.
Those are the cheapest rates, at an estimated 2-lb shipping weight.
These are also in U.S. dollars. I'll double-check the figures at the actual post-office, though.

I'm assuming shipping to the UK will be the same as Germany?

No. UK shipping will be about $13.

Okay, folks...watch your e-mail. I should be sending out the pre-order info tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks for your patience, folks--this was a grueling task, putting these together. I'm also sorry to say for those who didn't pre-order that it looks like we're sold out (unless some of the pre-orders change their minds). I'll keep you all posted. I'm looking into options to do a larger "unlimited" run but right now it's not looking financially feasible.
For those who did order: don't forget about the contest, too! Look to see if you have the yellow-green logoed character sheets.

Well, I have only two left to send out--though I still need to send a reminder e-mail to the few people I haven't heard from--and once I get that squared away, I may have 3 or 4 left to sell. I'll keep you all posted.
