SWORDS OF THE SERPENTINE: new shipping date, price warning.

SWORDS OF THE SERPENTINE is Pelgrane Press’s sword-and-sorcery GUMSHOE game, and I’ve been looking forward to getting it. I’ve also pre-ordered it, so the news about the price change is only vexing in an academic way:

The ink issues have been resolved with updated files, and the printers have gone back to work on the print book. They’ve got some backlogs at the moment, and their expected ship date is mid-May. We’ll send out an email before they ship out to confirm pre-orderers addresses. If you haven’t pre-ordered your copy yet, you may be interested to know that, due to increases in the print costs, we’ve had to push up the MSRP of the print book to $59.95/£49.95; however, it will remain at its existing $49.95/£39.95 for pre-orderers.

Yay, inflation! And this is just going to get worse, folks. Now is the time to lock in sales prices.
