Year: 2010

The preorder for the pen and paper Dresden Files Roleplaying Game from Evil Hat Productions (www.evilhat.com) is now open!

You can learn more about the particulars of the preorder — and place your early order for both books in the set, including getting access to the almost-complete PDFs right away — at the Evil Hat Productions web store:

http://www.evilhat.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65_72

Free shipping is available in the USA to people who place a preorder for both books, and the final PDFs will be made available to preordering customers once they are available (which should include the addition of a short story by Jim, still getting written as we speak)! The books will ship out in late June/early July.

Fans of the series may be particularly interested in the second book, which among other things provides a comprehensive character guide up through Small Favor. A handy reference to have on hand as you read through Changes!

You can learn more about the game at http://www.dresdenfilesrpg.com/ — make sure to check out the “Nevermore” post for a peek at what a Dresden-ized version of Baltimore looks like.

Thanks everyone!

Amazon and Penguin are bickering, and the Kindle edition of “Changes” has been caught up in the crossfire. Fans around the world are getting email notifications from Amazon that their “Changes” preorders have been canceled.
Jim had no say in this decision, and he’s already received an outpouring of mail from fans perplexed and angered at this chain of events. We know many of you were relying on this being available on release day, and we’re every bit as frustrated as you are. We’re confident the conflict will not be drawn out much longer, but we have no way of knowing if it will be resolved in time for the book’s Tuesday release. We have no doubt that “Changes” will be available for the Kindle at some point, but whether that’s tomorrow, next week, or next month is anyone’s guess.
We hope this doesn’t unduly inconvenience you guys, and we thank you for bearing with us in this exceptionally annoying time.

Our friends at Buzzy Multimedia are selling the three new Dresden audio books at a jaw-dropping discount! Preorder Blood Rites, Dead Beat, and Changes together for $93.97, a staggering $55.88 off the list price. That’s even cheaper than what Amazon is offering!
Support an awesome independent bookstore, save serious green, and delight your eardrums all at once. Preorder Buzzy Multimedia’s Dresden Files Audio Book Special #8!
