#1 zombiegleemax Jul 03, 2003 2:05:09	If we order a signed copy of DLCS form margaretweis.com, does anybody know if we actually get it now or still wait till august?
#2 zombiegleemax Jul 03, 2003 2:15:12	I was wondering the same thing. I came very close to ordering it but it seemed kind of fishy. Also it costs quite a bit more than if you order it from amazon.com. What to do what to do.......
#3 maladaar Jul 03, 2003 6:17:33	It doesn't say that it is an autographed copy at margaretweis.com. I am going to call the number and check as I already have two copies on order at BarnesAndNoble.
#4 zombiegleemax Jul 03, 2003 8:47:59	You can most definitely get it signed! The website is still being tweaked. Right now, if you want to order one from margaretweis.com, and get it signed, simply email your order confirmation number along with what you'd like signed inside and you can get the book signed by Margaret If you want Tracy to sign it, unfortunately right now, you'll have to track him down at GenCon or Dragon*Con or at one of his book tours...which I'm sure he'll be doing fairly soon to promote his Bronze Canticles series. The email address you'll need to send the information to is [email]sales@margaretweis.com[/email] Christopher
#5 maladaar Jul 03, 2003 10:02:04	Stormprince, Would it in fact be shipped before the official release date? Or will the autographed copies be shipped upon the official release date?
#6 Dragonhelm Jul 03, 2003 10:08:24	I talked to Margaret this morning, and she says she has a limited supply which can be shipped right away. First come, first serve. Just thought I would clarify.

Or will the autographed copies be shipped upon the official release date? They'll be shipped now, as far as I am aware. We do only have a limited number of copies available...just what was left over from our Origins numbers. After that, we'll have to wait until we get our own copies from WotC before we can ship any more. Christopher
#8 zombiegleemax Jul 03, 2003 10:58:56	Chris -- I ordered one from the site last night just after the first notice at EN World. Should I have faith that I'll get one of the current crop of copies? Will I be alerted if the shipment is to ship or not? Thanks!
#9 maladaar Jul 03, 2003 11:05:39	I just ordered two copies and sent the e-mail to [email]sales@margaretweis.com[/email]. I guess I am asking the same question about being informed when they are shipped.

#11 zombiegleemax Jul 03, 2003 12:26:38	Yah!!! I just ordered mine as well. Thanks for the email Chris. I'll have to fight the urge not to go "nah, nah, nah, nah!" When I get my copy before most others do. Hehe Man I'm excited. Now the long wait of waiting for my mailman every day. :D
#12 maladaar Jul 03, 2003 12:32:42	<< Still happy to get a sneak preview! :D
#13 jonesy Jul 03, 2003 13:09:45	...just what was left over from our Origins numbers. DLCS? Left over? *faints*
#14 zombiegleemax Jul 03, 2003 13:13:38	Hehe .. sorry. You are right. It is is just that I have been waiting for this a long time. I'm just happy someone took over the DL project. When Wizards announced they would not be supporting DL my heart sunk. I thought the world that I loved was dying. I owned several of the forgotten realms campaign source books and maps a long time ago .. but they are no where near the world that DL is. I think it is a dumb move on Wizards part to let go of DL like that .. especially after the success of all their novels. But that just opened the door for the people at soviergn. I wouldn't be surprised if the DL campaign materials outsells FR. I know I'll be doing my part to make it so.
#15 zombiegleemax Jul 03, 2003 13:14:35	If I remember correctly, we had about 50 books left over...and considering the 'site and information was just put up last night, I think that you're good to go. I'd have to ask Jamie for exact details, but he's actually on a well-deserved vacation for the next 10 days or so...I'll see what I can find out. Christopher
#16 B-naa Jul 03, 2003 13:45:39	How about international orders? I was checking out the site, it looks like its just US and Canada orders. Am I wrong? It would be nice to get ahold of the DLCS before September (Amazon UK seems to think its not availiable until then).

I'll see what I can find out, but I'd go ahead and send an email to [email]sales@margaretweis.com[/email] anyways to see if you can find out before I do. Christopher
#18 shugi Jul 03, 2003 13:58:20	Chris, do we have to wait until GenCon to get your signature as well? :D
#19 darkjedi26 Jul 03, 2003 14:09:35	Sweet, I just ordered one. I'll keep an eye on the mail for it!
#20 zombiegleemax Jul 03, 2003 16:08:21	Oh, yes. I just placed an order as well. This is the best!!! I have been waiting so long for this. :D And the crowd sing...hail the king.

Christopher Thanks Christopher, I sent an email last night, but since you were on I thought there's no harm asking :D
#22 zombiegleemax Jul 04, 2003 14:03:57	Yep, we can do international orders Just verified ;) Christopher
#23 zombiegleemax Jul 04, 2003 16:13:07	Hey Chris, what are the details on confirming shipping? If we're getting one of the supply left over, will we be emailed about it, or will it just show up on our doorstep without advance notice? Thanks

Thanks Um...another good question. o.o; I'd assume that there is confirmation, but I'd have to ask Jamie... and he's currently soaking up rays in Georgia ;.; I'll see what I can find out! Christopher
#25 zombiegleemax Jul 04, 2003 22:44:31	Thanks :D

That was what I was trying to ask when I posted: I just ordered two copies and sent the e-mail to [email]sales@margaretweis.com[/email]. I guess I am asking the same question about being informed when they are shipped. Although it was in response to someone else's post, I may not have been clear on what I was asking.
#27 zombiegleemax Jul 05, 2003 16:37:28	I hope I wasn't too late. I've never been happier to be part of this message board. :D
#28 zombiegleemax Jul 05, 2003 23:18:12	How much *DOES* a signed copy cost?
#29 zombiegleemax Jul 05, 2003 23:21:33	Originally posted by Jacen Solo 5007 How much *DOES* a signed copy cost? *grins* Same as the normal one, $39.99 Christopher
#30 zombiegleemax Jul 06, 2003 15:50:45	Just an odd question, but how can one pay? Do you have to use a credit card or can you use a money order?
#31 maladaar Jul 06, 2003 16:20:40	I used a credit card at margaretweis.com
#32 americancyco Jul 06, 2003 19:28:33	Ok not to rub it in but I bought the very first copy of this book sold at Origins. I was late for my Pikathulhu event just to be there when they cracked the books out. But it was well wrth it and to make it one of my best gaming experiences Margret personalized my book o me and noted that it was the 1st copy of the book sold. That was really cool. The guy running the Pikathulhu said that was a good enough reason to be late for any game if he had ever heard/seen one. The following day I was lucky enough to play a intro Dragonlance with Christopher as our DM. The twisted goblins where cool and explaining barbarian rage as Wookee rage (how often do you hear that). The only sad part was I left the book back in the hotel and wasn't able to get Christopher or Jamie to sign it but they did sign my TSR silver poster, which is really starting to gather a lot of names. Like I said not to rub it in, ok well maybe just a little. But the book is great and I'm running a classic war of the lance game this fall after the new rule books come out.
#33 zombiegleemax Jul 07, 2003 1:53:10	Any word yet whether those who ordered on the web site will be getting email confirmations when their copy will be shipped?
#34 zombiegleemax Jul 07, 2003 1:57:39	I was just hoping it was already sent and by some fluke of nature UPS has sped up and we will all have our copies tomorrow morning. Yep .. wishful thinking.
#35 zombiegleemax Jul 07, 2003 3:23:58	Originally posted by Stormprince *grins* Same as the normal one, $39.99 Christopher D*mn. I wish I wasn't so poor. The only way I'll be able to afford a regular one is if my uncle buys it useing his Barns & Noble discount, and we pay him back (4-6 people pitching in for it. My whole group, only I don't know for certain if two f them are or not). If anyone wants to help this poor kid get him a signed copy of the DLCS, either send him money, or order a copy for him! Jacen Solo 5007, the president of the Get Jacen Solo 5007 a signed copy of the DLCS foundation. If you don't help him, who will?
#36 zombiegleemax Jul 07, 2003 10:19:38	BUY.com is a good site with the DLCS being only 25.16. They also have free shipping so the grand total would only be 25.16. I've bought lots of DL books from them. Check them out.
#37 talinthas Jul 07, 2003 20:38:38	see, its more a matter of having the book *now* as opposed to cheaply. I ordered mine today =) btw chris, i want all you guys at SP to sign it =)

#39 zombiegleemax Jul 09, 2003 1:02:40	Has anyone received confirmation yet whether they'll be getting their book immediately? I sent an email to [email]sales@margaretweis.com[/email] asking if I was one of the lucky few to get a left over book from Origin but no response as of yet.
#40 zombiegleemax Jul 09, 2003 1:13:00	I emailed them as well with no return email. Maybe tomorrow.
#41 talinthas Jul 09, 2003 3:07:23	Dudes, calm down. the email gets sent to Jamie. Jamie is on vacation. Everything will get done efficiently, but don't expect replies. He knows what we want and is doing what he can, but come on. Brother has been slaving away in the vast nothingness of Wisconsin for god knows how long to get us this book, and i think he deserves a week off for himself. Its bad enough that he has to take calls from idiots like me =)
#42 maladaar Jul 09, 2003 5:06:21	Working in the IT field, normally when someone goes on vacation an "Out of Office Reply" is set up or someone else is delegated the responsibility of replying to those incoming e-mails. That way one way or another the sender receives a reply. Dragonhelm instructed us to send an e-mail to sales and Stormprince indeed informed us that he would ask Jamie who happens to be on vacation (one that I am sure is well-deserved). I understand that the website is still under construction, but it normal for an e-mail to go out upon sending a product that is ordered via the Internet. Which will obviously generate the question of when will we receive it, now or in September. If it was already released or this was purely an advance sale, I don't think the question would be rising so often. Lastly, everyone is obviously very anxious to get a hold of the book (understandably so as DL fans have been waiting for DL reappearance for quite some time). I know that once we have the book in hand we will appreciate all of the hard work that has gone into the creation of it.
#43 zombiegleemax Jul 09, 2003 12:16:08	Ok .. I just got the email from Jamie as well asking me to use paypal. So I guess no book today. This offer was first seen late on the night of the 2nd. I ordered the book the next morning on the 3rd. Why am I only now getting this email that I have to use paypal, while others got it earlier? We were told that we can no longer order copies from the site because they are sold out. Does this mean I won't be recieving my copy till September even though I ordered when there were plenty of copies available? I hope they reserved our copies when they had this problem instead of selling to someone else. Did everyone have this problem asking them to use paypal? I haven't got the email from paypal requesting the money ... I have only recieved the one from Jamie, should I go ahead and use paypal and just enter the amount I thought was charged from my credit card and use Jamie's email as the recipient?
#44 talinthas Jul 09, 2003 12:21:25	ahem. what he said. just got announcement. we'll see where this goes. it's no big deal though. I'll just resume my original plan of sending Andre` out to gencon to get me one =)
#45 zombiegleemax Jul 09, 2003 12:23:33	Yeah, what he said. How long should we wait for the paypal email?
#46 B-naa Jul 09, 2003 12:38:50	If they had spare copies at Origins, then its always possible there would be spare from GenCon. I don't imagine you'll be waiting until September. If I recall correctly it is officially released in August.
#47 zombiegleemax Jul 09, 2003 12:40:11	Some of us aren't going to Gencon.
#48 talinthas Jul 09, 2003 12:46:36	thats why some of us grab other people who ARE going to get our stuff for us ;)
#49 zombiegleemax Jul 09, 2003 15:05:06	I got the same PayPal email as well. Honestly, I could care less about the signature but I would rather receive my book now. If my order turns out to be a preorder for August/September, I'm just gonna go ahead and cancel it. Why pay MSRP for the book when I can get it for much cheaper somewhere else?
#50 zombiegleemax Jul 09, 2003 16:03:02	Well I got good news. I just recieved this email: All the orders placed on the website prior to the backorder notice (including yours) are available for immediate shipment. You should receive your payment request soon! Sorry for any inconvenience. Jamie Chambers Sales Manager MargaretWeis.com So those that ordered before Monday, I think, should still get their's early. I agree with rsvictor1976 about the autograph .. I just want it early as well. That is why I chose to pay the MSRP versus saving $10+ elsewhere. I'd rather have an autograph on something that isn't going to get used (and damaged) as much ... like my Annotated Chronicles. But anyway ... I'm happy with the news.
#51 shugi Jul 09, 2003 16:51:31	I also got the emails - two of them, actually. You should get one titled "Dragonlance Campaign Setting" from Jamie. That email has the PayPal link.
#52 zombiegleemax Jul 09, 2003 18:43:16	Are we supposed to get this e-mail if we ordered with a credit card, or just PayPal? I ordered several days before the back-order announcement and I haven't gotten any e-mail.
#53 maladaar Jul 09, 2003 18:48:27	Soul - I had ordered mine on July 3rd by Credit Card and received the e-mails today about paypal. Apparently if you got your order in before the website said backordered (which I believe as the 8th) then you should be ok and will receive an advance copy. That is the best to my knowledge.
#54 zombiegleemax Jul 09, 2003 19:36:47	I am still waiting on my second email with the paypal request. I would go ahead and send it to that email but I want to make sure I am credited for it and my shipment isn't held any longer.

Which back order notice are they talking about? Was there a second email regarding a back order? I placed my order on July 6th. The only email I received was the one about my credit card not being charged yet and that I was going to receive a PayPal notice. I still haven't received a payment request from PayPal as of yet. Has anyone received their PayPal payment request yet?
#56 zombiegleemax Jul 09, 2003 20:19:38	Just checked my mail and had this from Jamie... This is just a quick note to inform you that your ordered copy of the Dragonlance Campaign Setting is shipping today from MargaretWeis.com via USPS Priority Mail. Your book should arrive within 3-5 postal delivery days. Thank you once again for your purchase! Whee! I'll probably get it Monday or so (and since I hope to get the 3.5 books Friday, it'll be a good weekend for updating my D&D collection!)

So your's has already shipped and I am still waiting on the paypal email? Grrr I got an email telling me I will be recieving an email from paypal. But that was much earlier today. I wish I knew if I could just go ahead and paypal the money to Jamie's address. I'm afraid mine won't ship tomorrow either.
#59 zombiegleemax Jul 10, 2003 7:12:50	I called the phone number listed on MargretWeis.com last night. I talked to a really nice lady (They were getting there dinner orders ready for a food run, I think she got the steak-MR a baked potato and a salad, real sweet lady.) Anyways, she took my info right over the phone and said my copy would be shipped as soon as my credit card clears....maybe today. I think this whole thing has made me a bit...... But you got to love the fact that they are putting in a lot of hours to make our dreams come true.
#60 zombiegleemax Jul 10, 2003 10:27:28	I have called the number on the site a couple of times and I only get a recording. And I still haven't recieved that dang paypal request. Grrrrr :D Edit: At least I have a forum to talk about this on. It helps the wait somewhat. I just realized it has been a week since I ordered my DLCS and it still hasn't been shipped or billed. I'm used to dealing with companies that ship on a Tuesday and I recieve it on a Thursday or a Friday. *Paces the floor*
#61 darkjedi26 Jul 10, 2003 10:55:28	ya, I'm still waiting for my second email as well. grrrr...!
#62 zombiegleemax Jul 10, 2003 12:42:36	Originally posted by Eidolon I also got the emails - two of them, actually. You should get one titled "Dragonlance Campaign Setting" from Jamie. That email has the PayPal link. I may go ahead and just paypal the money to whatever address you had. I'm afraid if I don't it won't get shipped today either. Was the paypal request from [email]sales@margaretweis.com[/email] or another address?
#63 zombiegleemax Jul 10, 2003 12:57:07	What's this PayPal e-mail about? I had assumed it was just for people ordering with PayPal, but virtually everyone is talking about it. Everyone but me! If I did get an e-mail, I might have overlooked it in checking my mail... which could be bad.
#64 talinthas Jul 10, 2003 13:20:56	you know, its heartening to see how many people are frothing at the chance to get this book. All the internet forums i frequent seem to have DL fans coming out of the closet singing praises of this book. all, except for the dragonlance specific forums...
#65 zombiegleemax Jul 10, 2003 13:47:36	Originally posted by The Soulforged What's this PayPal e-mail about? I had assumed it was just for people ordering with PayPal, but virtually everyone is talking about it. Everyone but me! If I did get an e-mail, I might have overlooked it in checking my mail... which could be bad. They had a problem with their ecommerce site. Most of us talking about paypal originally tried paying with credit cards. They didn't recieve our payment and are now asking us to pay through paypal. Unfortunatly, many of us have not recieved the email that allows us to do that. I'm not sure if this happened with everyone that ordered by credit card or just a select few. So here we sit waiting for that email. Fortunatly, if you have ordered before the 8th then your book should be waiting to ship as soon as they recieve your payment. I guess it is hard to sell a book to someone else that was personalized for you.
#66 shugi Jul 10, 2003 14:01:41	Themeecer, check your email. :D Soul, most of us received two emails from Jamie - one should be entitled "Dragonlance Campaign Setting" (at least mine was). That email had the PayPal link on it. If you still don't have it, I'd suggest sending an email to the Margaret Weis website (visit the website if you can't find the email).
#67 zombiegleemax Jul 10, 2003 14:03:56	Ok .. I just got this email from Jaime. Chris, I apologize for the delay. I’m having to coordinate all of this while on vacation from my laptop. For all U.S and Canada orders, you’re more than welcome to go ahead and send payment for the same amount as your original order to the following e-mail address: [email]sales@margaretweis.com[/email] For International orders, I have to make some calculations, and those customers must wait for my e-mail. Thank you! Jamie Chambers Sales Manager MargaretWeis.com So no more delay. If you have recieved an email telling you that you will be recieving a paypal request and haven't recieved it yet you can go ahead and send the payment. Now I can quit bothering the guy and let him enjoy his vacation. :D
#68 darkjedi26 Jul 10, 2003 14:09:20	Thanks themeecer! I sent them paypal right away and hopefully i can get my grubby mitts on that book by early next week!
#69 zombiegleemax Jul 10, 2003 14:12:19	Any idea how long paypal takes? I hope it is instant.
#70 talinthas Jul 10, 2003 14:17:17	its the equivalent of a wire transfer, so yeah, its as instant as the guy picking up the cash on the other side. oh, and i sent mine too =)
#71 zombiegleemax Jul 10, 2003 14:25:08	Thanks for the info., Mr. Meecer. Now I know what's going on... kind of. So... Any of you order with a credit card and not get an e-mail? Come on, don't be shy. ;)
#72 zombiegleemax Jul 10, 2003 21:10:15	So how many people have already sent a PayPal payment in without waiting for a PayPal payment request? This whole thing seems so unorganized. When will Jaime come back from vacation anyways?
#73 talinthas Jul 10, 2003 22:12:44	i confess, i jumped the gun and sent money without waiting for the second email. Its highly unprofessional of me, i know. But at the same time, all of the extra money i garner over the next year will go to them anyway =) From my calculations, Jamie is due back sunday or so.
#74 zombiegleemax Jul 10, 2003 22:57:48	Originally posted by The Soulforged So... Any of you order with a credit card and not get an e-mail?
#75 zombiegleemax Jul 11, 2003 21:37:17	*bump* Sorry folks, but I really want to know. Any of you order with a credit card and not get an e-mail about Paypal?
#76 shugi Jul 12, 2003 0:16:26	Sorry man, but if you hear anything from the boards, it's probably "No". I got my email just fine.
#77 zombiegleemax Jul 12, 2003 0:19:34	Well, that's the last time I use Hotmail for anything important. I guess I'll just wait for a reply to my e-mail.
#78 zombiegleemax Jul 12, 2003 1:48:26	Well I paid without getting the paypal email. I didn't want to risk waiting anymore. And Jamie said it would be fine if I did.
#79 zombiegleemax Jul 12, 2003 1:52:02	Well I finally received a second email from Jamie with the PayPal payment request. It wasn't your typical PalPal email that you normally receive from winning an auction, but instructions on how to pay via PayPal or over the phone.
#80 zombiegleemax Jul 14, 2003 1:55:56	I got mine a couple of days ago, the day after my order shipped email
