 Posted: Thu Dec 13, 2012 1:17 am Post subject: Rippers availability |
 |
|
| I was wondering if Rippers is OOP and when it might pop back into print? Heard there may be an Explorer's Edition coming out -- would honestly prefer the HB, but EE would be OK too. Sundered Skies also seems a bit scarce (though that one at least is being sold by Studio 2 at the moment). |

Rippers is current not in physical print, but the original book is available as a PDF.
An update for Rippers is being worked on, but the most aggressive timing information I can offer is that it's "in the queue," which means there will be timing information of any sort released until it's way, way closer to finished.

| Thanks a ton for the speedy response, jpk, will seek a HB copy on the secondary market -- I'm just not a huge fan of PDFs. |

You're welcome, and I understand.
If you're running into a problem finding a hard copy at a reasonably price, I think I know where a copy or two might be. Send me a PM. |

Is the version of Rippers by Prometheus Games (found some copies of it in the $40 range) a German language printing, or are they just re-printing in English for the European market over there?
jpk, still trying to track one down -- eBay is out, Amazon has starting at $100+ (yeah, I'll wait for the reprint on that one). Will send a PM if I continue to be unsuccessful, I appreciate the offer. |

Used for $87!
$120, $200, even up to $450! Ridiculous!
I can not imagine how any of these books sell, or how they can price them like this.

| I think for what preowned copies of this are fetching, you're better off buying the PDF, printing it out yourself and having it spiral bound. I know I could probably do that for under $40 and I'm in a market where it's fairly expensive for binding services. |

I don't think they sell. I read somewhere that many re-sellers on Amazon use programs to price their items -- based on other re-sellers, interest in the item (clicks), etc. There is just no way a used copy is going for $450. Not to knock Pinnacle, I love their work, but... =) |

Does the "license" of the PDF allow this? If so, yes, this is probably the route I would take short-term. Thanks! |

All of our current PDFs include a printing permission statement (which generally has its own bookmark) stating "Pinnacle Entertainment Group grants permission to print this document, in whole or in part, for personal use. Any electronic distribution is strictly forbidden."
So, yes, you're welcome to print a copy for your use. If you run into an older PDF that doesn't include a similar statement and you have a problem with your local print shop, please let me know and we'll see about updating that PDF to include the permission.

You may have to settle for black and white though, my local Staples, the only print shop near me, charges a dollar a page for color.

I just bought the Slipstream PDF from DriveThru and I don't see this statement... am I just missing it? |

Whatever PDF's I've bought from drivethru have my user account name and order# written on to the bottom left of pages. If a service bureau isn't willing to print it out, just point that ownership mark out to them. |

That would fall under those older PDFs Joel mentioned. I'll pass it along for him to check that one.

I've been patiently awaiting the new version of Rippers or some info as to the release but am thinking it is going to be a LONG time at this point.
It is a shame because Rippers is one of my very favorite setting for SW. I'll just have to keep using my old stuff. |
