Marc's confirmation email

Anticipation is high. No confirmation email of any sort as of yet, but given not everyone has gotten one, I am not particularly concerned. Looking forward to receiving it all. :) I am amazed and humbled at the diligence displayed in this.

Envious I am. I was in the 51 dollar crew on the kickstarter so it should be soon, as well as a Beta purchaser. I won't get the book for a while as I had to wait to order that from the website.

It is just exciting, is all. I feel like a young girl again in some ways.

Mine arrived today...

And a day early, as another user noted.

I don't know if it was in every order, but I didn't get the Spinward Marches map that I've seen in some of the other posts and I pledged at the $150 level.

Also didn't get the noble homeworld I requested. Maybe there were too many requests for it.

And I'll add, that in retrospect, I am exceptionally pleased with the book, t-shirt and dice. Its nice to finally hold in my hands what even this time a year ago still seemed to be vaporware.

Goy my box today as well. According to USPS, my copy is still at Marc's place.

That book is freaking huge!!!!

My initial plan was to read the e-version on my iPad, then when the book arrived, to shift to that. Now, I'm not sure I want to lug that monster around in my work bag. :)

The dice are nice and I have three more cards. This gives me a Knight of the Iridium Throne from Core 2524 Glimmer, a Count of the Third Imperium from Reft 1302 Gorod, a TAS member from Zaru 2531 Mynos and Sir Admah MacRea from Anta 1115 Sarar. The first three require chargen, and the fourth requires modification from CT.

No map here, either - was that something Marc randomly added? I cannot remember what all I was supposed to get at $150.

It doesn't matter, though, as I'll be wrapped in T5 goodness for a while. :)

OOC, do the TAS cards have the "double-secret rule" on them?

From Update #11

Thanks to Mike Montgomery’s suggestion, we’ll include a double-secret rule on the back of the card: If the player has a TAS card, then his or her character has one as well (plus some restrictions we’ll detail out).
 
There are bound to be occasional difficulties; huge endeavor and one man doing the work and all. Keeping the fear of being overlooked firmly locked away. LOL

It is so cool to see everyone getting their stuff. :)

Back of card:

QR code, four-digit tracking number, and

"Travellers' Aid Society Members are accorded the utmost in hospitality and accommodations at our facilities throughout the known universe.
Present this card for assistance."

Lower-left-hand corner: TAS logo, matching the one on the front

The QR code on the TAS card links to a description of the card and its elements on Marc's site, as does the separate QR code on the nobility cards
 
Makes me wish I had a way to use the QR code. My cell phone is too old and low tech to do that.

There are QR Code Readers for Mac and Windows, so, yes, there is a way. You just need some way, any way, to get it on to your computer.
 
Received email shipment notification

Today (April 21, 2013) I received an email from USPS that my order is scheduled to be shipped tomorrow.

I did go to the Far Futures page in the email that Marc Miller sent and selected the refundable $1 Paypal address confirmation. Since Marc said that this would allow for email notification and/or other nice Paypal shipping options, that indeed seems to be working as expected, at least for my order.
