That's great! Sign me up! Oh, right I just did. My confidence level was high so I splurged for the whole 12 months up front.

Just one note, the "subscription " link on the linked page returned an error (nice error page btw) however you can just click the "Traveller's Aide" link and the subscription link on that page works fine.

OK, this is now in triplicate, that should satisfy any bureaucracy. Seriously though you really want to let everybody know don't you. My next stop is the TNE list, is it there too? The suspense is killing me. How many announcements are there? Is there a contest? Like "Find all the PDF release announcements and win a High Passage ticket on the star-liner of your choice."

Nope just a brief one on the TML

Got your order, we noticed it when it came through. Hadn't even made the official announcement yet! Thanks!

Got the links fixed, thanks. Did you have any trouble with the download of the PDF?

[far-trader]

Well, I paid through PayPal so I guess I wait for the download link in your confirmation e-mail in 24-48 hrs. I'll let you know then.

Oh! Heh, I thought you went through our servers. I didn't know about that order then! Unfortunately I don't have a way to automate PayPal orders

No problem, I should've done it through your site but I wasn't sure how long it'd take to set up an account and the PayPal link was there. It does answer my questions about how you knew so quickly (somebody else) and how I could've been the first when 2 hours had passed (same somebody else). Kinda bummed I wasn't the first to storm the virtual shelf though, oh well.

We don't keep customer info at our store, so each order you'll have to fill in the order blanks. PayPal is probably faster overall for the initial order, but you get the immediate download with ours.

BTW, check your email

Thanks, I did just before shutting down the engines, and just after closing this channel, but I had to fire up the comm and check after that. Oh btw "You have mail!"

Guess I can't check that download out for you though, I'm sure somebody will let you know if its broke

Ok, you have my money as well now.

I used the online purchase and download and have a couple of comments:

1) The secure certificate on orderitnow.com expired two days ago. It didn't bother me but you should renew the certificate as some people are not so trusting (guess who used to work for an Internet Security company

)

2) The shopping cart displays shipping options even though there are only downloadable products in the cart. Confusing but at least it didn't try charging for shipping.

3) Page two of the PDF is missing. Can I get a copy that has a page two please.

Otherwise, the product looks excellent and visually it is a lot more impressive than I expected (the line drawing of weapons are almost as good as the old DGP equipment sheets).

Keep up the good work so I can get good value out of my subscription!

Mark.

Apparently my provider lost my work order request from last month to renew it. Am screaming at them now to get it done. Should be fixed soon. Sorry about that. All is still secure (as you know) just the cert has expired.

A legacy of the standard system, but you are correct, it will ignore that unless an order is actually being shipped.

Page 2 is intentionally blank. This way if you print it out double-sided it formats properly.

Download worked flawlessly.

While I have only skimmed the document, all I can say is - WOW!! If this is an example of the caliber of the T20 book, this game is gonna fly. I love that the illustrations of the weapons have a page number reference. And the layout is gorgeous.

Good job guys. I risked the 12-issue subscription, and if the quality holds, I am sure that I will NOT be disappointed.

Any list of the topics of future issues?

2 more volumes of combat - defensive stuff and military hardware. 5 volumes of vehciles incl ground vehicles, grav vehicles, etc. Adventures, ships, environments series....

And the fiction. #2 will be fiction.

Great Job! I used the 6 issue option as cash it tight now, but I will be looking for many more.

I can see some PCs running into some fool with two Salvo Intimidators with the broadside option installed in both, crossed bandoliers, laser pointers, HUD and black shades. If they kill the fool I can just see them fighting over who gets the weapons. The fun will really start when they try to use them!

 

[MJD]

Hell, I can see me *owning* one.

I suspect they'd reduce firearms crime no end if you just distributed them to the populace. The person on BOTH ends of the gun would really want to get out of the situation without shooting....

Anyone... if you like TA#1, post a review somewhere and a link to the download site. We need to get the word out if the rest of the product line is to happen....
