Is this an upcoming sale, because they aren't currently discounted?

It looks like you need to buy the PDF and the hardback or softcover as a pair, rather than just the hardcover as they mention in the Rolemaster FB announcement. Also I am not seeing anything for Cloudlords.

I apologize for the confusion. I'll contact the ICE reps for clarification. I just happened to see the Rolemaster FB announcement and brought it forward. I'm not an official ICE employee or anything, but I was excited that they were offering some SW sales.

From the Rolemaster FB page: SALE! To celebrate reaching 1000 followers we're offering $5 off hardcover copies of HARP SF(http://goo.gl/C1VkGF), HARP SF Xtreme (http://goo.gl/dQXIsW), Shadow World Cloudlords of Tanara (http://goo.gl/vMftfR) and Shadow World Emer III (http://goo.gl/Saew4U)

Got edits back and working on those and the Gyrphonburgh town layout. So this module should hopefuly offer a lot of options for SW GMs... and even beyond SW to any Rolemaster GM, as Grypohonburgh could provide a nice site for a series of RM adventures.


On a personal note, Emer III is on track to be an Electrum pick on RPG Now, and with the new sale...!  That would make your humbler SW author so happy. Nothing like knowing that a previous work is popular to spur him on to keep writing, you know?

I turns out that the sales are only through certain links. Stay tuned and hopefully we can give you more details.

Yes, it looks like the goo.gl links you posted go to the offers.

There is a Thule Air Force Base in Greenland. Guessing that sounds extremely similar.

There was also a Space:1999 episode where they visited a planet called Ultima Thule, inhabited by Brian Blessed.

[NicholasHMCaldwell]

Best wishes,

Oooh, nice I have them on PDF, but maybe I should pick them up now in hard copy...

[Valkrist]

Took advantage of that and just ordered my hardcover copy. 

[egdcltd]

Ordered hardcovers of both. I'd planned to get hardcopies at some point, and seeing as the hardcovers are the same price as the soft, thought now would be a good time to pick them up. Still need Cloudlords in PDF, though. Maybe later. Say, has Cloudlords gone up a level? I didn't think it was Silver before on RPGNow.

[Colin-ICE]

You are absolutely right it has! Good spot egdcltd!

Thanks to everyone for supporting the product and of course to Mr Amthor for creating it.

WooHoo!

[Terry K. Amthor]

Thanks to all who took advantage of the sale! And yes egdcltd it did pop up to silver; I thought I saw that too, good eye! Yay! Now if we can see Xa-ar and Emer III into Electrum... Remember to review, everyone.

Gryphon Inn is now basically waiting on graphics (illustrations and my final town layout) and it will be ready to go for final approval. Maybe a few weeks? Meanwhile, I am making a major push on Eidolon since it is the closest to being done, and then Emer II. Emer I is going to require some major map work (those old maps form the first edition are not acceptible).

[Terry K. Amthor]

An additional note about revisions... I know from polls that people understandably want to see new material, but we also want to get old out-of-print SW material back out there in a new digital and POD (print on demand, paperback and hardcover, all in full color) format, with lots of colors maps and illustrations to make that color worthwhile (not just some repeating page borders) and with some new material to give the new editions some (I hope) additional value. So, I have added many pages worth of new material to all sections of Eidolon, and struggling with many new adventures (my bane). Simultaneously, Emer II is undergoing a huge overhaul, with more useful maps, timeline updates, and lots of all new adventures (the old Emer II basically had none; frankly it was a mess).

So, please be patient, share the love of Shadow World and Rolemaster with your gaming friends, and live long and prosper!

To buy Xa-ar, I'd need to get the hardcopy as a discount. I originally bought the PDF (from the store on this site, I think, as it doesn't show on my RPGNow account) and printed it out and had it bound myself, so I'm probably not going to buy another hardcopy version at full price.

Totally understandable; PDFs alone are sometimes the best option depending on people's budget or need. And you got it printed, cool! Purchasing any version counts as a sale, and you have our thanks.

The quality of RPGNow's PoD stuff is vastly superior to mine, I will say.
