I screwed up. I admit it. I thought I knew what I was doing but it failed. For all those who pre-ordered you are still waiting on your books. I have them, I went in thought I knew how to fill out simple forms and well What do you know. It didn’t work like I thought. For that I apologize. I will and have been re shipping all of the preorders out again and this time it will be done right as I have enlisted some help to make sure I get it done right.

I don’t know how I messed it up I just know I did, this is the first time I have done my own fullfillment and the plan I had failed. We have a new plan and learned alot so be patient a little longer I will post again when I have information on things.

Thank you all for being so patient with me and the staff here at Heroic Journey, I am in debted and awe by your awesomeness.. Thanks to all.

Hey Guys and gals who pre ordered Mecha Hardback… Which makes you all awesome. Just wanted to let you the pre order books are coming in Today, I am supposed to go down and pick them up noonish central time and will be shipping them out by the weekend at the latest. I will need to see how my day goes and when I can spend an hour at the shippers.

For those few books over seas I will be sending them a little different and probably out Next Monday since I will be using our UK Printer and shipping them out from there it should cut down on the overseas thing by a wide margin.В  I will post again about this once all the books are shipped and I can get a better handle on how long it will take.

Thanks for being awesome guys and gals and I hope you have been enjoying the PDF.

Yes that is correct. We are back from Gen Con. I know I said in my previous post neither Chris or myself were going, but we ended up there. We had a blast. Met and talked to a great fan named Jake who already has his own SRS posted on teh Fan WIki and Chris and I got to play a little bit of it with him, had a blast. Thanks Jake for bringing awesome to the table.

Now onto a quick report. Mecha sold really well, we hist our target number and it got a ton of visibility.В  Mecha was a hot game in the Games on Demand area, thanks to Clint Krause and Chris Perrin. I do know everyone who played it wanted it so we shall see how after con sales and PDF sale pick up.

Bounty Head Bebop did fairly well as well as it does at every con it goes too. JP was there and it was so awesome to hang out for a bit with him and Bill Dodds. I was thrilled to meet the BHB crew. I met some really awesome people this year.

The Con was awesome as a whole, other bright spots for HJP was when Chris Perrin got tahnked at the Ennies.

Next year we are hoping to be there again with a lot more forwarning so fans can know where to find us.

Ok I wanted to give a quick update to all our fans on where our books will be. Unfortunatly Chris and myself won’t be there by our books will be and JP will be there. He is the Brains behind Bounty head Bebop. So go check em out and by all means PLAY!

Mecha Hard cover will be at Design Maters Booth #2100
Mecha Softcover Should also be at the show.. Design Matters Booth #2100
Bounty Head Bebop will be at IPR Booth
Blast OFF! should also be at IPR

THe following is the list of events that JP the creator of Bounty Head Bebop is running at Gen Con most of them are filled up but stop by he usually lets a few people in anyways.

THU 6:00 – 11:00 PM Bad Seed
Pulp Cthulhu in a wealthy Connecticut town, 1928. Kidnappers, baby snatching cultists, or alien abductors – what’s happening to the local children?

FRI 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM Mountain Man Mayhem
The Bounty is a Callisto Mountain Man known as Jeremiah Jackson, wanted for disrupting lumber operations and poaching. Why the corps are bothering to bring him in at all, rather than just sending in a professional to take him out, is anybody’s guess. Overall, it’s generally a bad idea to mess with the Callisto Mountain Men, but the writ is good and you need the work.

FRI 1:00 – 5:00 PM Fortune Cookie Fix
A cryptic message hidden in a fortune cookie leads the crew on a chase to capture a notorious Jovian drug lord.  The seven and a half million writ bounty on him singing its siren song across the solar system – drawing rookie and veteran cowboy alike to a silent and hidden death…  Can you track him down where everyone else has failed?

FRI 6:00 – 10:00 PM Brigands of Spider Wood
Brigands are holed-up in the old dwarven stronghold north of Spider Wood. В Legend claims a vast treasure is hidden there. В Can you defeat the brigands and discover the treasure before they do?

SAT 1:00 – 5:00 PM Don’t Spare The Lead
Having uncovered the hidden location of the system’s most powerful drug lord, the crew must now find a way into his heavily fortified estate in order to put the collar on him and get everyone out alive. В Easier said than done of course… better bring the heavy artillery, just in case.

SAT 6:00 – 10:00 PM Penguins of Madagascar Mythos Madness
Lions and tigers and tentacles, oh my!  Something stirs in New York’s Central Park; its smoky tendrils of evil even now seeping into the adjacent Zoo – home to those covert commando penguins; Skipper, Private, Kowalski, and Rico.  Can they fight back the Mythos and save the world?

Hey guys and Gals,

Just got confirmation from our printer that our shipment of books will not only arrive on time, YIPPEE!!, but actually be there early. This means Mecha is guaranteed to be at Gen Con…. I know we promised but these last minute things sometime bite ya in the butt. But, hehe, not today. Mecha is on a truck heading to an undisclosed location as we speak so it will be available Day 1 of the Con at Booth #2100, the Design Matters booth, which I can say has some amazing other books as well.

BONUS: This I can not promise BUT I am working with our printer to get a short run of Mecha Softcover to the Show… This I can not promise yet BUT I am working as hard as I can to make it happen. Again it will be a limited number (less then 30) but if it happens that means more books and more oportunity for you to get Mecha.

Thanks again to all our fans so far, Mecha is already a success and with sales continuing on an upward level it is just a matter of time before more Mecha goodies shows up, including the already long awaited Combiner rules. (Chris don’t kill me for that one)

Hi everyone, first of all, I wanted to give a big thank you to everyone who has preordered Mecha or bought the PDF.В  Right now, Mecha is the #1 hottest small press game on DriveThruRPG, which is totally awesome and I only have fans of the game to thank!

Anyway, down to business.В  First, we haven’t done a good job of articulating this, but

The Hardcover Version of Mecha is a LIMITED TIME ONLY OFFER

The hardcover version is currently available for preorder and will be available for booth sale at the Design Matters booth at Gen Con.В  However, on the Sunday night that Gen Con is over, we are taking away the option to buy by the Hardcover and we will not offer this version of Mecha as a Hardcover again.В  So, if you want a hardcover version of the game, you better act fast.

If You Have Already Preordered

You have one of two options.В  First, if you are going to be at Gen Con, let us know either by DM on RPG.Net or email us that you are going to be there and we will reserve you a copy.В  However, let us know by Tuesday, July 27.

Second, if you haven’t told us or won’t be at Gen Con, we will be shipping you your copy around the 27th.

Anyway, thanks for everyone’s support.В  Publishing Mecha has been a wild ride and we’ve loved every suggestion, every critique, every review, and everyone’s creativity as they build their own SRS.

Okay, now, go fight!

Hey everyone.

I wanted to take a minute to talk about Mecha Mid Week of its first week of release. Presales have been decent but we expect more as more people learn of the game. PDF sales have been great we are Ranked #1 on Drivethru RPG hottest Small Press game and #3 in their Overall Top 100. Over on RPGNow we are #10 Top 100. So some small victories for us.

I am excited to get Our Books to Gen Con it looks like we are just gonna make it before day one. We have a small shipment of hardback books for the con (30 ish) so once they sell we are out. We will be taking Pre Order Hardbacks for the next couple weeks but once Gen Con starts No more can be had.

I wanted to add here a BIG Thank you to everyone who has purchased Mecha. We definitly have enough to cover our Gen Con Hardcover and Our DragonCon/IPR initial Run. Its not always easy as a small press to presell enough to cover everything but Thank you all who have helped.

Mark

Ok this one is on me but for those of you who already downloaded Mecha here is the Character Sheet that was supposed to be in there. Also I have fixed the PDF over at RPGNow so it should be downloading correctly.

Thanks
