We have paid a few, and will continue to refund anyone who pre-ordered until there are no more pre-orders, or the book is out.<br />If anyone needs to contact me about WotA, it's owen.stephens@gmail.com.Owen Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07160526545330543825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-90351815611808578782016-07-30T20:06:55.736-04:002016-07-30T20:06:55.736-04:00Keeping up the illusion is one way of not getting ...Keeping up the illusion is one way of not getting taken to court.

While he was a jerk and condesending to other designers I still have respect for him. He should just make a public statement and gracefully retire. He can make Far West a creative commons game and let his fans finish it. I would love to get the BB license for TSR to publish, but I think the license at this point is his Linus blanket.
