That's no longer necessary  .
I just received an email from my shipping agent. It stated that the shipment of CoR into Australia arrived a few hours late.
My copy is now on its way  !!!

One thing I dont appreciate is WOTC "up yours to the FR fans" at the back of the book, it quite frankly adds insult to injury |

Well Im sure your all familar with my views on WOTC cutting 30 odd pages out of all future realms source books (so I wont start a rant about that again)ie 160 pages
Well its not a 160 pages its really 157, theres 3 pages of bloody Ads in the back of Champions of Ruins

I'll admit, those three pages of ads bugged me, too. We could've had an additional three pages of lore...
I personally don't feel that sourcebooks are the place to advertise. It simply irks the readership by making them pay for wasted pages.
A better solution, if they must use those as a vehicle for ads, is inserted, loose pages with the ads on them. That way they get their advertising without denying us pages. |
