Lots of people have expressed an interest in buying books from me at PAX. The concern is that books are heavy, and I don’t want to carry around ten books just to sell one. If you want a book, please let me know in the comments.
The two places you will find me, for sure, are:
Friday 10:30pm, Wyvern Theatre – The Escapist Movie Night
Saturday 10:00pm, Naga Theatre – An Evening with LoadingReadyRun
I might be found at other places and times, but these are your two guaranteed meetups. If you want a book, it would be super-nice if you could tell me which day so I don’t run out or over-pack.
Netscape 1997
What did web browsers look like 20 years ago, and what kind of crazy features did they have?
Object-Disoriented Programming
C++ is a wonderful language for making horrible code.
Civilization VI
I'm a very casual fan of the series, but I gave Civilization VI a look to see what was up with this nuclear war simulator.
Shamus Plays LOTRO
As someone who loves Tolkein lore and despises silly MMO quests, this game left me deeply conflicted.
Batman v. Superman Wasn't All Bad
It's not a good movie, but it was made with good intentions and if you look closely you can find a few interesting ideas.
I would be interested in buying a book there.
Would you get more money if I bought a book from you there or purchased for Kindle?
Book. The books I sell directly are the most profitable. Of course, I have to pay for them up front, ship them, carry them, store them. So it only makes sense to do this at cons.
Pardon me for saying this, but such a convoluted setup surely sounds like a *puts on sunglasses* con. *banjo solos all around*
Sir, please step aside for a beating. *Twirls baton*
Then I would be interested in purchasing a physical book.
I’m still debating between a copy for my iphone, or a physical book. What does a hard copy cost? Either way I’ll be at PAX and would like to meet you :)
I’d buy a book if I were you. I love my new book it’s now my favourite pet. I think my rock has gotten jealous, I keep finding it on top of booky in the morning. The other good thing is it’s so heavy that I’m pretty sure I could kill a man who tried to burgle my house with it, also it would make Shamus the most tired person at Pax East.
TEAM BOOK!
You may as well plan to bring as many books as you can humanly manage, because it still won’t be enough…
This is probably true. PAX is huge.
That said, I’ll be bringing my own copy and trying to locate you to get it signed.
I’ll probably be at LRR on Saturday- I’d be interested in buying a book off you if I see you there!
I’d be interested in buying a book. I’ll be at both of those panels, so I’d likely be buying one on Friday.
“9.5 comments. 9 comments, plus someone is typing _right now_”
I’d not seen that one before. I love the comment count indicators, I love how each one seems to come up more often than you’d expect.
Wait, does this count as a pre-order? If so, will we get a better pre-order pack if we go through Heather instead?
I want my Witch Watch Bookmark DLC and Reading Flashlight activation code.
Please consider buying the Day 1 DLC I released with the book. It’s a handful of pages you stuff in the middle and it adds a whole new adventure that is never discussed or referenced later and has no impact on the resolution to the story.
I’ll only buy it if the setting is a suspiciously spacious sewer.
The DLC is set in
two different locations: The first half is under the North Sea, in the year 1376 AD. The second half occurs entirely within Lord Babbage’s wife’s bedroom’s closet’s lock’s second cylinder.EDIT: Wait… that was the ‘hot coffee’ fanfic mod that I unlocked, the DLC is actually
a primer on exactly how different a slightly elliptical sorcery circle is, and why one would want to use one for certain purposesI’d actually pay for that last item.
Speaking of resolution, all the pages I turn better have an impact on how the last ten pages turn, otherwise what’s the point?
If you don’t turn all the pages first, the last ten pages don’t make a lot of sense.
Does that count?
Book for me please. Escapist Panel, Friday.
Is it too late to get the Collectors Edition?
The collectors’ edition costs twice as much and looks exactly the same, except I write “Colector’s Edditon” on the front. Over the logo.
More seriously, look forward to seeing you again this year.
Perhaps you could shed a little blood, sweat or tears (readers choice) on each “Collectors Edition”?
if I bring my regular edition and a sharpie, will you upgrade me?
“#1 colect[e|o]rs Editionn” actually. I can make a strong case for that letter being an Echo or an Oscar.
I was so worried I was going to accidentally spell it right, thus ruining the joke. I’m glad it was wrong enough.
I’d like to buy a book. I’ll be at the Escapist panel (and most of the panels you’re going to on Friday – it’s like you copied my schedule).
“Long time reader, first time poster” :D I’m interested in buying a book … hopefully I’m not too late! I’m planning on making it to the Escapist Movie Night and the LoadingReadyRun panels.
Y’know, given some advertising, I’m pretty sure you could sell hundreds of books thee. Right target audience, and all that. But I don’t suppose you intend to live from con to con like a webcomic artist :-P
That aside: is there any way to influence Amazon’s amount of books in stock? I was going to buy 2 or 3 from amazon.de, but claim to have just one in stock – one book had a delivery date of 3 days, 2 book s had a delivery date of 3 weeks… Eh, I’ll wait for the price drop to buy the gift versions ;-)
