2019 OOTS Magic Item Calendar, Holiday Ornament, and New T-Shirts!

[EnvoyPV]

I miss the round ornaments.

I know this is a busy time of the year - and I am not looking to pester / stress you - was wondering if you had been able to arrange anything to allow us to order the older Calendar PDFs (bundle or even individual).

My thanks - in advance!

Hi Rich,

I ordered the holiday ornament, as I do every year and honestly didn't pay much attention to the order other than "Ornament? Yes. Buy!" However, when it arrived I noticed that the design has the year 2019 on it. Then I went back to cafe press and double-checked, and the image does in fact show the image with the year 2019 on it, even though your preview image in this thread shows 2018.

Might bear looking into.

Rich,

Will there ever be a Law mug/shirt/etc. like the ones you did for Good, Chaos, Evil and Neutral? I do apologize if I'm stepping on any toes by asking this.

[theorclord]

Soo this might be an odd question.
But is it possible to acquire the 2018 version of the calendar?
A digital or a printed version :)

By any chance, will there be a PDF bundle of Calendars of Years past? Would love to round out the whole collection :)

Yeah, I'll see what I can do.

It is possible.

Whoops, I forgot about this. They're up now; you can buy last year's calendar or the previous four (2014-2017) as a bundle, all at 30% off.

However, I’d like to inform you that the “2014 OOTSCalendar DigitalEdition v1.pdf” ’s back cover is that of the “2015_OOTSCalendar_DigitalEdition_v1.pdf” one. Would you, please, send me / make available the correct back cover / calendar?

This is now live, too. Just go to the page with the calendar bundle here and you should be able to re-download the files, with the 2014 correction. If that doesn't work, log in and check your Library.

Oof. Yeah. That's not good.

This is entirely my fault, it looks like. I originally set it to 2019 because my brain was frazzled and I had just finished working on the calendar, which uses the upcoming year's date. At some point, I noticed the problem and fixed it...and then promptly made the actual ornament from the wrong file. The preview picture here was the right file, but not indicative of what I'd given CafePress.

The upshot is, this is my error not their's. But it's an error on everyone's, and due to the way CafePress works, I can't send everyone fixed versions even if I was willing and able to absorb the cost—they just don't have an option for "send everyone who ordered this item another one." So rather than fix it and have two different versions floating around with different years, I'll just leave it as-is and maybe starting next year I'll put 2020 on it. Turn it into a New Year's Ornament. There's already a gap for 2012's battle ornament anyway.

Anyway, sorry about that.

Every year, I think about it, and every year, I realize I don't have any characters that represent Law without being more Good or Evil than Lawful. The most hardcore Lawful character in the strip is probably Malack, but he's so definitely Evil that it would change the meaning of the shirt. Same goes for Tarquin or Gontor or, on the other side, Celia or Durkon. After that, you've got, what, Jones & Rodriguez? Eh.

At some point, I'll either have a new LN character or maybe I'll think of an angle on an existing Lawful character that doesn't get overshadowed by their Good/Evil axis. Until then, it'll have to wait.

[The Giant]

Oh! I almost forgot why I came here in the first place:

The physical calendars are running about two days behind schedule but they're on the truck heading to Ookoodook right now. They should arrive tomorrow, and shipping notifications could start as early as tomorrow night and go through the weekend.

EDIT: There are also approximately 135 physical calendars that are not already spoken-for, so it's almost certainly going to sell out this year, probably before Christmas. If you want one, you should place your order now.

If I may be so bold, might I suggest the dwarven lesser deity (or his Cleric representing him, anyways) that's holding up the godsmoot and risking dooming the world over his oath?

Don't feel bad, it happens to me, too!

Woo hoo! Glad I got my order in early! I can hardly wait!

Thanks, Rich!

By popular demand :D

Thank you for posting these - I picked up the whole lot (and eagerly awaiting the 2019).

To echo Durkon's sentiments, you are the best ;)

[The Giant]

Just another update:

Everyone should be getting shipping emails today-ish, with the calendars hitting the mail before the end of business in Houston (where Ookoodook is). You can now download your PDF calendars if you pre-ordered, and if you want to buy a PDF you can download it immediately.

Also, there's about 50 paper calendars left before we sell out, so if you still want that and were waiting for whatever reason, now's the time.

In April, what's the black spot on the side of Xykon's skull?

[Joerg]

Beautiful and amusing. As good as the other calendars

In April, what's the black spot on the side of Xykon's skull?

An ear hole perhaps?

[Peelee]

An ear hole perhaps?

He doesn't have it in the strip or the smaller panel below, though. Do skulls have ear holes?

The large picture may just show more details. And yes, they do.

Very nice calendar (again, I couldn't wait and looked at every month) - I especially liked the Sphere of Annihilation and the Gauntlets of Ogre Strength.

O-Chul continues to radiate awesomeness. All is as it should be.

[Mazlynn]

Has anyone getting physical copies gotten their shipping notification yet? I haven't seen anything. :( Once again made the mistake this year of forgetting to separate out the preorder from all the other stuff I wanted to buy, so the whole order is waiting on the calendar, which may be part of the delay...

[Grey_Wolf_c]

I have already received the shipping notification.

[infinityman]

I got my shipping notification, but USPS tracking still says "pre-shipment".

Wasn't it last year that a box of calendars were left somewhere and never actually delivered to USPS?

[Lord Torath]

I received my shipping information email yesterday. Still in the "pre-shipment" phase.

[Rogar Demonblud]

Last year I got mine before the tracker moved off of 'pre-shipment', apparently because the software can't keep up this time of year.

[Jaxzan Proditor]

I got my notification yesterday. Shipping label says it is in transit and should arrive by Monday!

If they are presorted by zip-code they may not be individually scanned where dropped off but thrown together into the appropriate long-distance bin. Might not get scanned until they need more specific routing at a downstream facility.

Ookoodook sold out of the printed calendar at some point during the day today, so it's now PDF or nothing if you still want it.

[Sprainogre]

Is there any chance for a second print run, or is my only recourse the digital version? Thanks!

[Peelee]

Digital only, most likely. Calendars are incredibly time-specific items, and without even knowing the scales required, Id bet that a second print would result in a lot of unsold stock that would at best sell only at heavily discounted rates well into 2019 and beyond, and at worst be a reminder of why not to second print calendars.

Given the lead times for these things (and the fact we're in a holiday period), it might even be the case that a second print run wouldn't produce anything until well into the New Year!

gaddang i want some of those baby shirts for my niece and nephew.

but combined that's $44, and in Canadian money that's $60. I don't think i can afford that
