Book 6: Utterly Dwarfed (+2020 Calendar) now w/ reduced shipping to Europe + Canada

[The Giant]

Warning for anyone expecting a pre-ordered PDF download in, uh, two minutes: I had some technical difficulties uploading the Utterly Dwarfed file and I'm not 100% certain this is going to go off without a hitch.

If anyone successfully downloads the file and can look at it, please post here and let me know. Also, include whether or not the watermark is on the front cover (since that was one of the technical sticking points).

Thanks.

My PDF order is still showing up on Gumroad as "pre-order - your card hasn't been charged yet", as of right now.

EDIT: Also, per your tweet, I have not received a download link in my email and my card still has not been charged. (Something similar happened the last time I tried to pre-order from Gumroad, and I had to cancel the pre-order and just buy it once it was released.)

[The Giant]

It takes them a few minutes to work through all the pre-order charges, usually.

I wasn't going to "me too" on this, but I do have additional information; I'm getting this from the My Library page as well, but on the book's page, at 11:00 CST the buttons were "Purchase again" and "Download" (with the download button not working), and now those have been replaced with "I want this!" The change appears to have occurred after getting an email from Gumroad asking me to confirm my email address.

[Ruck]

I'll check again in a little while. (I had problems getting the GDGU pre-order to work as well, eventually having to cancel it and just buy the release.)

[Lord Torath]

We'll see if that means no calendar next year, or if I find a comparable alternative printer.

I really hope you can find a good alternative (if not, despite my "eeks" above, I'm pretty I will suffer no lasting harm if there's no calendar).

What are the chances of adding a Apron option to the Tarquin: "You can't make an omelette..." shirt?

Thanks!

[The Giant]

They're still charging these on my end, so it looks like it's going to take longer than normal. Possibly because I'm doing two pre-orders at the same time.

I don't really know what to do with this; they may have canceled your pre-order for some reason?

It was still listed as a pre-order in my library, with a note saying the card was not yet charged. As of now, card has been charged, it's in my library as purchased, and the main page has it registered as purchased. I'm going to chalk that up to website weirdness that is beyond my knowledge, it's all cleared now.

Also, it downloaded fine, but I'm not seeing the watermark on the cover.

ETA: The digital calendar does have the watermark. The book does not.

[Ruck]

I got my link to the spell calendar a few minutes ago. Still awaiting the book link.

[Armitage]

I've got an email with a download link for the calendar. I then went to my library where I could download the book. The book is without the watermark.

I found an error in the book: Page 3 lists "Civil Servant" as one of the prequels. Is this a companion story to "Uncivil Servant" from somebody else's POV? ;)

[Alish]

Feedback: I bought the book on gumroad but not the calendar. I haven’t gotten any email yet, but my card was charged 5 minutes ago, so I took it as a cue to check the website and the book was available for download. No bookmark on the frontpage.

[The Giant]

Has anyone actually gotten an email for the book? As opposed to going to your Library and looking for it.

The calendar seems to be going smoothly, probably because it's a lot smaller and a lot fewer people ordered it. So far, no evidence that anyone is getting a book download link in their email.

No. No email for the book.

[Ruck]

I also did not get an email for the book, but I finally got to check my library again a few minutes ago and it was available.

[Peelee]

Got the book email at 12:55 CST.

[Ornithologist]

I'll second that book does not have the watermark on it.

Book PDF lists the title on page 4 of Belkar's story as "Civil Servant," not "Uncivil Servant."

Wait, is Uncivil Servant included as part of Utterly Dwarfed? I must have missed that in the initial announcement...not that I'm complaining, of course! Love more OOTS whenever I can get it.

On another note, my physical copy of Utterly Dwarfed arrived, though it unfortunately went to another house (as I was living there at the time). Thankfully, I'm on good terms with the current tenant, and they are sending me the book ASAP. The anticipation is almost too much to bare!

No. Page 4 lists the OoTS books and stories.

Now I'm worried my address change didn't go through. Did you request they change the address?

[The Aboleth]

No. My move was very recent, so I assumed it was too late to change my address.

No. Page 4 lists the OoTS books and stories.

I see. Thank you!

No email for the book (the calendar yes).

Edit: Also confirm: no watermark on the book (the calendar yes).

I got an email with a link to the calendar, but not the book.

[Alish]

I am afraid that there might be something wrong with comic 991, side b, in the gumroad pdf. Specifically, the comic bubbles are still there, but the page is otherwise dark.

It’s showing up fine for me; maybe just give it a bit of time to load.

Yeah, I've had some loading issues so far (the file is twice as big as Blood Runs in the Family!) but everything seems to look OK, stray typo here or there aside.

Unfortunately that does not work for me. The pastels in the other books are fine. But since it show to you, the problem is probably on my end.

Not just the PDF - I see the same thing in the printed book.

[Alish]

Typo: on page 136 of the pdf, Serini’s surname is spelled as Moortuck.

No, the reason you can't order a physical calendar is that we sold out. That is, we placed the order two weeks ago for quantity X, and between that time and now the number of orders reached that quantity. I don't know why the Sold Out banner is so faint like that, it's probably a holdover from another site design scheme.

Okay, thanks.
