C&C new printing Kickstarter - with add ons!

[damned]

HH only!
I dont get on every kickstarter any more. Postage to AUS is always a MINIMUM of $50USD now which is pretty crap so usually get on every secon one and order the last one as add-ons...
Ive ordered Nordica and Runes and Familiars as Add ons...
My wife has also just issued me an ultimatum...
I tried explaining I bought these book last year but she wasnt listening....

I am in the US and got my HH as well about 2 months ago. I also am getting the new printings of the core 3 books in the latest kickstarter. I just got an email that the PHBs are shipping and that we get the C&C FG data. I am new to FG and may have to try it out.

Does it really cost $50 to send a book to AUS, or is that just what Kickstarters add on in general?

Welcome aboard Nitehood!
PHBs are shipping to US residents only as shipping is much lower domestically...

C&C on Fantasy Grounds is pretty cool. I run a C&C campaign.
Check out this short video playlist to help you get started - they are pretty amateurish but they should be useful.
Castles & Crusades

I dont know the answer... Amazon are similarly priced whilst BookDepository post for free and places like Hong Kong post for almost free.
Some companies run better kickstarters for international backers - most dont.
TMG / Michael Mindes usually manages to post mini games (yes lighter than a book but I got a 6 pack of games last year including postage for $100) for about $6 while most book publishers seem to slug us for $50....
Cant have everything... but it has reduced what I buy on KS now.

Sorry about the shipping costs to Aus Damned, I wish it was cheaper for you.

On a different topic I'm one of the lucky SOB's who managed to get one of the 300 PHB's for free RPG day. This new printing is much bigger than my older hardcover books, most of the info looks the same but there are a lot more spells and such and more CK info too. I'm really liking it. It lead me to purchase the ruleset here too. Now if I could only find a print copy of the CK guide my collection will be closer to complete!

My PHB came yesterday and I only had a chance to glance at it. But, wow!, it looks great! Much better paper than the the previous color edition, and the graphics stand out now. I didnt notice more spells, but I only got a very quick glance and will have to take a better look at it after work tonight.

Thanks for the welcome and the vids. I may get FG while its on sale.

I've never played C&C but the KS was too tempting to turn down. I've been really impressed with the team at TLG, their enthusiasm and engagement with the community. I can wait to get the PDF of the PHB, sadly the printed copies won't land for a couple of months and I'm still braced for the postage sucker punch for posting to the UK.

Oh and they recently announced that pledges of $99 upwards would get a free copy of the ruleset for FG
