So I'm sitting here with Dork Tower #15 in my hands, all hot off the presses and stuff.

The problem is, the first print run was slightly smaller than I'd hoped.

MANY thousands of copies smaller.

In other words, only 60 copies were printed before Dork Tower broke Brenner Printing's printing press.

Aaron Williams says that the press committed suicide upon FINALLY coming to the end of the Matt-Gilly-Kayleigh trilogy, but I believe he's being a bit cynical there.

Nevertheless, unless British Airways looses my luggage, 60 copies of Dork Tower #15 WILL be with me at Dragonmeet in London on Saturday. So everybody there who wants one will have a honest-to-goodness FIRST PRINTING. (Brenner tells me the presses should be fixed today, so what has now become the de-facto SECOND printing should go off without a hitch).

Also for Dragonmeet: I think I've got a nice little item for the Charity Auction: the first box of PokeTHULHU miniatures! Steve Jackson Games is overnighting them to me, and they'll be on display during the show. I think folks will be VERY pleased with them.

Also, Ground Zero Games will have some of their new Goth miniatures on hand. The packet includes a Perky Goth, a Mopey Goth, an Artsy Goth and a Spanky Goth, all PERFECT for playing World of Dorkness with (the free game in Dork Tower 11). Take a look at the figures over at...
