My copy arrived today and it's one of the coolest hardcovers I've ever held in my hands!
Let me just say THANK YOU!

Alright. I sort-of complained on this thread earlier about the price point for the Compendium, but actually ordered it later on.
I received it today.
It's true. This has to be one of the coolest hardcovers I got. I am VERY impressed so far, so much so I wish I hadn't complained earlier. Reviews pending. I'll talk about it on the Citadel of Eight as well.

Great. After they are no longer for sale then suddenly everyone gushes over them. Where were you guys when the contest was going on? (Of course, I had just bought a set of paperbacks right before it was offered and probably wouldn't have been able to afford a HB at that time anyway, but ... they sound so cool!)

I had never purchased FO! before the Compendium was made available. In my defense, though I did complain about the price point, I ended up purchasing it to help everyone out. Still, apologies are in order: I apologize to Calithena in particular, and thank everyone for the great results produced with FO!
I had expectations that the Compendium would be good to very good, and I'm happily reporting that I was wrong. It's not merely good. It's awesome.

Aw, shucks.
Complaining is OK. I didn't want to charge that much, but I explained the reason - everything we do here is built around the principle that we're making a print fanzine for our community and that that should in some way always be the 'best' option economically for obtaining the issues.
Thanks to everyone who helped us win the contest!

Don't be too disappointed! We still have a victory on our hands, and I'll personally advertise Fight On! in the future. I know how word-of-mouth is important in this hobby of ours. You can count on me from now on.

You can count on my support as well. I'm kind of working on a review over on the TLG boards. When I get more time I will finish up my comments on the HC compendium, and I'll be sure to post it here too, and on ENWorld, and get someone to do it for me over at RPG.net, and everywhere else I can think of.

Awesome, Treebore! I think C&C players would find a ton of easily useable stuff in FO!, that's for sure. Reviews are always welcome, and so are you!
