Yes. While not all projects will take that long to finish, I have set aside the next six months to get caught up on all of my late projects and shipments. A few first shipments are still left to ship. This isn't an attempt to just to push them back farther, but for me to get my head on straight and do them right. I posted a blog post that helps left folks know where I am at and how I dug such a deep hole for myself. bravehalfling.blogspot.com/2015/01/update-on-bhp.html

Well, the boxed set already contains 4 digest pages of changes & corrections from V1 to V2, so I don't see any problem making the modules the most updated. Plus, I want to be able to have them available for folks that want to get into DD even after Simon's hardcover version is released.

I am dropping the dice. Now that I think about it, if there are a few people really into Delving Deeper who would be willing to make sure the little modules I have (at least 3) are compliant with the Delving Deeper Ref Rules V3, I would be comfortable shipping them. If anyone is willing to help make sure these little modules are up-to-date with Ref Rules V3, please email me and I will find a way to show my appreciation. brave.halfling.publishing@gmail.com

From here: bravehalfling.com/update-on-delving-deeper-2nd-shipment/I apologize for not being able to reply to all of my emails and private messages in a timely manner. Please be assured that I am not ignoring you, nor have I stepped away from BHP. For the first five or so year after starting Brave Halfling Publishing, I was under-employed (and occasionally unemployed). I had all the time I needed to reply to emails and private messages on forums, print, bind, wrap, and ship products by hand in a timely manner. But for the last two years, I have been fully employed in my day job (and often working a great deal of “overtime”). It is great to know that the people of this church value my help when they go through difficult times in their lives. And I am even more pleased that I can sometimes make a difference in their lives too. But that means I must change some fundamental things about BHP – most especially going back to releasing almost everything in pdf and POD (with no deadlines, pre-orders or crowd-sourcing). Once my current projects are finished, this is the way I will operate BHP. Delving DeeperI am still shipping the last few Delving Deeper Boxed Set orders. I have learned that this shipments seem to go through less problems when I take the package to the post office, fill out the customs form and pay for postage right there. The materials for the 2nd shipment are completed. I just need to print, bind and wrap them – but that won’t be anything like the huge job it has been to put the actual boxed sets together. I know I promised all kinds of things over the years for the second shipment, but almost all of them have just not worked out. Plus, the boxed sets are already completely full and I have no intention of making folks wait months or years before receiving the second shipment. In addition, Simon has taken the game in a different direction than we had planned. Now, that isn’t a bad thing at all, but it does make me uncomfortable trying to make compatible products for Delving Deeper. The second shipment is for those persons who pre-ordered a Delving Deeper Boxed Set. The second shipment will now include a copy of the Blackmarsh map, a booklet on how to play Delving Deeper in a Swords & Wizardry: WhiteBox way and a very special Holmes Basic House Rules booklet. This booklet has a color cover and includes special art in Honor of Holmes Basic. It is exclusive to this project, is only in print and will never, ever be offered again. I hope this be something folks will like. That’s about all the time I have right now, so it is back to shipping. Thank you for your support and your supreme patience.

I am still packing and shipping the last Delving Deeper Boxed set orders this week and next.
We are just coming out of our 3rd ice storm this year. It was so bad that the local schools closed for almost an entire week. It is common for us to get ice/sleet around here, but it almost always warms up in a day or two and melts. This time, it didn't. In fact, today I awoke to 3 degrees F. It took 27 people with shovels, 15+ bags of salt and a tractor over 3 hours to clean off enough ice that we could have church Sunday.
The second shipment, of course, will go much faster (how could it not) and all of them will ship at the same time - hopefully in early March (since almost all of it is ready).

Did some people get the map with their first shipment, and the rest of us will get it with our second shipment? Yes. A few dozen went out before I realized I wasn't putting the maps in. You can also download a free pdf of the map here: www.rpgnow.com/product/89944/Blackmarsh?term=blackmarsh

Looks awesome, mine are supposed to be in the post (tho the tracking number John gave me is not working...) as a question, what size are the booklets? 6x9 like the PDFs? Or Digest like OD&D? Box planing, what will go where, thanks Yes, I am trying figure out where it went too. Nice pics. The booklets are 5.5 x 8.5 inches.

I've had some trouble with purchasing online postage this week (USPS.com site just isn't working for me), so I have used the time to do some needed maintenance on my equipment. It is supposed to be working for me again by Monday. I have shipped a few things the old fashioned way (going to the post office).
Did you know all local US post offices have unlisted phone numbers now? Me neither.

Hey, in the monster section, it describes "Wight Apes." Are they supposed to be "White Apes?"

Can't wait for the Arctic Vortex to go so he can post mine! I have tried twice today, but the USPS is not accepting paypal right now (must be a glitch). I will try again later today. I know my paypal is working because I paid an artist right afterward.

I still haven't received a tracking e-mail or a box D: hopefully soon? Email sent. It seems dizzysaxophone shares the same name as another person who ordered a DD boxed set from me. So I thought I had already sent him one.

My wait is over. I just received my Delving Deeper box set along with the first round of Appendix N adventures. Credit where credit is due, John produces a quality product. These are gorgeous! Thank you. I wish you the best of luck in future endeavors, and I hope you are able to rebuild the trust of all of your customers. Thanks, Fedup. The fog I have been in for a very long time seems to have lifted in recent weeks and I feel like "my old self again."

Rather than promise that people's copies have gone out, please promise to send tracking emails when you send out further copies. Mostly because I'm stupid enough to keep believing you when you say my copy is going out this week. Sorry, busman. I missed your order two weeks ago. Thanks foe speaking up. Tracking number sent.

It has been three months since I posted here. I felt bad at the time because John responded quickly and positively to that post. I have waited patiently...nothing. I have read his updates, his latest being that only a dozen shipments were left to go. I waited again sure that I must just be unlucky enough to be in the last shipment. I emailed John again. Nothing. John, please do me this one favor. I mean this in the best possible way. I am tired of waiting for this. It is my natural compulsion to believe that people are good. This has gone on long enough. Send me an email saying "Sorry, you will never receive what you paid for" and I will accept that and move on. In the last two years, I have purchased and received just about every retro-clone on the market. I do not need another one. I wish you the best of luck John, A Former Customer Sorry Fedup. The holidays have kept me busier than I had planned. Your order went out this week with a bunch of others. You will receive what you paid for. Again, my apologies for the terribly long wait.

If you are still waiting and do not get an email tracking number from me by the end of next week, please email me and I will ship it immediately. I did a terrible job fulfilling orders for this product, but I believe we are down to just a dozen or so left to ship. So i sent you a mail on august 31 st when you asked for a mail from everyone who still had not gotten their order and then i sent you two mails on the 17th of december (to john@bravehalfling.com and brave.halfling.publishing@gmail.com respectively) after the post above and still no reply no tracking number no nothing... what could be the reasonable explanation for this? What will the next promise be? first week of january? last week of january? february 14th to commemorate the one year anniversary of my order? Hey Robrob. Thank you for sending me the PM. I apologize for missing your email. No emails from December 17 showed up when I looked, but when I searched with your email, they both came up on December 17. Your boxed set will go out with the group going out this weekend. The same is true for Machpants, bestialwarlust and others.

Sorry Zulgyan, I didn't get the post nor your message. The quick answer is Yes and Yes. The counterspell is rougly based on Chainmail and the classical view of sorcer's duel, so it may be used every round. And the fighter can interupt the spell, like would Conan do. There's no problem that couldn't be solved by a good steel sword. There's a second edition of E&S in French, which adds spells, monsters, options, scenarios and the thief class. Hey Snorri, I downloaded the English version again yesterday and gave it another read last night. As always - great work!

Was it everyone who ordered a DD box set that was going to be getting this second box set because I have yet to see anything related to that. I did get the first box set some time ago though that is something.... Yes. Folks who pre-ordered a DD boxed set (orders before November 2012) are going to get a second shipment that will include a few, short adventures, a WhiteBox Conversion booklet for DD, a card stock map of Blackmarsh and another thing or two I cannot reveal just yet. And, for everyone who ordered a DD Boxed Set, I will print and send a set of the final Reference Rules Booklets once Simon has them ready. The winter storm has me might busy today, but we have been and are continuing to ship the remaining Delving Deeper Boxed Set orders. If you are still waiting and do not get an email tracking number from me by the end of next week, please email me and I will ship it immediately. I did a terrible job fulfilling orders for this product, but I believe we are down to just a dozen or so left to ship.

We are in the middle of a winter storm right now, but as soon as I can get the whole family home from school and work, I will get that update posted.
