As this is my first post, I would like to say hello and a very big thank you to the folks at Kerberos for such an awesome game. This is a classic 'just one more turn' type of game, not to mention the obvious support for the community. A good job done all around for sure.
I originally purchased the game when it first came out here in the States and played it quite a bit. However shortly before BoB was due to be released I had some business concerns that took me away from gaming until just recently. On returning I find not just one, but two expansions have been released and also the existence of the Collector's Edition. I also have learned with some dismay that Lighthouse is no longer with us, which leads me to my questions.
First, will there be boxed versions of these products in the future, or no? I have had good luck with GamersGate and Stardock in the past, so if not I will proceed to order through them. Also, if the CE is not going to be distributed anymore, is it possible to pick up The Deacon's Tale novel outside the game? I am very interested in reading it after the brief teaser.
There are a few...very few it seems...places that still have the CE version stocked, but the price has become on the order of $70 and up. If that's the only option I have for getting the novel and the extra bits, then fine, but I would prefer not going to that if there is going to be a re-distribution of the CE in the future. Of course, things may still be too up in the air right now to call?
In any case, thanks again for the fun, and for the soon-to-be fun as I get myself back into the game!
