Hi Talarius

Welcome to the forums!

I´ve just been catching up on emails so you should now have had a response. The competition ran from 21 March to 9 April, so any entries after that date have sadly not been entered. However, I promise there will be future opportunities to win/obtain bookmarks.

I pre-ordered my book on April 26th and emailed inquiring about bookmarks. Reading this thread, it looks like I missed out by about a month. Oh well. Still looking forward to receiving the book!

Thanks for getting back to me Michael...I knew I should have ordered two copies right at the start!!

What are the chances that you might pop into Scotland for one of your signings?

Also, speaking of signings, any chance there might be some signed copies of the Hardback edition available to purchase? Maybe you could put some up for sale on Amazon as a Marketplace seller?

You could just simply add them to the current Amazon listing, but list them under "Collectable" (maybe with one or two Bookmarks thrown in too, to add to the collectability ), and they will just run alongside the regular Amazon sales, and be purchasable from that page.

Probably a lot easier than listing them on Ebay.

Good luck with the sales,

Cheers,
Kevin

Hi Kevin

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Yes, sadly the competition is now closed. At this point I´m not sure what the opportunities will be for getting hold of the bookmarks in the future, but rest assured that there will be ´some way´of getting them.

In terms of the near future, I´ll be giving them away at my signing events, if that helps. (I´ll be posting details on locations and dates in the next couple of weeks).

Hope that helps, and glad you like the bookmarks. They are pretty cool, I agree!

Cheers
M

Yes, I got my two bookmarks the other day too (Vampire's Bite & Book of the Dead), and they are so cool I was going to order a 2nd book to get the other set.

Maybe Michael can confirm whether or not this is possible?

Cheers,
Kevin

I believe the competition is over, but DaBoss will have to verify that. I just got mine the other day, and they are slick.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were other opportunities for obtaining them.

Just wondering if it is too late to pre order th Hardback version and get a couple of these fantastic looking bookmarks?

Thanks,
Kevin

I ordered mine from Book Depository, freud. I couldn't find any way to pre-order from Amazon US either.

I couldn't find the hardcover on there either. I'll double-check with my editor about its availability - although, for now, it would be through Amazon marketplace sellers anyway.

You might want to check out my buy page for links to Book Depository, who have free worldwide shipping.

Will we have the ability to pre-order in the United States? I didn't see the new version on there. Do you know when it will be available?

Mmmm, hard cover!!!!

Still some bookmarks looking for good homes, if you want to pre-order the hardback or the paperback.

Yes, two of the items are magic focused, the other two are brawn.

I went path of light. I was torn but Beacon looks promising for my mage and always on the look out for an upgrade to my warrior gloves. Not sure what the Vampires Bite will offer in terms of abilities and stats. I am working off the assumption that there is one mage and one warrior/rogue item per selection?

Glad I was able to justify it.

Now, what does that say about your fans if so many are all following the Path of Shadow ;)

In time, so don't worry! (Path of Shadow proving a popular choice)

I'll leave the over-powered builds to the fans. They seem far more inventive with the potential combinations than I could ever be! Looking forward to seeing the builds for heroes post LoS special edition and HoF. (There are some killer combos I am discovering in HoF that I never factored initially but now I'm playtesting leave me thinking, wow... awesome destruction!)

@Tisamon - At least you tried. Guess we'll have to wait a little longer for those stats.

@Da Boss - You know that we'll have to create a character with all the best equipment (when we know what it is) in the future, right? Muahaha!

Actually, you've probably done that. How overpowered is this fabled character?

@Tisamon
Give you the stats? Now where is the fun in that ;-)

Rest assured that all the items are powerful (while remaining balanced, he adds quickly). Book of the Dead has a new ability from the Special Edition. Beacon of Faith and Gallant Defenders both have two abilities each.

You would not be disappointed.

Grr... I'm having trouble justifying doing a preorder atm. Sigh. Times like this where I wish I was a poor college student who didn't know any better

Cool! Can we get the stats and abilities for the items? Pretty please?

The first official DestinyQuest competition has now gone live. There are four collectible bookmarks up for grabs - and trust me, I've seen them and they look fantastic, so they're well worth the effort!

So, head over to the news page and 'decide your destiny' and some rare loot could be yours! Rejoice!
