Preorders open for It’s Complicated revised
I’ve been working quietly on an expanded, revised edition of It’s Complicated for quite some time now, in anticipation of being a guest at Anime North next month. I’d been thinking I’d debut it there, but in order to help fund the print run, I thought I’d give you guys first crack at it.
What’s different?
It incorporates a lot of the notes and advice given in the Online Play Edition, as well as new insights, tips, and techniques on playing the game. The board is completely redesigned and easier to follow, and the layout is cleaner and simpler. The entire book is beautiful full-color, with great anime-inspired illustrations. Finally, there’s a thorough section at the end of the book listing all kinds of media that inspired It’s Complicated and how each fits with the game itself. (Wanna know how to play Fight Club with It’s Complicated? This is the edition for you!)
What’s the same?
None of the rules have changed, and it’s got the same super-cute 4.25″x7″ form factor (although it’s now perfect-bound instead of saddle-stitched). This edition just makes the rules themselves clearer, and expands the ideas of what you can do with it, using real-world examples.
Cut me a deal, E!
Okay, here’s your deal. Since it’s full-color, expanded, and perfect-bound, it will be sold at the con and after for $20. People pre-ordering through me can buy it for $16, or the PDF for $10. If you already purchased either the original book or the Online Play Edition, I’ll take another $4 off of those prices— making the book $12 and the PDF $6.
Where do I buy it?
Here! Just choose from the options below.
Are you going to be following the Evil Hat formula, and give away the PDF to those who by the hardcopy book? It seems to be a seriously winning strategy across the board, and I would certainly enjoy having PDF for my reference, regardless.
Will I be able to try or buy this game at GenCon?
Alex: I thought long and hard about it, but I’m already discounting the prices so heavily that I don’t think it makes financial sense for me.
Noumenon: hopefully, I might have sold out by then. If I do have it, it’ll be in my backpack or at the IPR booth. I’ll be at the Design Matters booth selling Blowback, but the booth only sells new games. (I’m not sure if new editions count.)
