You heard me, we'll be there, with a booth, and Erin Bennett and Andrea Parsneau will both be there so if you see them say hi from me! (But don't bother them too much obviously.)

It's the first convention that we've ever attended, and I say 'we' in that I'm not going to be there. Or if I ever am at a convention I'll be in stealth-aba mode, rolling around, hiding under boxes, and never admitting I'm there till after the fact.

Rather, we'll have that booth with advertising for The Wandering Inn, including sneak peaks at stuff so check it out and say hi if you're in the area! I do want to go to a convention sometime before I die, and I've heard Dragoncon, Worldcon, and LitRPG con discussed among others. Maybe someday. For now, look for 'Damien' at the booth and be nice to him or else!

Lastly, thank you to everyone supporting the pre-order campaign! It's working--we're climbing in levels week by week, and we can see jumps in the numbers whenever you all talk about it, so hopefully this will be another moment!

If you're attending the LitRPG con or are in the area, come by! (Also you should see some amazing art we'll hopefully have printed to mark us. You'll know it when you see it.)

Only time ive ever regretted not living in america

John Koor

Okay. Your secret is revealed. Andrea is obviously Pirateaba. PA/AP. They are never seen at the same time.

Martin Illsley

Sneak peek. A peak = the top of a mountain.

Matt Steinberg

Wheee! I'm now super excited to go and great news about the preorder numbers.

Daniel Lemus

Wish I learn sooner, I'll try to go next year😢

Mavakor

That is so cool. I hope you’re able to do a Wandering Inn Event in the UK someday

Robert Mullins

One day the world will finally have enough proof to show that pirateaba is actually 100 monkeys with type writers and a very dedicated editor overseeing them.

Froyo Baggins

Why wasn't this announced earlier...I could've arranged to go. it's so close before the con, I can't go now. Was this last minute planning or something?? Either way, sad I'm missing it. You guys should do other cons too and announce it ahead of time!--Froyobaggins' wife

In that case, I love that we live in the singular universe out of infinite possibilities where the monkeys have written The Wandering Inn successfully

Y'know, you probably could have taken payment on your store and then ordered the books in bulk and dropshipped/fulfillment serviced on release day. Like any small book store, just online only.. Then you get part of the retail costs back with only minor effort.. A bit extra overhead to research and set up the first time. But you've got another 40+ of these coming... It's worth the effort or delegation.

Caladim

Hype! I'll be sure to stop by!!!

Matt

The one in denver?

Ian Jones

I mean.. thats amazing. Is it the one in three days? Wish i could. make sure you dont pull the classic mistake of baseball hat and sunglasses for stealth aba… that screams “ secret celebrity “ good luck and congratulations!

Ashley (Zanthe)

Yay! Can’t wait to see you guys there!

Sara Sioux

I will be there!!! Can’t wait to buy everything and see Andrea and Erin! So excited to show off my TWI costume this year. ❤️❤️❤️

NGL, I was walking around in public and I overheard people talking about Dungeon Crawler Carl and making "God Damnit Donut" references. And I was like. "Dam, Kinda happy for PirateAba but I kinda want to gatekeep". I hope it doesn't devolve into a weird fanbase. But the shippers and furries are already here. O_O

ThatOneGuy

Awwww... I looked at the con, and specifically looked for TWI/PA, and decided it wasn't worth it to fly in. Now only Sunday tickets are available. :(

randy

Nah. Never seen Pirate and Batman in the same room, same time. Pirate is Batman!

-Sanguine-

I wish pirate would be there but I do love the whole anonymity vibe she has going on

Dalin Nichols

Tickets are already sold out on the website. Lol sad day

Chiqui Joy

No, **I** am Spartacus!

Chiqui Joy

Or she will pull a Jason and sit in the back and yell out vague criticisms of TWI to elicit responses. That would be hilarious!

Kiffyb23

Apologies, if this isn't the right place to ask. Can someone advise how to find the link for discord?

Frostlion

Go to the membership tab near the top of this patreon page, then scroll down (a fair bit) to find the discord link.

Ben H

Which would be a great way to sell books to existing website visitors and a terrible way to bring in new visitors through traditional retailers.

Brenda Harmon

If you come to DragonCon, I’ll be cosplaying Bird for the second year in a row!

Francine Mills

This made me snort. I’m from the U.S. and couldn’t agree more lol. I’m currently visiting London and for a moment when this was posted I had regret to be away.

Geoff

I hope it’s a really great experience for the wandering inn team! I am busy during litrpgcon - which appears to be happening… now ish? Gosh, I hope you today went well!

Terry Parry

I wish there was more heads up. I'd have totally flown out to Denver.

Impanickin

She's telling us she's hiding under boxes so she can hide in the ceiling guys, don't fall for it!

awkwardpaws

That wouldn't stop it from being published on traditional retailer sites, and since they'd be official publisher copies the sales still count towards the NYT best seller goal. They just wouldn't lose 80% of the price to the retailer. And since most people buy ebooks these days anyway it would put only a tiny dent in per-retailer lists since they'd keep the monopoly there. Giving up most profit to slightly nudge a per-site algorithm is *one* strategy, it's just not a very good one.

Went to LitRPG Con and did my best Bird impression for Ms Erin...before I realized it was Ms. Erin. I think I'm still a bit embarrassed.
