I prefer to get everything at the same time, so I chose option number two. Better to wait one or two weeks more I think, than to get a box without a game and "after years of waiting" the game itself.
Thank you for all your efforts and job. "By Gamers for Gamers" motto is alive =)). Hope Project Eternity will be one of the greatest RPG's ever. Will you open a special closed forum for backers?
