Supported! Your page doesn't seem to keep a "live" total on number of backers, though. It still said zero backers even after I placed my order via the Amazon link.
Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

Its the most unique city I have seen in years. I never saw it before you made the C&C version. I'd put it up there with Bard's Gate and Ravens Bluff.

Might just be on my end, but the pdfs I extracted from the zip archive all had errors ... redownloading now.

EDIT:
PDF corruption confirmed. The zip archive is fine but the map pdfs throw up a pop-up error dialogue saying "Internal error" and don't display and the actual book yields the following messages: "Internal Error", "Cannot extract font XYZ ..." and "insufficient data for an image" and although you can read most of the text, there are quite a few display errors.

Same problem for me too. All the pdfs had internal or drawing errors and would not open for me.

Sorry for mixup! I'm pretty sure this one lands at my feet as I uploaded the files to Tim.

I've been busy skimming for the past hour or so. Great stuff so far, definitely lots of fertile ground in there and lots of stuff I can steal and integrate into my game world.

I have the old version of Bluffside, so I'm wondering what's new in this edition/version?

We added a few new POI's but not tons of new stuff, but it is nice if you play C&C since all the conversions are done for you already.

The Aristrocat class is new. Also races, classes, spells, magic items, and monsters were pulled from the old web enhancements. There is also a bunch of spells from the SRD included.

Yes, the book included miracle, the cleric's wish. Fortunately it's easily banned, just like the other wish-type spells.

Okay, thanks everyone for answering my question. I decided to order a print copy and am crossing my fingers that we reach the $4K level.

I hope so, I much prefer an HC.

I actually quite like soft cover, and preordered one but I sure hope we can hit the hard cover goal!

A quick update on Bluffside: City on the Edge. We are at about $2,255 of the 4K we need to get this great book into hardcover. We have 47 backers thus far and would love to see that up to 100. http://bit.ly/1d9C2Ic The preorder will be winding up soon, so get in while you can at these great prices and extra deals!
