By placing a pre-order below you have an opportunity to help us determine which games will reach production the quickest, and you can share in the savings realized from not having to finance the production costs.
How it works:
Once a title reaches 350 orders, we will begin graphic production and announce a publication date. You can cancel any pre-order at any time.
How to Order:
You have six options, and you can enter a number from zero to five next to each and every proposed title listed. (You may just enter '1' next to the games you are sure to order, and skip all the others, or you may rate some titles and not others.)
Use the following codes:
1. The "will buy" option. We will notify you (by email) when the game is ready to go into production, and we will list the title on the 'store order-form.' You will then officially place your payment through Paypal's secure server.
You do not need a paypal account to use the order form: any credit card will do.
2. "Will buy" Two copies. Same procedure as above.
3. "Will buy from my local brick and mortar retailer." This will give us a more accurate idea of how many games to print. (Note that OSG games are no longer available from online discounters.) We will inform you when the game begins shipping to stores.
4. "I am interested, but will need more information about the product prior to release." OSG's enews will inform you how to view the game components as they reach graphic production.
5. "I may become interested after the game comes out." In this case we will inform you when the game is published.
0. (zero) "I am definitely not interested in this project." A 'no vote' is just information: the game with the most no votes will _not_ automatically be cancelled, but high numbers here could scuttle a project. We will base our decision to print on the total picture of sales for each game.
Your Best Discount: 30%-off
OSG Games are NOT available through wholesalers or from internet deep-discounters. Your best price is via pre-order. Once the game is in print it will sell for full retail.
The final cost of a game as shown on the order form can only be estimated. We have to set the retail price based on our real production costs, which can vary. If the final retail price is higher than the estimated price below, the discount will remain 30% of the actual retail price. Note: Coupons issued by OSG (for specific $ amount) will apply on top of the 30% discount.

How to Change Your Pre-OrderIt is easy to change your pre-order. The
procedure is the same as for the first pre-order. Just enter the numbers (0-5)
next to each game as you wish.
Then, click "Yes, REVISED pre-order replaces previous order(s) entirely". We will cancel the original order(s). (It is not necessary
to query us to find out what you have already ordered.)
NOTE TO OLD GROGNARDS: We have to price the games in current dollars. We have increased the pre-pub discounts to 30% of the retail price (instead of 20%-25%). If you ordered in 1999 at a nominal dollar amount lower than 70% of the actual publication price, your discount will still be 30%.
