I am interested in this rulebook, but I would like to get a hard copy as well. Would you consider that option in the near future? Thanks a lot. I've tried it on multiple devices and with multiple apps on my tablet where I prefer reading RPG books , and even if I download the file, it seems every time I open it to read, it has to refresh or reformulate the images and text.

Does anyone have an idea when the physical copy will become available? According to the Kickstarter page, they are printing It does if you buy the PDF directly from Chaosium.
