The Publisher tried, but as usual, stuff (especially DTRPG) got in the way.

I'm just impressed it came out before the end of 2020!

"Due to holidays, add an extra five days to working time." 
"Due to pandemic related issues, add three more weeks to delivery times."

And it's already three weeks for Media Mail.

Not your fault in the slightest, but damn.

Still - bought. Been waiting for this one.

Thanks to the USPS, a package I ordered for delivery from a store in central Florida to my home in central Florida managed to be diverted to San Juan, PR.

That looks very interesting.  What is the story of the Last Sun, itself?  Have all others burned themselves out?  Is this the last bastion of light, in the universe?

The World of The Last Sun takes place in and around a Dyson Sphere that surrounds the last star in the universe. Also AFAIK the setting takes place in our Universe just billions or even trillions of years in the future.

The world of the Last Sun is actually a multidimensional Dyson Sphere created around the last star in a dying universe. It was created by a supercivilization that the people of the last sun only refer to as "the Ancients", and it's actually a type of vehicle. It punched its way OUT of the dying universe into an area between universes known as "the void beyond", with the intention of reaching another universe where survival would be possible. Everything was going well and the world was a highly organized society, controlled by the Ancients and their supercomputer G.O.D. and the Daemons (artificial intelligences under G.O.D.), until something terrible happened. Something attacked the world from the Void Beyond, terrible creatures the people of the Last Sun only know of as the Dark Ones.

The Ancients vanished, and the most powerful of the lesser races fought a terrible war with the Dark Ones that left the world out of control and devastated; G.O.D. was reduced to "emergency mode" able only to take basic actions, the daemons broke free and became powerful rulers of different levels of the world, becoming "patrons" to those who would serve them. Countless mutations and abominations were created in the world as a result of the attack. Most of the really great civilizations died.

That was all 10000 years ago. The average person in the Last Sun has no idea they're on a dyson sphere, this is just the world. They just know that long ago the Ancients vanished when the Dark Ones attacked in the The Great Disaster, and the world has gone to shit ever since.

That is the assumption, yes. Given that there are some things and people left that are recognizeable from our world.

Like the Lost City of Tijuana, which is found in the region known as the Shithole now for some reason. Today it's mostly populated by Sloths, who run a profitable narco-trafficking business, plus some mutants. But the King of Tijuana is still a human, or at least looks human:

Looks cool!

Thanks. I think it's a pretty good book!

Ordered my copy this morning...with the delivery time, hopefully, I'll get it for my birthday. 

Pundit, I have only glanced at the pdf for a few minutes so far.  Are there parts of the 'RPGPundit presents' that didn't make it into their respective sections in the book?

And if so, can you let me know which ones?

Well, I don't know entirely what you mean. World of the Last Sun is a compilation of various RPGPundit Presents issues, and all of the issues that are in the book are complete in the book, though a couple of them have been split up and put in different sections of World of the Last Sun for ease of use or coherence.

But if you meant "are all the Last Sun issue in this one compilation", the answer is no. This is a compilation of the issues that were most directly "setting material" of the Last Sun.

There will be two more Gonzo compilations eventually, one that will have all the Last Sun adventures, and another that will have all the special material that isn't quite setting stuff or adventures.  If I'm not mistaken, World of the Last Sun has a compilation of 13 Pundit Presents issues.

That answers my question.  I was just making sure something didn't get edited out for space constraints or the like.

Thanks

Yup, it's all complete.
