シメジシミュレーション・Shimeji Simulation 🍄 (Beginner Book Club)

To simplify the editing of the thread’s OP, maybe it would be helpful if the same person posts the thread AND the weekly posts? Or else I can post an empty thread and turn it into a wiki straight away.

I’m perfectly happy with either of those solutions. Setting up the thread takes a bit more time so I’m happy to save people doing that because it’s a one-time undertaking vs the weekly maintenance, but if someone else wants to do it that’s also fine!

Just let me know and I’ll fire up an empty-ish wiki-ed thread for the two of you.

I’m happy to set it up. My new best friend @Phryne is setting up the next ABBC book, so I don’t have any others to run. I’ll set up the thread on Thursday ready to kick us of on Saturday.

Just want to let people following the offshoot clubs know that the Beginner Book Club is now voting on our next pick, in case you’re interested: vote now!

And of course I have to write different things in each post, because otherwise Discourse gets upset at my spamming, which is honestly a legitimate complaint.

How do you find out when the release will be? By checking Amazon? I find myself Googling it every month or so to no avail.

Can’t wait to start!

The release date is stated on Amazon and other websites like Kadokawa. I don’t check regularly though, but I guess they just put it up very recently because I saw shops tweeting about it around yesterday.

Can I suggest 19th March as a start date for volume 3? That would give around 6 weeks for ordering and delivery.
