Online Shops

Hey so I'm from the Philippines, and its really difficult to obtain stuff for my gaming group, specially since I may start DM'ing 4E, the books i got through Neutral Grounds, however buying from them is a pain for me (there's no store in my city and prices are incredibly high), so I have been trying to find online stores that ship worldwide so i could order my stuff, can anyone point me to some such stores? preferably ones that accept paypal as a payment method.

Thanks.

Both Noble Knight and FRP Games ship internationally and accept PayPal. If you are interested in "indie" games (typically self published or from small publishers), a good store is Indie Press Revolution.

Amazon has very good prices on D&D items, but doesn't accept PayPal and international shipping can end up being expensive.

PDFs might be an attractive solution, too. If there's a print shop near you (Kinko's, Staples, etc?), it might even be cheaper to buy a PDF and have it printed and bound there.

I can second both Noble Knight Gamea and FRP Games. Paizo is another option, but they don't offer PayPal as a payment option so you need a credit card.

I would also recommend looking at PDF's. I live in Australia and have several books in PDF rather than print. PDF's are normally cheaper than the hard copy, you can search them, you can print out single pages and make notes on them all you want. They also save you a lot on shipping costs.

Yeah I pretty much figured PDF's would be cheaper, but the other stuff such as dice/tiles/mats/medieval flail to smack the munchkins are things that arent easily available here so these sites will help me a lot thanks.

Yeah, my PDF dice don't really roll that well!
