Long month for me. I've been in and out of town on business trips and vacations. I finally came back into town and found my copy of Amethyst: Foundations snuggled in my mailbox. It's bigger than I was expecting, thicker than even the Players Handbook. Have to admit, it looks pretty cool.
This week, I direct interested parties to HereBeGamers, an Australian Podcast dedicated to role playing games. They speak highly of Amethyst. I suggest hearing the whole thing but the Amethyst's coverage begins around the 20 minute mark.
Also, the pre-order period on Amethyst is now done...because the product is now officially on the shelves. Canadian and international buyers may have to wait a few more days but if you don't see it on the shelf of your local game store, ask them. To coincide with the release, Goodman Games have updated their site. You may notice a new banner. Thanks again to our ever vigilante Nick Greenwood for supplying us with it.
On another topic, I want to throw a shout-out (HEY!) to two specific game stores which have gone above and beyond the call of duty in their support of Amethyst.
Firstly, I want to mention New Moon Comics out of New Jersey. They have been amazingly enthusiastic in supporting us. I honestly think they had the highest number of preorders of Amethyst.
The other store is Strategies Games and Hobbies out of Vancouver, BC, one of the very first stores to EVER support Amethyst, long before I finally met its owner two weeks ago. Thanks guys.
