[QUOTE="Vraille Darkfang, post: 2659892, member: 16989"] WW's books in ceratin areas are considered 'mature' only. Usually, only Black Dog gets the Mature warning, but some areas consider all of WW worse than ANY porn video. Second, Theft sucks. Where I used to live, one of the local bookstores stopped carrying RPG's due to the massive theft. The massive theft is very bad because it hurts people's impressions of gamers and hurts the hobby as a whole, as fewer people are willing to stock Gaming books due to theft. I hope that if the do catch anybody lifting gaming books, they prosectue them as much as possible. Even if it's some 13 yr old who's doing it for a thrill. While, I've never [I]intentionally [/I] stolen any gaming stuff, I did have 2 wierd experencies. The first was when I was going to a gaming store in KC. I just noticed the sign & went in to take a look. There was one other guy hanging around the old Box Sets. Anyway when I went off he wondered off. I picked up the Maztica Box Set. As I was driving off, I saw the other guy run out & I thought he gave me a rude gesture. When I got home, I noticed the tape holding the box set was loose & stuffed in the Box was all the other Maztica stuff TSR produced. I'm still not sure wether the guy stuffed the box, planning to buy it later or the store just assumed it all went in the box to begin with. I also got a mint copy of the 1st ed Manual of the Planes (with Cthulu) for list price (15 bucks) a few years ago from I store I'd never been too (I just assumed they didn't know the value of what they got, like antique hunting). The next time I went to the store 2 years later, they had a tattered, beat up MotP for 120 bucks. I'm not sure if they wised up since I'd been there, or if the employee on duty just flipped it over, looked at the list price & charged me what it said. [/QUOTE]
