And pre-orders (presuming you mean actual gamers calling or emailing and saying "I will buy that book, here is money), while nice, are substantially eclipsed by normal distributor orders and eventual retail sales. If you mean preorders as retailers calling Alliance and saying to get them 10 copies, then perhaps as a general rule distributors are scaling back what they order. The infamous "d20 backlash." But, luckily, SSS/WW/Necro/Malhavoc books have always traditionally sold well and distributors have no problem ordering them. Would Necro be doing that well solo, if we werent affiliated with SSS? I dont know. My guess is no, so I must be lucky <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Clark</blockquote>
