[QUOTE="oliverhenshaw, post: 202581, member: 2698"] Having followed the collapse of RPGA UK and the formation of Raven, and the Wizards supply problems of the last year, I'm now left wondering whether anything will ever happen to make Wizards $5 ESDs available to most of the world. As i understand it, sometime last summer, Wizards stopped their distribution chain to europe (I'm a little fuzzy, but I'm reasonably sure whatever counts for the uk counts for europe). Subscriptions, at least to Dragon, continued as normal - Dragon was posted to subscribers and in my experience arrived not too long efter it's release in the us.v But in shops, it was a different story. There were increasing delays, and products and magazines released this year took about a month to appear on shop shelves - e.g. Deities and Demigods. This seems to have been because third party suppliers were struggling to cope with filling the gap left by wizards. And it's something they've only just got on top of - I've seen the Dragon hunting issue of dragon in birmingham about a week after my housemate got it in the post, Faiths & Pantheons and SBG are both on shelves relatively soon after their release. I don't know what the situation is with Dragon yet, of whether the terrible distribution problems to many rpga uk subscribers have cleared up. So, for other uk types (or europeans), my question is this - what's the supply situation like near you. Has it improved? Was it ever bad? Am i completely wrong? And what about ESD's. Are the inhabits of every country bar four denied the right to by them because of caprice or a reason linked to distributors? I've scanned through the end user license agreement and see no reason why they can't be exported to all these countries. What's with that? [/QUOTE]
