[QUOTE="HeapThaumaturgist, post: 2017330, member: 12332"] Well as to distro breakdowns: I've found that Barnes&Noble don't get RPG books in for quite a while. I've looked for quite a few books within two months of their release dates at BnN stores and have NEVER found them. They'd get alot of my PRG dollar if they actually recieved the books before I went elsewhere for them. Amazon ... I used to order from them alot, but started trying to visit LGSs a little more often. This is the first time I tried to get a book recently, and it certainly didn't turn me on to them again. I called The Violet Nexus or something like that, and Comic Book World, both on the north end-ish area of Cinci. CBW was the last one I called and the guy was friendly and offered to order it today (Monday) and said if their distro had it he should have it in-hand on Wednesday. He hadn't even HEARD of the book. We'll see if he comes through on Wednesday. Not knowing it didn't really instill alot of security in me, but I'll give him a chance. And yea, the pubs might want to talk about how distro gets done. I'd honestly buy more RPG books if I could get my HANDS on them. I was hot for D20 Future when it first hit the ground, but couldn't get it from BnN on or offline and by the time I was seeing copies of it a friend of mine had already gotten one somewhere else and let me borrow it, so I never bothered to buy it. Same thing almost happened with both "Mutants and Masterminds" and "Nocturnals". I wanted both of them, but couldn't get the revised printing of M&M after it came out nor find Nocturnals. Lost interest, but saw them in a store and decided to pick them up. --fje [/QUOTE]
