[QUOTE="trancejeremy, post: 29919, member: 924"] Today I went to my local(ish) game store (its actually about 40 miles away, but it's the closest to where I live), looking for the first Dragonstar book, or if they didn't have it, some Deadlands d20 books, or Weird Wars d20 stuff. They didn't have any of that. But they did have at least 12 copies of Chaosium's d20 adventure, Slaves of Fate. Maybe more. There were that many on the 'New' shelf. The same store has at least 2 of every Elric! & 1990s Stormbringer supplement from Chaosium, just sitting on the shelf, gathering dust. Why on Earth would they buy so many copies of one module? One that is (no offense to any of the authors) pretty lame looking, since the PCs start as prisoners on a ship (why would anyone want to play a campaign like that, is beyond me). And why don't they carry more WW d20 or Deadlands d20 stuff? Both of those appear to be selling well for Pinnacle. And Dragonstar appears to be selling well for FFG. Anyway, I was mildly annoyed. But it turned out well, because instead of buying d20 stuff, I went to Best Buy and found a song by the Space Brothers I was looking for on a compilation. Unmixed, too. [/QUOTE]
