D&D 5E I Found an RPG Book at the Grocery Store

We have Safeway stores (lots of them) here in Colorado. Their biggest competitor is King Soopers (Kroger).

Wikipedia says Safeway (qua Safeway) operates in 17 States.

Kind of missing the point: there was a 100 page D&D supplement for sale in the grocery store. That's freaking wild, guys.

I've got all of Ashworth's "Gamemaster" line. Though not lavishly illustrated (with the exception of the Dragon one), they are excellent books. I use the NPC book all the time.

It's on my radar now: this is delightful, amd should prove useful.

Henceforth, the major armorsmithing monopoly in my campaign worlds shall be called "Safeway."

One of my players noted the same book in a Whole Foods recently.

I suspect being in the magazine distribution channels, rather than just the game trade ones, is going to make these folks a lot of money. It'd be interesting to hear from them how they did it and how it's worked out for them.

I like Jeff Ashworth a lot. I especially like that each book comes with three mini adventures. I've been using the Non-Player Character book for a few years now. It's one of my little Dungeon Master secrets.

And now, the cat's out of the bag.

PS: We had Safeway in Kansas when I was kid (40+ years ago) but they disappeared when I was about 10 years old. Didn't see them again till I moved out to California a decade ago.

I've seen books like that at Michael's. It gave me something to look at while my wife is looking at crafts.

Our local Michael's also has a lot of fun plastic fantasy figurines, too, although they're far too large to serve as miniatures.
