Codename: GhostFox
First Post
I've seen Mongoose books in my FLGS, but no sight of Judge Dredd. Have the flying monkey's in Toronto made off with the whole shipment? Has anyone spotted the coveted d20 Judge Dredd books here in the big T.O.?
Judge Dredd in Toronto?

The Judge Dredd RPG is now available across the entire USA, so if your local shop ain't stocking it, badger them!
None taken. I hope gamers find a 256 page full colour hardback to be worth it 
Hey Matt,
No one has arugued that JD is not a beautiful and useful book. Prehaps some stores will put the Rookie guides out on the shelf. I was on your site by the way and I couldn't find any prices. How much will the RGs be?
Oddly enough, you are not the only $40 book to come out recently. I think some publishers are testing the waters ... or at least seening how many gamers have credit cards they can use at a game store.

The Rookie's Guides will have some variance, but the 64 page ones will be $14.95, like our other books.
As for price increases, I think you will see it happening more often over the next few months. RPG prices have been fairly static for a great many years and have not grown with the costs publishers face. However, I believe more than a few publishers are beginning to wake up to the idea that they do actually have mortages to pay/families to keep, so you may see a gradual creep upwards, at least on hardbacks (whose costs are immense, in comparison to supplements). Before anyone flies off the handle (yes, we would all want gaming stuff for $1 a time!), I don't know of any publisher looking to gouge the market with their prices - they just want a fair price for their work.

No offense, Matt. but JD looks pretty thin (i.e., less than 300 pages) for a $40 rulebook.
From my POV, this is weird considering that you have thicker, meatier rules supplements than Wizards (Your Quintessential series are a lot thicker than the Wizards' Guidebook series for the same $20 price range).

Well, that is simple economics - we sell more (much more!) of the Quintessential books, and they are cheaper (much!) to produce. If things go the way I believe, $40 for 256 pages in full colour will not seem so odd in six months time. . .

As for finding these books in Toronto, I've seen the main JD book, Full Eagle Day, and Rookie's Guide to the Justice Dept. at Grey Region and Hairy Tarantula. The former didn't have many copies (I think I snaked the last one), but Hairy T had plenty of copies as of Friday.
