[QUOTE="Hard8Staff, post: 1305203, member: 1386"] Hi all. Just popping in to clarify a few things regarding kalamar sales/popularity. 1) it's true that the latest Kalamar books are not for sale at Walmart.com. In fact, no Kenzer and Company product is for sale through Wall mart -- our CFO has a problem with their terms. 2) Loona Port of Intrigue is not yet for sale on Amazon.com. Steve Johansson ran off to a lengthy vacation in Spain before giving Jen the ISBN so she couldn't post it there. That should change this week (--looks up at calendar, notices it's Friday --), er, next week some time. 3) To the poster that suggested Kalamar was never popular -- per our distributors it outsells almost all non-WoTC products d20/D&D/OGL by a considerable margin when comparing apples to apples (i.e., adventures to adventures, etc etc.). I haven't checked recently, but I'm pretty sure few if any settings outside of FR have sold more than the KoK CS. 4) Just to clarify on the dates, the first printing of Kalamar was in 1994, 2nd printing in 1995, 3rd printing (for third edition D&D) was in 2001 and the fourth printing was in 2001 as well. 5) Dangerous Denizens: Monsters of Tellene was the first 3.5 book out last year (and if you like monsters with a bit of background and detail, I HIGHLY recommend this one). Stand and Deliver was the very first 3.5 adventure. 6) We're in the process of reprinting the Kalamar DM screen (think I saw a post or question on that) 7) Actually, WoTC is supposed to provide some support for Kalamar per our agreement. I'll try to pop back in for another look in case you guys have more questions/comments that you think I might be able to address. Game on! David Kenzer PS I have played and run extensive campaigns in GH and FR before designing KoK. I enjoyed them both immensely, though I must admit that I preferred the first edition of FR over the later printings. I admit further that GH was my first love (as far as settings go. C'mon people!)
