KotS Available?

[Olfactatron]

I got mine on wednesday. I thought that was when it was supposed to come out. I guess my local borders jumped the street date.

Are there any plans for members of ENworld to host a session for kots after it comes out?
I'm seriously bugging to play 4e, but without a group it's not likely. Wouldn't mind it, really.
...ok?

Just an issue of terminology here - they aren't technically "breaking the law" - there's no law that says a company cannot sell an item before the "street date". What it would actually be is breach of contract, assuming that the publisher and the store have a contract which states that the item won't be sold before X date. That's what Target was afraid of, a breach of contract, not "breaking the law".

A minor quibble, true. There could (and likely would) be a civil suit brought and that would hurt the parent company, but the police aren't going to shut down a book store because they sell KotS early.

You are correct sir! I thank you for pointing out my faux pas. I'll leave my previous post as is so your's will make sense.

On a related note, I just got back and I have a very shiny new KotS in my supple, dexterous, and immaculately manicured hands. I love's it.

I'd be interested in trying something like that. Would we be playing pbp or something like Maptool?

This has all made me wonder... Maybe someone who knows the publishing business better then I, can answer this. Why do they make stores wait to sell the book if they've already gotten the copies? Wouldn't it be smarter to say as soon as they're out there start selling, start the money rolling?

Stores haven't all received their copies. We got a copy mailed to us by WotC as a preview (it is identical to the retail copies, just very used right now) but our shipment is on its way.
