Ah, it's good to have a well stocked store in the area.

BTW, If people show sufficient initial interest in Nyambe, there is a good chance that you'll see some support for it in the near future.

just waiting to get my hands on it

all of the original preview/pre deal info got me jazzed. I'm just waiting to find a copy in my FLGS. I look forward to it with great relish!

Re: just waiting to get my hands on it

Very happy to hear it's showing up on the shelves! Stores down in Austin could have gotten it on Friday (if they picked it up from the local distributor), but Monday is more likely.

What Chris is dropping a hint about is a NYAMBE adventure that we're about to announce -- "Dire Spirits," a 48-page scenario that we'll put on the schedule for November. Michelle actually finished editing the manuscript this week (this Dolunt guy writes really clean manuscripts!), and Scott will be getting the art assignments going soon. The aim is to do a scenario booklet that serves as an introduction to Nyambe -- something that people can use even if they don't own the rulebook, or to try out the setting. From a marketing angle, too, we're hoping that it will remind retailers to check their stock of the main sourcebook before Christmas (especially if they lose track of it in the deluge of Gen Con releases).

We're already seeing reorders. Apparently some folks went a bit too conservative on their orders; at least one distributor sold out on arrival and phoned up with a reorder within what must have been an hour of receiving their shipment.

Mmm... African-flavored high fantasy. Brings back memories of the M:TG Mirage/Visions sets... which I always thought would make a really cool D&D setting...
