[QUOTE="JohnNephew, post: 290151, member: 2171"] [b]Re: just waiting to get my hands on it[/b] 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.
