What spectacular bad timing. Just when HP7 will be popping through the letterbox.

I was thinking the same thing. That, and I'll be getting on a plane early that morning to go back to the states for three weeks.

It's a bit sad to see a list of Gaming shops like that and realise there are so few about in the UK. Still I guess I'll make the trip to Manchester which is now my nearest one.

Bear in mind that this is only those who use Esdevium as their distributor...

Alright, that's it.

This is getting annoying.

Charles - this is being discussed over at the UK Roleplayers forums Might be a good place to drum up some more publicity.

Thanks for pointing this out Charles - If I wasn't at a wedding that day I'd surely have made an effort, and it is encouraging to see some near-ish to me.

Cheers
