okay.
i know i said this before, but supporting your local retailer is the best thing you can do for the hobby you love. yes, you save $30 now. but in a few years, when stores go belly up because they can't compete with online shipping, where are you going to go to game, review, cajole, and general preview everything you love about gaming.
don't let gaming turn into comic collecting.
okay
my rant is over.
whew.
back to gaming

Thread's not dead yet...
Whew. It took me most of a week, but I finally finished reading this thread and the spoilers thread. That's a lot of stuff to sift through.
One of my players saw this at GenCon (as I did) and convinced the rest that we should play it as my next campaign. I reluctantly agreed, since I'd already bought Eberron and had at least the first 3-4 sessions worked out. But these two threads have really made me anticipate running this. I, too, am one of the unfortunates who ordered this from Amazon.com and was told it would be 1 - 2 months, but I'm not yet prepared to cancel that order and look elsehwere because I had a $30 off coupon in addition to the 32%, so I ended up paying $37 for it (or I will pay that much, if they ever send it out). Fortunately, so much information is in these threads that I'm able to start planning. Also fortunately, we have to wrap up another DM's campaign before my next one starts, and that will take us through October at least.
Thanks especially to Jim Pinto for posting all those previews. The introduction was a great help in getting the rusty wheels in my mind turning again in DM mode. My group has a website, and once we start delving into WLD, we'll send the link to www.worldslargestdungeon.com.

Jim,
I appreciate your viewpoint. I fully believe that (with appropriate regulations) an open market that promotes fair competition is best for the economy as a whole in terms of improving efficiency, which helps everyone over the long term (although it certainly hurts those who lose in the competition). I also believe that, regardless of whether anyone subscribes to this economic philosophy, it closely reflects the reality that individuals are going to act in their own perceived best interest.
Having said that, I am apparantly agreeing with you that it is in my best interest to keep funding my FLGS, because my friends and I decided it was worth the extra $40 to get our grubby little paws on this immediately.
We went to the shop and bought it.Thanks for feeding our addictions!

This info is also in the WLD spolier thread, but what the heck, here it is again. There's now a dedicated forum for AEG's World's Largest Dungeon over at www.rpgmp3.com
RPGMP3 WLD forum
For those following it, our 2nd audio session is available, the 3rd is in the can and the 4th will be recorded next week.
A possible benefit? Is that issues raised there could end up as discussion in the audio recordings as well.

Amen! Free Market Capitalism is the foundation this wonderful hobby was build under, and it is this innovation and spark that makes it continue to thrive. I am not going to hijack this thread (too much,) but I NEVER want to hear the call of the poor FLGS being used as a crutch.Ozmar said:
I love some of the gaming products out there, but I only buy those that represent a truly great value. Extrapolate that to Gaming stores: I love some of the FLGS and do biz there, but there are some that blow, and I assume that they will vaporize eventually. Dollars flow to those who earn them; i.e., a great product like WLD will get a premium price - sometimes $100, sometimes $60. It's the ability to choose this price scale that makes the whole system work.
Telling me where to shop, outside the context of this equation, makes absolutely no logical sense.
Go WLD!

oh man, what a great debate you and i would have
sadly, this 680th post on the world's largest dungeon is the last i will be making. this thread has been slowly receiving less and less attention now that people are playing it and creating blogs about their adventures. just about any question someone could have about this product has been answered (sometimes four and five times).
while i am more than willing to answer questions about this product, my attention can no longer be devoted to this thread.
anyone interested in the product is still welcome to ask me questions at the e-mail address below.
i'd like to thank all the people on this thread that have made the past 7 months so much fun. davemage and thundershot deserve a big thanks for their support and help to make this project successful.
good gaming, everyone.
