Ordering Hard copy in U.K

Ordering Hard copy in U.K

Postby Warden » Wed Feb 02, 2011 2:56 am

How do I get hold of a hard copy in the U.K?

I've checked Leisuregames, Gameslore, Blue Bear, Lulu, and other.

Can't find it anywhere

Well, that would be because the game isn't even in distribution (yet...I believe that FGG's wants to do so, but I'd suspect that such general distribution would be limited). Also, Complete isn't and, I'd suspect never will be, available via Lulu.

Right now it's only available directly from Frog God Games. (Also, the hardcover sold out in just a couple of hours and FGG hasn't run another print yet, though there are some softcovers left.)

I don't think we have any retailers in the UK yet - the store that was working with BBP hasn't replied to Bill yet about getting set up with the Complete Rules material. And since Bill ships in boxes, shipping direct from FGG isn't a great deal unless you're buying at least 3+ items.

We do have softcovers left - Bill was down to 20 yesterday from the last re-stocks, but has also put in yet another order for more. Those 20 should be plenty for at least a week or two I would think, unless more retailers surface with bulk orders.

There is a place in Germany, IIRC, that might be able to get one to you at Europe-to-UK shipping rates. I'll ask Bill.

Thanks all for the information.

As long as shipping/postage/whatever isn't too high, I'll order it from most places.

Putting it POD on RPGNow isn't on the immediate horizon - that's one of those "we really need to get to" sort of things. This, I know. Getting some books to a European retailer so the mailing rates within Europe are lower is a high priority but I don't know the status.

Thanks. I hope to run a game in the next couple of months - it'd be helpful having a book to pass around. ;)

Leisure Games in London stock Black Blade Publishing S&W stuff so I would have thought they would be the best bet. Look forward to getting my hands on a print copy...

At last...available at a decent price in Europe! James Raggi now has limited copies for sale on his webstore... http://www.lotfp.com/store/index.php?route=common/home ...and it's free shipping in Europe. Ordered mine already.
