SDLeary Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 (edited) Interesting. Me thinks someone is jumping the gun a bit. We'll probably know in a few hours. That'll be about the time when @MOB does his "evening broadcast"! 😉 SDLeary Edited February 14 by SDLeary Dreaded time dilation! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svensson Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 If this is the case, then I'm kinda glad I didn't sink money into the current edition. I very much like the QuickStart, but I'd rather not spend $65 twice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's on them, and doesn't obligate Chaosium. Chaosium themselves seems to dislike the term "pre-order," and AFAIK doesn't use it. This retailer *might* be taking advantage of some back-channel info; but they might just be speculatively taking orders in hopes of getting more total sales.

Narl Posted February 15 Author Report Share Posted February 15 (edited) I would guess that this is showing up in game store preorders because distributors are making it available for their customers to order. One of the online game stores even has a release date, though I doubt it is accurate. I plan to order direct from Chaosium since I expect it will include the PDF as well.

I always feel the need to caution people from jumping on any pre-order offer. We announce games to distribution 6 months or more before the item is released. Even if we ship to the Distributor that store uses to get their stock, it is going to take a while for that Distributor to get the new item, get it into their system for sales to game shops, then those shops have to order, and then they have to get the items shipped to the store. Just because a game becomes available to a Distributor on Fictiontember 1, they may not trickle down to game shops for a month or more. We have no control over how nimble a distributor is, nor how quickly game shops then order it. Chances are, if you want to purchase it as soon as you can and get the item in your hands, ordering it on Chaosium.com is your best bet. (and you get a free PDF of that physical product). 5 1 2 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and you get a free PDF of that physical product). There's a balance to be struck, I think. I want to support BOTH my favorite games companies and the brick and mortar FLGS. Both of these venues are vital for the growth of gaming as a hobby and both are necessary for sales of the products we love and support. Personally, I try and trade off, one product from the company store and one product from the FLGS. And no products from Amazon. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm eagerly looking forward to getting the Starter Kit! As Chaoisum, with one fell swoop, seemed to reinvigorate and bring back the Starter Kit (I'm looking at you, Free League), I'm glad they are being consistent with bringing out one for Pendragon. Well done, sirs! - Bill Quote http://billplayscthulhu.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teo twawki Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 GameKastle has a long history of announcing preorders that are not available for a year or more... 😢 Quote plus lucis quam solis plus obscurior quam nocte plus laqueum quam libido Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
