Woah-
	I just realized how lucky I am to have local game store that carries
_anything_ you want- including masses of Deadlands.  We've all gotta
support our local game shops- they keep PEG and the entire industry in biz.
 BTW, if you're ever passing through Chapel Hill, NC, check out Cerebral
Hobbies on Franklin Street.  They rock!

    I agree with these, although it is a shame. To even buy Pinnacle
products offline I have to drive 30 miles to a smaller town and hope they
have something that I don't already have. GW is in charge of the gamers in
that town. The WOTC miniatures will not even be a concern there. One shop,
in the basement of a pharmacy, carries what they have left of GRW
miniatures and they even have the boxed set, but with no support there,
nobody ould play. All of the places that sell miniatures and games are GW
Rogue Trader sights, and push Warhammer to the umpteenth degree.
     However, in the village of 50,000 where I live, there are only Ral
Partha and Dark Heaven miniatures, not GW figure in sight. Places like this
would be superb for a game like GRW and I am trying to kickstart Deadlands
here and in the other town.
