RE: [DL] Quick note: Barnes & Nobles



Shane - what chance is there of more of the classic Deadlands material being made available as e-books? In little old New Zealand there are only a smattering of game shops and only a scattering of Pinnacle products in them (usually the same 2 or 3 books). Mail order over the internet is cool, except that postage from the US to NZ adds at least 50% to the price. As your focus changes towards D20 (shakes head sadly - 'Hey, its new improved Coke flavoured Champagne') and your support for the classic system moves to the Epitaph I suspect it'll become steadily harder to get the books. What chance is there of stuff going to e-book form as it goes out of print?

That's because we stopped being carried by Ingram. They took over a year to pay their bill, then returned most everything anyway. Remember what made TSR go bankrupt a few years back? Same thing, but I was fortunate enough to handle it.
