Stuff out of Print.

[Brian Stoner]

Ed Stark: Are there plans to start reprinting the BR material that is
currently out of print, such as the Book of Magecraft? My players and I
want to get these things, and online shopping, as has been suggested,
isn't practical for us. We are frustrated, and it seems that BR is not
being supported. We know this is not the case, but we wonder how the
line can survive.

Several people have said this. Why isn't it practical? It isn't any
more difficult than shopping at your local store. For some place like
Dragontrove you email them a list of what you want, they respond with
the total cost and where to mail your check or money order, you send it,
and they send you the stuff.

I don't know the exact details of what'll get reprinted and what won't, but
we (the BR group) want to keep the Campaign Expansions and the core rule
books (such as BoM) in print. I expect we'll get what we want in some form
or another.

I would also like to see the Book of Magecraft as on-line shopping isn't =
practical for me either and the stores I have checked out here say that =
the Book is so far out of print there's no hope of getting it. Is there =
any chance of it being reprinted or, perhaps, incorporated in the 2nd Edi=
tion of the Birthright Campaign setting?

Some people just aren't able to get checks or money orders. Also,
considering some are younger than 18, they can't use credit cards... So
why does this seem practical to you? Plus people don't always want to
wait for weeks for things to come....

As well as this, have you seen the considered exchange rates and the cost=
s charged by post offices for international postal orders or by foreign =
banks for cheques in the appropriate currency. Then, of course, there's =
postage. Getting it locally is often cheaper, quicker and less frustrati=
ng.

Go to a bank, saving & loan, or credit union and ask to buy a money
order. Most will even do it for non-customers. No banks nearby? Go to
*any* post office and ask to buy a money order. I've received them from
all over the world when I used to buy/sell Magic cards. And you can
always ask a parent or friend to write out a check or get a money order
for you if you are too young to do it yourself. I used to do that.
