This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So the new book for DW is out this week and I plan to buy it.

Unfortunately Leisure games website gave Firefox all sorts of security problems so I won't be using them. Anyone know of anywhere else that isn't amazon (because i don't want to wait six months)?

Infinity Games? They can be a little slow on releases but postage is free.

If you can wait for a bit (shouldn't be much), keep an eye on The Book Depository. They are UK based and you should get the stuff delivered quickly. And their prices are the lowest on the web I've seen for FFG RPG product (just for comparison, Warhammer 3rd big box for under 40 quid, and that's free shipping worldwide). Also, they got a 10% discount if you type in "May11" at check out, which works until May 31.

I've used that site for years, but mostly stopped half a year ago when their shipping into Continental Europe started to take ages (20+ days on occasion!).

Yes, i checked there earlier it wasn't listed. I ordered Rites of Battle from them via Amazon for about a tenner less and got a very well packaged brand new (or might as well have been even though i think it was listed as s/h) product.

They have two sites and I found that it's worth comparing them as there's sometimes a significant difference in prices and availability:

www.bookdepository.com
www.bookdepository.co.uk

You can use the same account on both URLs.

Both have the listed release date as the 29/6. It's out this week.

I think i'll download it first so I can see just what's in it. I have a feeling they are going to do specific adversaries, as they have done before. So you'll get Captain Tau, posibly the Ethereal in charge of Planet X, Evil Tyrnaid monster (they spoilered something called the Dagon Lord), and probably a few made up monsters.

Absolutely. The killer trick as far as I'm concerned is to log on the US site with a web proxy. You'd be surprised at the variations.
