I'm from New Zealand. Its the 6th of June here sooner then it is for the US (it seems to be around 4 in the afternoon when the D&D site puts up new art and excerpts). Will I have to wait till its the 6th of June for you guys before my local shop is allowed to sell the books, or will I be able to get it as soon as the store opens?

Just curious.

I'm from New Zealand too. My local store quite clearly said "The 6th", as in the local date, for when they'd start selling it, dependent on courier reliability.

Yeah, thats what I thought my guy said too, but I thought I'd see if that was what the case would be.

It'd make sense to have it local time - it'd be kinda odd otherwise.

So the question is, any real hardcore gamers gonna fly somewhere to get it a few hours earlier - then fly back to get double the opening night goodness?

And here, I move from Kentucky back to Florida!!!!!!!!

Oh well, it's not like I couldn't wait another 8 - 9 hours to get my books anyway.

Too bad I have to watch the kids that Saturday. It would be cool to see how Donny and Kenneth actually DM. I know they suck at playing Magic. ;)

Btw, that is a joke. I do know Donny and Kenneth.

The store I shop at is doint a midnight release, too, in Massachusettes. I've got a prior commitment for Saturday, been trying to decide if I can stay up that late to go pick up some books.

The store I go to (The Gamer's Lounge in Sandusky, OH) is actually gonna sell the books when they get them today.

Or at least give the books to the people who prepaid for them, myself included.

On Game Day, I'm actually pulling double duty. I'm DMing the Game Day module as well as hosting Dungeon Feud, using actual software that mimics the Family Feud game.

Well I got my copies yesterday, which granted was 3 minutes ago. This was in Australia. The shop actually had them the day before but wasn't allowed to sell them yet.

My copies were shipped by Amazon.co.uk on the 4th and, to my delighted surprise, they arrived in Galway, Ireland this morning. Well done to the Irish and UK post offices!

Can't wait to break the shrink wrapping and enjoy that new book smell. Ahhhh.

Will 6 o'clock never come? ;(
