My FLGS Rivendell Books and Games has been trying to contact you for some time to do the GW Games Day adventure, as I volunteered my own time to spread the irradiated joy to new players.

However, no one will call him back despite numerous calls to his WotC rep. What gives? Why are you blowing off a store who wants to participate and generate sales for you? Rivendell is a sanctioned store, too, if you're wondering.

Help me out here! Anyone?

Oct 13, 2010 20:42:10 Games Day Kits need to be ordered a month ahead of time, then kits come 2 weeks before which allows any stores to check supply numbers. If there is something missing then WOTC has time to send them the missing supplies.

This is why FLGSs need to be on top of their game when it comes to WOTC kits, and most are.

Oct 13, 2010 20:48:09 The organizer at my local game store is apparently also having problems with WotC. I heard that it was something like the FLGS canceled D&D Encounters (because no one was showing up for them, and the ones who did would rather just continue playing Dark Sun), so they weren't going to receive any GW kits, even though there is a lot of GW interest at the store.

I might just end up running the adventure in the back of the GW book, if no game day kit arrives. Bummer for me and for the players.
