Hi Luke,

I was there when you covered this in the Forge's seminars at Gen Con, but others in my gaming circle don't understand why they can't find Burning Empires in the local gaming stores. If you don't mind repeating this here, what are your ballpark figures for:

1. Producing one copy of Burning Empires

2. Your estimated profit from selling that book through the traditional three-tier retail system

3. Your estimated profit from selling it online or at a convention

And if you do have any plans to send at least a few copies to the brick & mortars, how and where would I tell the FLGS to get some?

Tim,

They can't find it in game stores because it hasn't filtered through the 3-tiers -- Alliance (and other distributors haven't placed their orders yet).
