Looking For Games Shops
Hi all,

Now that Esdevium Games are distributing Game Night, I'm looking to send sample copies of the book to games shops, the theory being that if they read it and like it, they might then order a few copies where they otherwise wouldn't (if it was just a line in a product catalogue).

I spent a good chunk of last week trying to come up with a list of current UK and Ireland games shops (or at least shops that might sell games) and found it to be surprisingly hard. There are lists, but they are depressingly out of date (depressingly because it shows how many games shops have gone to the wall). But after a lot of phoning and surfing I came up with a list of 49 shops that are still around and hopefully still doing roleplaying stuff.

And so far, even though the books would only have started to arrive yesterday, I've already had one shop owner phone me up to thank me for brightening up her morning (she read it through in one sitting) and to tell me that she was going to order some copies.

Anyhow, what I want to do is find out any games shops I've missed.

Below (in a cut) is the list of shops that I sent to. If your FLGS isn't on the list (it's in alphabetical order, so it will be easy to spot), I'd be grateful if you can give me its details. Just comment here. Also, if I've managed to get one on there that no longer exists or no longer stocks gaming stuff, again, please let me know. Thanks!

The List... )
