The small games store near me didn't order Archipelago. I guess they have a
limited budget, and had a bunch of trading card expansion sets to order, as
well as rule books for Legend of the Five Rings, which sells well for them.
I had the games manager order me a copy last week, and just talked to him
today. Turns out both of the distributors he uses are out of stock...so I'm
waiting. Just out of curiousity, what was the print run for Archipelago? Did
the Blue Planet rules sell out their first print run?

Greetings,

     As far as a distributable character generator goes, I plan to start on
one within the next few weeks. Currently, I'm wrapped up in rounding out a
character generator for the Deadlands RPG, but Blue Planet is next on the
list. I'll keep everyone posted on the status.

Thanks,
James Cook
