Is Esdevium still up and running? Is there a web-site?
I have swung paste the old shop location in Aldershot a couple of times in the last year and it is now called the Games Shop, and seems to have little connection to that fine institution of my youth...
I believe so... I think they sort of split into two divisions.
Esdevium proper is the biggest RPG distributor in the country (and their website claims the second largest in the world - presumably after Alliance). They're based in Alton now - I know them well, my company sells stuff to them every now and again, and I do the shipments If I've got it right, the Games Shop is their retail arm, run as a separate company - but I think you go direct for mail order.
The original Esdevium was where I bought my first rpg, oh so many years ago (I lived in Farnborough in the mid-eighties)...
Got confirmation, my PG is reserved at Playin' Games. I've had a bad day, so I think a little retail therapy is in order tonight
