    I didn't found it either, and it's still not available in my usual shop in Paris, I'll have to check in the others though.

    If somebody knows where to get it, say so!

    Hope you track it down. With this election business going on, you deserve a good day.

    According to C5, a board member who lives in Paris, it can be found in a store in Paris called, Jeux Descartes. I am not sure how far Paris is from your town, but I imagine if it can be found in one store in France it can be found in others. Check out the PG availability thread in the CODA mechanics section of the board, that is where C5 talks about getting his copy. The thread is now towards the very bottom of that page.

    I hope that helps you out. I too had problems finding my copy, so I know how you feel.

    Cool

    Correct. I found mine in the Jeux Descartes store in Paris(17) (6, rue Messonier, metro Wagram).
    More details on this post and this one.

    I have no info however on its availability outside Paris.

    Good luck!

    And you're right, Erik... reading this nice PG was (and still is) a good way to take my mind off this election business

    They don't.
    I just sent them an email, and they didn't even know it was out. I suggested they had a look a other Jeux Decartes' shops web sites.

    Well, I emailed Starplayer too and they still do not know when they will have it. Wich is a bit disapointing since:
    1) they strongly supported the LUG RPG line (I never had a problem to find a LUGtrek book thanks to them)
    2) they sell other Decipher products (ccg of course)

    Anyway, if one store has this book this store will have my money.

    Exclamation

    It seems the PG is available again at Jeux Descartes in Paris(17).

    Order it while you can!

    BTW Lee T, where is Starplayer ? I don't know this store at all.

    order it? do they have a website? (I only know about the big generic Descartes one wher they only show there stuff).

    Anyway I'll probably go there in person, it will be easier, what's the nearest Metro station?

    Thanks for the info.
    The nearest Metro station is Wagram (rue Messonier, be careful, there are scaffholdings in the street and the shop is barely visible).
    As for the website, try this link. At least you can phone them to reserve a book (it worked for me ).

    I can confirm you that the PG hasn't arrived to Brest

    But as I had already had bad experienced with Brest local gaming store, I ordered it from London, from Orcsnest. It's mail order is wonderful, fast and not very expensive.

    It should be arriving today (I hope! I hope!)

    Well, I finally have it, thanks C5 (especially for mentionning the scaffholdings, it was easier to spot the shop this way ).
