Where can I get a copy??

[poeticdisaster]

I absolutely have to have a copy of Cycle of Existence and nobody seems to have one.... they say that Alliance doesn't have any either... does anyone know where I might find a copy in the Austin area??

Hi poeticdisaster

Austin (Texas?) is not exactly my area, being based in the UK, but a check on the web says that there's a store in Austin (Texas) called 'Dragon's Lair Comics & Fantasy'. They're listed as dealing in 'Videos and Video Game Rental, Comic Books, Hobby'.

That said a review site said that 'Dragon's Lair' also dealt in role-playing games. Unfortunately their website doesn’t seem to specify what types of role-playing games they sell (pen and paper, computer…?), so personally, I'd ring them first to see if they can help before I'd waste time on a visit. I've included some shop information from the review site:

More precise information on how to actually find the shop is given on the shop's website!

I hope the information provided ends up being useful to you? If not … well I can only I hope that I haven’t managed to embarrass myself too much due to my lack of US knowledge. There again, no one else seems to be available to help at the moment so I thought that I'd try.

I appreciate your help... I went into Dragon's Lair and unfortunately they don't have any copies. *pout*

I'll just keep trying. Someone is bound to be able to order it for me

[ThePainter]

Sorry that the shop couldn't help you. I am however quite surprised that they couldn't order it for you!

Keep on trying, the game is certainly worth it!

They should be able to order it through Alliance, or I'm gonna have to do some talking with the distribution boys - we are carried by Alliance, ACD in Cali and Esdevium in Europe so there should be some way to get it. Though I need to get more books on a truck out to the distributor. I'll give Dragon's Lair a call sometime soon and ask them about it.

Thank you so much!!! I went there and they are supposed to try and order it for me but that was probably about 3 weeks ago now. Anyway, I appreciate you helping.. I mean how often is it that someone gets the game creator to call LOL woot.... By the way, you rock :D

did you manage to get a copy yet?

did you manage to get a copy yet?
no actually I haven't. Dragon's Lair said that they tried to special order it but Allaince has been out of stock for a while now. I was planning on going back in today and checking if maybe they managed to get a copy and forgot to call me. That I doubt but it's totally worth a try :)
