This is what I read on your site today.
I am glad to know that there is a shop in Rome (700 km from my home) but I
must confess that I visited the Milan shop last month and it is not located
anymore at the address you give.
Italian market, in the North, is still ruled by magic-cards and warhammer
games. Not that I have anything against these fine systems, but they
actually destroyed the RPG market (and of course RQ) in the North of Italy
(even Verona's retailer is close, I checked last February). The Brescia shop
is concerned (as Milan) only about cards and miniatures.
Secondly, the Milan shoppe had just a couple of old RQ-Avalon Hill stuff and
the owner knew far less than me the coming news from HWars.
I must admit I only knew Glorantha and RQ, back in 1988, when I ventured in
London and visited "the Orc's Nest".
If you (Issaries) are interested, I could give you a name for a contact (a
shop) here in Cremona. I would regret that no North Italian player had the
opportunity to know HeroWars and Glorantha because the actual Milan
distributors don't believe in it.
Ciao
Gian
P.S. Ehi, just before anyone becomes more malicious than me: let me state
that I have no quota on the profits this Cremona shop has, and I barely know
the owner, but if you need a help, I suppose I can do something.
