I have been talking with a couple of games store owners and have gotten a conflicting picture of what the RuneQuest scene is like these days. One owner told me that it was very difficult to get copies of RQ at all. He said that most distributors did not want to carry it because they felt that no one wanted to buy it. The other owner that I talked with said that he had no special difficulty finding RQ stuff.

I am looking for comments from other people's experience: have you found it difficult to find RQ stuff. If yes have you talked to store owners and asked why? If yes then was it because the owners did not want to buy it, or because the distributors did not want to carry it?

In any case, I think we really need to focus on how to get RuneQuest back into the stores. If we do not, then no one will buy it. If no one buys RuneQuest then the game will die.
