So I stopped into Gamers Paradise at my local mall and was surprised to see any "non-DnD" books and non-Faerun books 40% off. This included 3rd edition Ravenloft books. All they had left was "Dark Tales & disturbing Legends," "Champions of Darkness," The DM Screen, and Gaz III and Gaz V, which was really a surprise considering how hard it is to find. I know a few people were looking for the rarer Gazs, so perhaps try looking for a Gamers Paradise around you if you have it. The $25 books are like $15 or so. They had Pewter pieces at 40% off too. I guess they are trying to move it all out for newer stuff, and as they claim, 4th edition.
Just wanted to share that because I figured it may be useful.

I wonder if they know they aren't supposed to be selling 3rd edition Ravenloft anymore.

Thats probably the reason for the sale. You don't expect them to just pull the stuff and not sell it do you?

Technically that's what White Wolf was legally obligated to do, as part of their contract when they returned the Ravenloft license to Wizards of the Coast. I guess secondary stores were not forced to do that, since technically they've already purchased those books and are reselling them. But I would've thought they would try to liquidate the stock before now.

Anything that's not Faerun or official DnD books are at 40% off; includes Star Wars, Ravenloft, etc. MAKE ROOM FOR 4TH EDITION YARRR HARRR HARRR!!!! Or so I was told by them.

So it ought to be a long sale, then, given that 4th edition isn't coming out til like next May.

Who knows?
I saw your post on FoS about this. Did you go there yet and pick up the copy of Gaz V yet?

After carefully looking at the receipt again I think it is more like 58% off the books and miniature pewters. I only paid like $10 for the book so that's a $15 saving on the Gazetteer. If you need Gazetteer 3 or 5, Champions of Darkness, Legacy of Blood, or Dark Tales and Disturbing Legends than I strongly suggest getting over to Gamers. The Gamers in Stratford mall may even have more books. Not sure, but they did have more than the HIP Gamers had in the past.

Well, I went over there and got Gazetteer V, Dark Tales & Disturbing Legends, and Legacy of the Blood (which was hidden behind Champions of Darkness), for a grand total of $33.80. Thanks for the tip, I paid less than half of the cover price on those books.

Yeah, glad you took advantage of that sale. I tried calling other Gamers at Stratford and Woodfield Mall and they have NO Ravenloft what so ever. So I guess we got lucky with the HIP Gamers.
