Title: [DitV] Canadian Dogs
Post by: Pheylorn on February 06, 2012, 03:23:37 PM: Hello all!

It's my birthday on March 24th and my wife is hounding me for b-day ideas. I was thinking of putting a copy of Dogs in the Vineyard on my list but live in Canada and I wonder if it would arrive in time. When I ordered APOC WORLD it took several weeks (worth every minute though!!!) and don't want to have it stuck in shipping when cake day somes around.

So my question is, have any of my canadian brothers or sisters ordered this book online and remember how long it took to ship?

Thanks all. Lovin' every minute of my Baker games!

Are you saying we're weird up here in Canada? Because that sounds like an accurate description. :P

Alright Vincent, I'll trust you....this time.

Between Customs and Canada Post, it could take a while.

But a month or more is plenty of time!

If ever you want an indie game on a deadline, it's worth a shot to call them up and ask if they stock it.

Post by: Pheylorn on March 25, 2012, 10:38:19 AM: I did not receive it as a b-day gift. Which simply means I will buy my own copy soon. I honestly don't know what we're playing on Tuesday, but it sounds like it might be Dogs.

Thanks mcdaldno. I've been looking for a good canadian distributor for my rpg's. I will give them a shot sometime soon I'm sure. Can't wait to play Monsterhearts soon either, it's looking like a great game as I read through it. :)
