DW: The Darksmith Legacy canceled?

mtemplar_ficReceived an email this morning from the Book Depository saying that my preorder would be refunded, as 'the line has been canceled'. Anyone know anything about this? I did some digging around, and the Book Depository has yet to remove #4, along with subsequent releases from their site. Same story at Amazon UK. The Darksmith website has nothing, and appears to be functioning normally.
*grumbles* I'm hoping it's just that the BD has decided not to carry the line, not that it's actually being halted.
EDIT: Have heard from the Book Depository (did I mention I lurve them?) - apparently, they've run out of their stock, NOT that the series is being canceled. Will have to order Darksmith #4 from elsewhere, but I'm ok with that, as long as the series is still ongoing. So, I suppose my next question is for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
principia_coh - when did you preorder Darksmith #4?

Date: 2009-03-12 06:05 pm (UTC)Based on my experience with preordering games from game stores, I'd say the sooner the better. If they know you're buying one, they can preorder it for you and then it doesn't matter how swamped they get after the fact.

Me, I'm still waiting for the solicitation for the new RPG to come through.

Date: 2009-03-12 07:54 pm (UTC)Long story short: delivered to box instead of door, box opening is different size on their side than on the customer's side, literally couldn't get the book out.
New RPG? *perks up*
Yeah, it's by Cubicle 7. They were ostensibly going to release last year, but at this point I'm hearing some time in Q2.

Date: 2009-03-12 09:33 pm (UTC)DMG = Dungeon Master's Guide (the book for the person who's going to run the campaigns)
PH = Player's Handbook (the book for people playing the game; helps to build characters, doesn't have as much system information as the DMG)
MM = Monster Manual (does what it says on the tin)
