The Drowned Earth looks set to find its way onto more and more tabletops over the next year or so as they signed up to a distribution deal with Warcradle Studios.

The Drowned Earth & Warcradle

If you're baffled by what this means then I'll let them explain it below...

"Ok, a quick lesson on gaming industry supply chains! I am the manufacturer of The Drowned Earth miniatures game. You can, of course, buy the game on this website. But to really get in to the big-leagues and become a "household name" (within our small corner of the market place, anyway) we really need TDE in local stores, where people can see it, become intrigued, and buy in!

Stores can buy directly from me, but there's a problem. In order for it to be economically viable for a manufacturer to sell at a big discount (so that stores can actually make some hard earned money too!) they need to buy in bulk. Most stores are going to struggle to sell enough to put in big orders every month, especially to begin with.

This is where the Distributor comes in. A distributor buys from me, in big numbers, meaning that I can send out a few huge shipments each month, instead of lots of little ones. They carry not just TDE, but loads of games, meaning that the store can now order in big numbers, because they're not just buying TDE, but loads of other games as well."

So, this should mean that there will be plenty of ways in the future for you to get hold of miniatures and such for The Drowned Earth through your local store. This is superb news for The Drowned Earth which is a really fun skirmisher and one that we've had plenty of good times with when we've got it to the tabletop.

Plus, the game has Dinosaurs in it and everyone loves Dinosaurs right?
