<p>Retailers interested in stocking the book are encouraged to <a href="http://www.crafty-games.com/retailers" target="_blank">contact Studio 2</a> with orders, and customers interested in picking it up should stop in at their FLGS and request a copy (the earlier the better, as it helps the store gauge interest, and hopefully gets them to keep it in stock).

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Wizards of the Coast&#8217;s continuing global efforts to build strong <strong>Magic</strong> and <strong>D&amp;D</strong> player communities in hobby stores, WPN levels and benefits will apply solely to stores as of the December <strong>Friday Night Magic</strong> solicitation round starting October 15<sup>th</sup>. This change will also appear in the <em>Mirrodin Besieged</em> Prerelease solicitation round starting October 18<sup>th</sup>. This change allows Wizards to better leverage the strengths of the WPN and our programs, maximizing their impact for stores and promoting the formation of vibrant player communities.</p>
<p>Stores will earn WPN levels based on all sanctioned OP activity that they sponsor. All WPN programs, including Prereleases, <strong>D&amp;D Encounters</strong> and <strong>FNM</strong>, will be given exclusively to store locations.</p>
<p>Most stores and organizers will notice no change with this shift. The vast majority of Organized Play already happens in retail locations. However, we do have individual organizers who are not associated with specific stores. We encourage these organizers to team up with a local retailer so their players can enjoy the great programs at the store&#8217;s WPN level!</p>
<p>For organizers not associated with a store, we will offer an Event Support Kit starting with <em>Mirrodin Besieged</em>. This kit will be identical to the Gateway Support Kit for the most recent Core Set (<em>Magic 2011</em> in this case), and will refresh with each new Core Set. Organizers not associated with a store will also have access to rated and casual sanctioned events.</p>
