"We are in the process of stocking our shelves, many of our hottest items are currently available, and eventually everything we publish or sell will be available here directly from us," says Publisher Michael J. Varhola, including the company's growing library of PDF publications. "There will also be benefits to shopping here."

These benefits will include:

* FREE shipping and handling for all print publications, miniatures, and other analog items;

* Special discounts not available anywhere else on print publications and miniatures;

* Exclusive signed and personalized collectible items;

* And more!

Skirmisher products will still be available to the same extent they always have been through various other venues, including DriveThruRPG, RPGNow, and Amazon.com, as well as brick-and-mortar game stores and at the company's booths at game conventions.
