New store features

By popular request, I’ve added a system that makes it possible for you to (1) see out of stock items and (2) receive a notification when that item is back in stock. In addition, I’ve updated the “Categories” box to make site navigation a bit easier. Details after the jump!

Out-of-stock items and notifications

Out of Stock

See an item you want, but it’s out of stock? Just click the “Email me when back in stock” link, and you’ll get notifications about updates to that item. (This is the same as the normal product update notification, so you don’t need to do it twice for an item to which you’ve already subscribed.)

My Account exampleIf you ever want to cease receiving notifications for an item, just log in and click on “My Account” (on the right side of the menu bar near the top of the screen). Once you log in, you can scroll to the bottom of the page to find the Email Notifications section, then click on “View or change my product notification list” to change the notification list.

Update to Categories Navigation

This is primarily a cosmetic change, but I think it makes it easier to navigate the site:

  • Categories box exampleCategories that have subcategories within them are listed in bold. This gives you a quick visual cue for a category so that you know there is a little there to explore.
  • Categories whose items are all out of stock are listed in italics. (This is to save you the trouble of clicking on an area that doesn’t currently have anything on sale; if you just want to browse out-of-stock items, of course, feel free!)
  • The category (and subcategory, if applicable) that you’re currently browsing is listed in red. Again, this is intended to help you browse without forgetting what areas you’ve previously explored and which you haven’t seen because you can easily tell where you are in the parent category.

I hope that you guys find this to be helpful, and thanks for shopping with us!

GMSarli Games at Gen Con Indy 2008

We have our booth assignment for the Gen Con exhibit hall: We’re in 2632, right across from Wizards of the Coast.

Well, not right across — there’s an endcap on the end of our row that’s a few feet closer. Still, we’re clearly visible when you’re visiting WotC’s mega-booth, and we’re right between WotC and the Art Show, exactly 20 feet from each.

Now you know where to find us, so keep an eye out — I’ll be at the booth most of the time, so feel free to drop by, chat, get an autograph, or whatever. (There’s a good chance that I won’t be the only Jedi at the booth, too; a friend of mine is hoping to bring her Aayla Secura costume, so I’ll keep you posted.)
