 Shocked

That's.... I mean.... Wow... Where do i sign in blood? Heheh.

So can we expect a few bonuses or will it just be them as they are? The "and more" practically has me begging to know.

The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.

I've got them all in pdf but I'll pick up the hardcopies too just for my players to peruse before I suggest they pick their own copy.  Grin

Besides I do have a little store credit left but it needs to be saved for FantasyCraft as soon as we get word it left to Mongoose...

Yeah the same for me. I already have them but It's nice to have a pretty bound copy for the table though. My binders are starting to get a bit on the heavy side of things.

Glad we could bring a little cheer (and apparently shock) into your day. Smiley

The only revision to the PDFs is some very minor wording here and there (pulling out references to "this PDF," for example), and consolidation of the weapons and gear from the BFOG line into one solid chapter (so, for instance, all the Assault Rifles from all the products appear together in the body text and on the tables). The "and more" part of the equation consists of S&P articles, which we're including to hit the 96-page target. (We have three articles fitting the theme of each book but whether they'll all go in is still up in the air.)

Oh yeah - there's a very small bonus in Shadow Play: the One-Man Army class is getting the new intro treatment seen in Runner and Firebrand.

It's one of the benefits of keeping your projects under wraps. You can just drop them on us when you feel like it. Shock and awe tactics all around  Wink

I'm glad to see the weapons getting consolidated. Less flicking back and forward through the books.

I assume, given the size, they're paperback?

They're the usual format, right? Not pocket edition sized? i'm gonna buy the SC2 PE, and a little part of me would like them to be the same size...

They are standard 8.5" x 11" books.

Shock and awe aside, we're really happy with this new approach - no more tears and when stuff gets announced it's rock solid. Smiley

I like it to and some of us, the Crafty Crew know how, have been waiting for certain products like 10KB and FC for a while. Patience has to be its own reward but we will be ecstatic when they hit!

That is not correct - but it's probably not all that far off either.
