Weyhey!
Klingon book! Cool.
Soldiers and diplomats book! Excellent.
Mirror Universe! Hmm, i'll get back to you on that.
Well they've set themselves a very tought target to release those three books in the spring given that the first day of Summer is at the beginning of June.
Or am I just being overly pedantic!
All in good humour.
:D
Well, its all great of course until you think that the schedule is the same from last year just about for the first half of the summer! looks like the $34.95 rice is standard, well there better be some more meat and potatoes in the fancy entrie dish then what the Starship book had (See previous comments in the I like Starhsips but... thread.)
Glad to see two very long waited for titles coming to press soon, and can't beleive theres a book called Peacekeepers: the guide to Soldiers and Diplomats, how that one make it by the aproval guys at Paramount? that book is the sweetest promise yet. :)
After nearly a year wait we are seeing books come out. If these come out when they plan I will be a happy happy future Narrrator.
easy they called it PEACEKEEPERS which is in the flavor of star Trek TNG
In a historical acknowledgement they decided to call the Klingon book "Blood and Honor" and the Mirror Universe one "Through The Glass Darkly", respecting the titles established by LUG. Well, at least it's almost like getting the original books.
Being a big Mirror Universe fan (give me a beardy Spock any day!) that's the book I'm looking forward to the most. The others are just icing on the cake!Quote:

For me, its a tie between the Worlds book and the Mirror Universe book. I want 'em both NOW. :)Quote:

I'm glad they're still going to release a Klingon book. I'm looking forward to the Mirror book more. Soldiers and Diplomats I'm not sure about. But I wasn't sure about the SOM until I knew about the aliens, ships, and starbases in it. I wonder if S&D will have new aliens or ships, such as Norway. I wonder how much Klingons and Mirror have been rewritten. I wonder if they'll have maps. It sounds like if there are maps they will fit with Starcharts. It would be cool to see such a Mirror map.
Sweet,
I can't wait to get the books.
I hope some of the books will be at Gen Con when I go up this year.
Very nice. If they can keep to this schedule, I shall be a very happy camper indeed. I shall have to buy drinks for the Dec employees when they're next in town. :)
(Okay, that's probably a safe promise I'll never have to keep, but the sentiment is there.)
Klingons: Blood & Honour!!!! Peacekeepers: Soldiers & Diplomats!!!!!!!!!! Yummy, yes please ASAP!!!!!!!
I want them now, but I am prepared to wait, but not too long for these excellant products.
Seriously though, folks, I have been waiting for a new Klingon sourcebook ever since I got rid of the old FASA Klingon sourcebook. So it's number one on my wish list.
As for the Soldiers & Diplomats source book its about time that this too long neglected aspect of the Star Trek Universe was explored,
the last time there was a star trek rpg diplomat book was FASA
:eek:
yay! "robert fox syndrome"
we 're getting lug turned decipher books
I am absolutely thrilled by the prospect of the Klingon book coming to the light of day! I have been aching to get my hands on this since I played in a LUG Klingon adventure (using a draft copy of the LUG book) at Origins a few years back. Our party didn't finish the mission, in fact we never made it "out of the bar ", but we all had a great time acting Klingon and starting brawls. Ever since my players have been nagging me to run a Klingon game. Maybe they will at last get what they have been waiting for this Fall!Quote:

If your interested in some star maps you might want to check out Star Trek Star Charts: The Complete Atlas of Star Trek. I picked it up from Amazon along with Starships. It is full color glossy and has lots of great maps.Quote:

Actually, I meant it sounds like if there are RPG maps they will fit with said Starcharts book, which I do have.
I wonder if anyone should tell them that Spring has pretty much gone by and Summer is right around the corner.
Spring doesn't end for another six weeks... :rolleyes:
"pretty much gone by and around the corner" pretty much covers that thank you.
Last I heard they were trying for a book a month and I don't think six weeks will cover that. And considering they haven't updated their site to show Starships is out I'd rather not hear of any schedules and just be happy if/when they come out.
When they say "Spring" they don't mean "Oops, it's June 21, guess we can't put those spring books out." Spring might be early summer too.
Don't read it so literally.
WATCH OUT WOTC.....DECIPHER IS GOING TO KICK YO ASS!!!!
This new release schedule looks great.Decipher has proven that they really are supporting the game by keeping the target release dates on the SOM and Starships.Klingons,Diplomats ,and soldiers.All of these should be very useful in my series.It will be interesting to see how they handle the whole Ground Forces/ Marine thing.A Klingon only sourcebook just begs to be used in a 23rd century game (which will be the next series I run).Can't wait for Worlds.
And on a related note, does anyone know what the shipping status of Aliens is? Has anyone seen a table of contents?
All that I can say is that I am glad that Decipher is doing this. Supporting their products so that we can have some fun with it :). Can't wait for the Diplomat's and Soldiers book myself.
