    Worse. Check the penetration ratings for the Ranger. IIRC, they're higher than those of a Galaxy-class.

    Eh...well, yea. Not very long, though. Good but...brief.
    If it's on a day I'm not gaming or have other commitments (say... Wednesdays after 6:30 or so...) I'd be there in a heartbeat.
    I'm toying with the proposal of turning our Sat group into a bi-weekly rotation; minimize the amoung of D&D I have to play. That'd leave an off week for some good games.

    I hear ya. The Ops book was just a SKU to slam into the retail channel to keep interest in the game up. I'm not saying it isn't a good book, just that, well, there's a reason it's so thin.

    FYI. Hastur Hobbies had some Coda books (PGs) in their cheap pile for at least 50% off. Your players might be interested in that.

    I think I have 3 copies of Ops lying around at home. You're welcome to 1 or 2 if you'd like.

    My players, as far as they could tell, cleared Hastur's of all their remaining stock, which consisted last week of a single PG. An extra copy of SOM would probably be useful, though. I actually only own the NG and PG. One of my players has this habit of buying every book for a new game when he plays it, and is the one who's actually ordered/ordering the rest of the books through Amazon, and then letting me borrow them once he's skimmed off the material he needs for his character. How much for one of your SOGs? (PM me...)

    Have any of your players tried Stiggybabys for some of these? They're having a fire sale for all the Decipher Trek stuff they've got in stock (Narrator's Guides for $10.50, Ops Manual for about $10). Only thing I didn't see in stock was the Player's Guide, which can be found at Noble Knight Games in both new and used editions.

    I think those that are going to buy the book, have bought the book now. Thanks for the pointer to those sites, though, I may make use of them myself, once I get a job.

    I have an great game that has been running well out here in Vancouver, so if anyone wants to relocate to Lotus Land

    Seriously, is there any way to get the ships from the SO updated for Starships? Like an errata or a group project or something?

    Duct tape is like The Force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
