Go ye forth to DriveThru RPG and click on the Decipher link on the left-hand side. The file is available even as we speak....

This is one fine looking book. The planetary maps are fantastic. I'll read Paths of the Wise first, mostly because I've already read the preview for Worlds, but it looks promising.

I'm gonna wait till I get home tonight to buy mine - that way I can burn it to a CD and take it somewhere where they can print it out color and double-sided and bind it up.

I bought it, loved it, downloaded the kinkos program to get it professionally printed. Kinkos quoted me $.89 a page to print it....

um no.

No really. It would be cheaper for me to print it at home and use up my ink cartridges, buy more and go from there than pay about $150 or more to get it printed there. Was the person I was talking to for real?

Cause that would be about the dumbest expense outside of getting genuine vulcan ears via plastic surgery so my Spock custume would be just perfect for Halloween. cough cough ;-)

just curious cause it's a shame that this beautiful book is going to be pixels on my screen and not see hardcopy form.

Peace.

Don't know unless it's because you wanted it in color.

Hero Games 5th Ed (Revised) was going to cost me $40 +/- to get printed.
Front/back page, b&w, spiral bound w/ plastic covers.

Aaaahhh, I'll just go down to our state-subsidised RPG-organisation, turn on our full duplex printer, and make myself a copy, free as free can be.

Living in a "socialist" country isn't all breadcues, you know.

Well, they kept the majority of the inside references I put in the rough maps, with only one notable exception (so far). Unfortunately, it's been so long since I did the sketches, I can't remember if some things were coincidences or inside jokes. I should have made a list.

I do have to say that Boreth, my favorite of the maps I did, turned out pretty fantastically in the finished product.

Did you actually have to buy a "copy" or did they get you as co-author one for free?

I received a comp copy because I worked on the book.

Well, I looked through the book -- skimmed some bits, and concentrated on the main stuff. The new system/planet rules are well-done and should make the Traveler "hard scifi" types happy. I tried them out last night nad refurbed a system that was to show up in out game last night in under 30 minutes.

The planets listed are nicely spread through the Trek universe, with emphasis on the Alpha and Beta Quadrants (as should be.) The only bit the last season of Enterprise mucked with a bit is Andor, but it's nothing that couldn't be ignored. The maps are nicely done and simple. I liked the inclusion of the Dyson Sphere.

Overall, I don't feel ripped off. Wish they had printed it, but more and more I do stuff on the laptop, anyway.

As I promised, I'm here to eat a healthy serving of crow.

Yes, they actually did live up to their promises and got the thing out. While I'm onside with Don on this one (at least according to his entry on the blog) that this was done as a last-minute clearinghouse operation before the license-expiry hammer came down, I won't argue with the results.

However, I still stand by my original opinion that Drive-Thru is to be complimented on making this available to the public. Decipher...? Well, let's just say I'm very, very glad that they were able to make the call to Fed Ex and get this (and hopefully the other works) over to Drive-Thru's place of operations. More competence - and customer service - they've shown there than in the last couple of years put together.

Well I finally got it tonight, and from the quick glance i had of it it looks excelent.. It just makes me wish it had been printed, it's going to kill my printer

**Hugh Casey** · 10-19-2005, 07:05 PM

Here's a thought:

If you get the book (which, if I remember correctly, is about 200 pages) printed thru Cafepress (for your own private use only, of course... no re-selling someone elses product!), the price would be around $13.00. It would be B&W interior, of course, but it would certainly be a nice, perfect-bound soft-cover copy of the book.
