Hi... um... we (meaning myself and my co-narrator for our Trek rpg) just ordered several of the ICON Books from Amazon.com. I've always wanted to give the game a go, and after finding the core books at a good price on Amazon I decided it was time to try it out.
A good summer project.
Now, here's the thing. This is the listing for the edition of the TNG core book we ordered:
TNG Core Book, August, 1998; 315 pages
This edition is selling for a starting price of $3, so we picked it up. A lot better than $30, or $40.
This morning, I noticed this separate listing:
TNG Core Book, October, 1998; 312 pages
Aside from the later publication date, and the book being 3 pages shorter, I didn't see any references to a different edition. No "revised edition" or "second edition", and I've never heard of there being a second edition or revised version of the TNG core book.
This later edition is priced at roughly 10 times the cost of the one I ordered, so I'm thinking it is either the preferred edition or at least more of a collectors item.
I thought I would post my question here in the ICON forum. I'm guessing you guys here know what's what with the game, and maybe someone can tell me whether or not I ordered the wrong book ?
Thank you, in advance, and very much
