Limited Edition

will the Limited Edition have the typos fixed and the errata?

**Doug Burke** · 05-18-2002, 05:12 PM

As I undertsnad it, the pages for the Limited Edition were printed at the exact same time as those for the first run of the PLayer's Guide. I could be wrong, though.

Hmm, well I want a copy of the LE anyway, since I was planning to buy two copies of both the PG and NG (always useful to have two, especially during character creation). But it's a shame if it isn't updated to correct the errors.

Ah well.

It's pretty standard practice to take this approach for limited editions, because LE's are never printed in large enough quantities to justify a separate print run (unless, I suspect, you're White Wolf!).

From personal experience, when Hogshead produced Realms of Sorcery, they had the pages for all the copies printed and blocked in the main print run, then diverted a hundred or so of the blocks (that's all the pages bound together without covers) before the rest were bound. The uncovered blocks then went to a separate professional bookbinder for covering in leather

That took several months as it was all done more or less by hand.

I suspect the same applies to the Trek LE, not that I'm saying that it will be in leather!

Don't quote me, but I think it will be something fancy, like leather, and in a slipcase to hold all three books.

Yes, there's an additional third book as well, full color, that will be in the LE. At this time this book, to my knowledge, will only be available in the LE. Perhaps Doug can dig up some more specific information.

**jedimuldoon** · 05-20-2002, 06:54 PM

etc

whats the THIRD book?!

"101 Ways to fry a tribble"

"Songs your mooogee never taught you"

"My favorite bathtime gurgles"

"The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy"

"I would rather kiss a wookie!"

'They're all dead dave"

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????

"101 Ways to fry a tribble"

"Songs your mooogee never taught you"

"Spying or how to appear like a tailor without being one"

"The pail of life or how I lived among solids"

"Baldness, a sign of weakness or the ultimate aphrodesicac?"

"Trekkers, are they nutty lifeforms or do they have good taste?"

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????

Ahem!

Personally, I'm hoping for an art/photo type book... Perhaps with some kind of general background info. As I've commented before, if anything essential to the game goes in something limited, some fans get left out...

Ok, I guess I'm gonna have to get it then!

So Don, Doug, Ross - any of you guys planning to be at Origins or GenCon so I can get it signed?

**Lancer** · 05-21-2002, 05:08 AM

If I were a game designer I'd make the 3rd book either an adventure or a fully fleshed out setting with adventure ideas, like the chapter LUG devoted to each rulebook with ship/crew/setting descriptions and a short adventure - just longer with NPCs, longer planetary descriptions and the like. Something that gets you playing real fast if you don't want to (or don't have the time to) develop a setting yourself.

Ditto! I want the second copy so I can eventually get it autographed when I take it to cons to play. I have my working copy that I am already highlighting to hades and back. Oooppsss! Then I will have the good one to share with friends that can have multiple autographs throughout it. The designers really have a great selection of photographs through out the book. Both the LUG and CODA editions were well thought out and put together, whether or not we are fond of particular changes. :-)

Well, I just received confirmation from TPTB about the third book of the LE, so I thought I'd share the subject with you.

The 32-page insert that will come with the LE is a sourcebook for Enterprise!

Now that's a surprise! I hope that the LE (btw, isn't that Lawfull Evil? Seems I found another CODA/d20 similarity

) isn't so limited that the american market gets all the copies and we europeans never see it.

**Calcoran** · 05-24-2002, 03:10 AM

I want it! Want it! Want it!

But I don't want no friggin' Limited Edition ... always hated LEs ...

Damn I'm soooo dooomed!

I'd be happy with that!

Calcoran, I'm sure that info will become available somewhere else fairly soon. Either in an Enterprise sourcebook (presumably expanded and revised) or as a download before too long (I hope!).
