    The NPCs given for each species are generic ones that can be inserted as needed into a campaign.

    OK, as expected, mine arrived this morning, and it's pretty sweet. This was pretty much the last thing I needed to recreate all my old ICON cast.

    Nice work, Decipher guys

    Mine also arrived today. Sweet looking book, I am looking forward to reading this.

    I was a little surprised to note that while many species that had already been presented in the Core Book were there, only the Ferengi were missing? Contract problems with their agents to blame?

    It would have been nice to see the Remans too, oh well, something for the Romulan sourcebook...

    Unhappy CODA books printed "in Canada"???

    It's a tragic irony for me personally if the Star Trek CODA books have been and/or are still "printing" the books here in my home country if that indeed be the case. After visiting three reputable game stores in the Greater Toronto Area I have yet to see products beyond the Narrator's Guide. Products from WOTC are easily available by comparison. I ended up ordering from Amazon but it says the order which consists of Starfleet Operations Manual, Starships, and Aliens Guide will not be ready until the end of June til early July.

    Some expansion on the major races with a bit more development on the history of the race (for example the code of sentience rules for Betazoids, details of the major Klingon houses etc). They've made a few modifications to the species abilities and traits for a few races as well.

    Thats about it really.

    Odd, I ordered Aliens and Creatures only yesterday, and Amazon says Creatures should ship the 27th and Aliens about a week later.

    Could the older books already be out of stock? It seems unlikely.

    Weyoun12, I suggest FRPGames.com. They have a good selection of Decipher products and good discounts. I've ordered from them before and have been well pleased. I also suggest eBay searches for Star Trek in the RPG section. They usually have some good deals if you search around and compare. Hope that helps.
    Duty now for the future.

    Well, Stiggybaby doesn't deliver in Bangkok, Thailand... I was very disapointed

    I picked mine up today, but it came in yesterday to my local store, where I get all my rpg stuff. I also got Fell Beast and Wondrous Magic for LOTR. They are great sourcebooks. The guys at Decipher have done it again
