Also, one thing that just struck me as I've been writing this: the parasites from TNG's "Conspiracy" have never been quantified, to the best of my knowledge, either in Creatures or Aliens. Am I missing something here, or is this one that slipped through the crack in both works? Have their characteristics been defined somewhere else?

Two words. Okay, an acronym and a word. TNG Sourcebook.

YOU DA MAN!

I really want to be using those guys, and had always meant to write them up for ICON, in connection to the Trill stuff... But falling through cracks and all that.

I suppose the M113 Salt Vamire will be the TOS Sourcebook then? (athough this doesn't quite explain its presemnce on the cover of Creatures)

Just one question for those with Cretaures, are Whales and Dolphins covered? I have always had a hankering for a Cetacean navigation officer Character or NPC of some description?

Amazon still isn't aware Creatures has been released.

Next time I wait for it to be on the Decipher Store web site. Endlessly grousing.

Try either Stiggybaby's or Gamer's Attic for your online gaming needs. Better prices, with as good or better shipping, than you'll find on Amazon.

It's still in development, so most likely early next year.

Yep.

Well, I got "Creatures" today.

On the whole, I'm glad I got it. I'll probably use it on my next planetary adventure. Could have used more illustrations, though. If color is prohibitive, I'd sacrifice it for quantity of line drawings. I mean, how could we NOT have a Denebian Slime Devil or a "teddy bear with six inch fangs?"

Bring on WORLDS and THROUGH A GLASS!

Hopefully, before I qualify for Social Security!

August, it says! ACK!

(Well, at least try to get them out before my birthday. It's October 14th. That way I can make my parents buy them for me.)

Got my copy today at "my" local RPG/CCG/what-ever-geeky-game store. No rush, they always get 2 of each ST CODA books because they know that an another guy and I will always buy them

I HAD to have it.
A hole is the collection (1,2 ... 5 ... 7 ?) wouldn't be acceptable

But I'm a little disapointed, for the same reason listed before.
It's quite thin, and lacks of drawings and/or pictures. At least, one per creature would have been nice.
And I also regret that no list of episodes/movies appearances has been made.
Can't wait to get my greedy hands on "Worlds" though ...

Just to pick up Dan's question:

What about whales and dolphins in "Creatures"? Anything for NPC or even PC useage?

The last M113 salt vampire died after the events of "Mantrap", right? Right? RIGHT??

There's nothing in "Creatures" about Whales and Dolphins -- it's really not a book about creatures that can be used as characters (that book is "Aliens", and it doesn't have anything about dolphins or whales, either.)

HTH.

Correction! The last KNOWN M113 salt vampire died after "mantrap", but if modern day fisherman can pull a supposedly extinct marine animal from the depths off the coast of South Africa, then there just might be another one of these beasties roaming the cosmos!

I don't suppose anyone here has already statted up such a critter, have they?

*fingers crossed*

Here's where I should post the hilarious Magic: the Gathering card.
