Weird, I thought there would be more buzz on the forums about the Deluxe Hardcover Edition and Limited Gold Edition Robotech books!

Just wanted to know, concerning about the special editions of the Shadow Chronicles RPG, would they be made available for the people and the rest of the world? ^_^

I'm hoping they will, as the Gold Edition seems to be a Palladium Books only exclusive that you can order from them. If so, then I'm definitely going to pre-order both Gold and Deluxe when I have the money! There doesn't seem to be the limited to U.S. and Canada thing they have for the original Shadow Chronicles. How do I find out more? Where to ask questions to confirm this?

The RTSCD will be a hard cover and will have more artwork and maybe some fixes. I would guess that the Gold cover will be just the Hard cover with a special cover.

Some of the fixes I would like to see.
-ether stating the differing stats that Tirolians and Zentradiee have (ether as new dice rolls or bonuses), or stating there is none.
-Getting a 5-stage/simulagent invid stats in the char creation area. (thou I can wait for a new invid book for that.)
-how fit in Zents that are fresh form any of the patrolling fleets that join the humans. (I'm using the on-line changing class rule for a char I'm writing up, and just having them put into basic along with any other volunteers for the background.)
-the inclusion of the gambling skill. the only rouge skill you can get but it's not in the lists. Its mentioned in the 2ndary skills list. and any other mentioned skills that were left out of the skills list.

I just hope that PB posts a free PDF of all the new stuff that is in the Deluxe Edition. I'm really in no mood to buy the same book twice.

I hate thumbing through that small book, so I will be getting the hard cover. Not the Gold thou.

Agreed on all counts. Especially count two.

Sing it brother!
yeah, that part really really sticks in my craw. "Sorry but we ran out of room..."
Easily avoided...DON'T PRINT THE THING IN MANGA POCKET BOOK SIZE!!!!!!
-ahem-
Still very much annoyed at that short sighted decison on the part of the powers that be.

Not going to happen!

BUT!

All the material will be reprinted in other sourcebooks. So you won't miss anything if you pick up the other books. I think they were also talking about putting the extra material in a Rifter, but that is questionable I think...
