Facebook has a handy "Tag" feature that lets you label people in pics, but you have to be at least logged in to facebook to see those (I have the pics set public, but still, that feature doesn't apparently show up for non users). So... Sign up for Facebook. Otherwise, it's a giant PITA for me to label all the pics (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (Also, I don't quite know everyone in the booth shots. THere were a fair number of volunteers who were Battletech folks, or simplyfriends of the CGL guys that were helping out) |

Looking at those pictures it appears Eclipse Phase has flying space whales. Awesome sauce, now I have another game system I want to buy.

QUOTE (Kerenshara @ Aug 19 2009, 05:34 AM) BLEEK! Seattle 2072 is going to be a HARDCOVER?! My daughter was at GenCon, and I asked her to pick a copy of Sea2072 while she was there. She called me from the Catalyst booth to ask which book I wanted again, and she told me that price was like $46. I quizzed her to see if maybe she was looking at the wrong book, thinking this was a about twice the price a typical soft cover SR supplement, and told her not to get it. She did not mention it was hard cover, but I am not sure if this would have changed my mind. I hope there is a soft cover version when this is finally put up for order, otherwise I will have to opt for the PDF when I would much rather have a physical book. |

Funny enough I opt to PDF anything softcover. Softcovers get trashed in my gaming circle. BlueMax |

The thing that is wrong with Hardcover is the price. I play too many gaming systems to buy anything other than core rules in hard cover. |

Then I am jealous of you sir. I actively play only a few systems and of those only Shadowrun puts out new material. Thus I can understand how its perhaps too easy for me to budget for hardback books and perhaps even worse, I operated under the assumption it was easy for others.

The "Anniversary" titles that aren't corebooks -- Seattle 2072 and Sixth World Almanac -- are both full-color hardcovers. No plans for any other versions of them.

@Adam: Thanks for the info.
@Hardcover discussion: I tend to buy things in physical form if the group will want to maul it amongst themselves. I tend to buy things I will only use myself for GM'ing (e.g. Ghost Cartels, Running Wild) as PDFs. |

No, "Bleek" can be any kind of sound, usually taken with context. For further information, read the Honor Harrington series and pay special attention to Nimitz, the Sphinxan Treecat. They can't speak due to the limitations of their vocal appratus, but they are... as bright as most two-footed people and combined with their ears, a bleek can say a lot. In this case, it's absolute delight, because as wondrous as the original Seattle sourcebook was decades ago, it was softcover. Hardcover implies that it will have more material that I really want as well as suggesting a higher production quality. *grin* |

I'm much the same. Lately I buy everything in pdf because I am the only one that uses it (GM prep, etc). I will buy everything in hard copy eventually for my collection, but thats a different situation...

I'm never really comfortable until I have a dead tree copy to play around with when it comes to things I use constantly. Can't wait for the chance to pick this one up. The maps alone will be great.

Real paper copies, and hardcovers in particular, are fantastic to own. You can swat bugs with them, swat players with them, swing your bookbag as a club with them, stack them into protective forts around your PC (which also keeps them within arm's reach for when someone is being wrong on my internet), use them to even out crooked table legs or missing couch legs, and there's always just something reassuringly physical about thumbing through a well-worn book. They're awesome. I love 'em...
...until it's time for my gamer-ass self and my gamer-ass wife to box them up and move. Jesus, Buddha, and Zeus, but I wished I had more pdf's when we were loading and unloading that thrice-damned truck. |

Ha! That is so true! My SR collection alone takes up 3 plastic tote bins! WH books fill another one. And don't even get me started on how many *thousands* of miniatures I have totted around the country. Lets just say I had a little "problem" for awhile, but I'm working through it. I've been clean of my ebay habit for like 10 whole months now!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That is why I several years ago settled on laying out the money to pay somebody else to jackass my stuff into and out of the truck. It's so liberating to just stand there and watch somebody else sweat in the August heat while you stand comfortably from within the air conditioned confines of your home on both ends. Seriously though, they're always a lot faster than you anyway, and compared to the extra rental day on the truck, it's not as bad as you'd think. Also, I am not without pitty; I make sure to have a couple liters of Gatorade on hand for each of the movers. Funny how much they seemed to appreciate that. And a couple things I was trying to decide to dump or donate, they scooped up for their own selves. So it works.
