[QUOTE="Abstruse, post: 7757545, member: 6669048"] They haven't released specific details yet, but the Savage Worlds Deluxe Explorer's Edition (the current printing of the current edition) is a digest-sized book. Which is why it retails for $9.99. This is most likely a standard RPG-sized book, which puts the price point on par for PEG's other similar releases like Savage RIFTS, Deadlands Reloaded, Flash Gordon, and the various non-digest companion books and campaign settings. And it's still way below what anyone else in the market charges, since the standard price is about $50-60 for a core rulebook. Granted, those are typically hardcover and not softcover and you don't see a lot of softcover releases outside POD... Either way, I'd expect the new edition (Seriously, Shane, just please call it Savage Worlds 2nd Edition and don't pull the crap WotC tried with "D&D Next is just the playtest, we're calling it just 'Dungeons & Dragons' now (even though everyone calls it 5th Edition so much we eventually caved) thing that makes it hard to distinguish for press), to eventually get a digest-sized rulebook at a similar price point later on down the line once they have better support for the game and can fine-tune the rules and justify the sort of massive print run that makes that price-point feasible. Don't want a warehouse full of a print run that calls them "Bannies" because someone's finger slipped. [/QUOTE]
