Due to the popular demand for it, the 2003 Annual Compendium for Big Bang: The Mostly Illustrated RPG Guide to Modern Weapons will be published in both PDF and paper formats. The 2003 Annual Compendium combines all the information provided in Volumes 1-4, plus the special edition. In addition to coverage of the four game systems of the individual volumes, support is added for even more game systems. Dozens of new guns are included as well. The book is projected to be roughly 400 pages long and the retail price is currently estimated at $35.00. The project is now going through layout, so these figures have yet to be finalized.
In addition to this paper edition, a PDF edition will also be produced. This will be an extensively enhanced, providing a ready-for-print version matching the print edition and a ready-for-screen enhanced version that included PDF embedded movies and software. Both will be enhanced with indexing and search capabilities. This PDF edition will be priced at $20.00 and available through RPGnow.com.
All preorders for the book will also receive the PDF version on CD-ROM. The PDF version is a massive, searchable, indexed document, enhanced with embedded full motion video and PDF-based programming. Your preorder can be made at: http://www.bakabanashi.com/mallfront/details.php?item=69&sellerid=1
We have put together a two-stage preorder system for those who want to preorder the book. In the first stage, you simply add yourself to a mailing list. This list will be used to update you when the book is ready to go to press, as well as the final specifications on it, so you can complete your online purchase and have the book shipped to you within days of its arrival back from the printer. Once the mailing goes out with the "to the printers" announcement, it will be destroyed. At no time will this information be sold to third parties or used internally for other purposes.
