Is there a significant difference between 1st and 2nd edition Midnight?

Yes.

Lots of minor changes to the various Paths.

Fighters get more skills and more skill points as well as a sub-path they can take.

Book folded their Player' book into the core book.

Binding on the original batch of the 2nd ed books was the 'crwp' but I hear they fixed that in latter printings.

$16 to ship one book to Canada?! No thanks.


For those interestedin Dragonstar - get the Guide to the Galaxy book. It has great background material. For the rules stuff (which the Starfarer's Guide mostly is) I'd use d20 Moder/Future or maybe even d20 Star Wars. Heck the way the Starfarers Guide is set up you just port over the core classes from the 3.0 PHB wholecloth anyways so i never saw the poitn in the book (they do add a bunch of skills and feats but d20 Modern does this in a much mroe complete fashion). The Guide to the Galaxy book is the meat of the setting (and I really do like the setting just hated the 'crunch' that went with it).

I'm just the opposite. I found the crunch material excellent (I'll still go on record saying the firearm rules are head-and-shoulders over d20 modern's), but found that the Guide to the Galaxy really didn't tell you enough about the setting to build a campaign around.

I tried putting multiple books in one order, and once you've ordered one book, the cost to ship the order, per book, drops. It was something like $11.50 US to ship one book to me, but to ship 3, it was $13.50. Still exorbitant, but those are some good prices..

Why has no one mentioned Blue Planet yet? Buy all the books, while they are still cheap - and not yet sold out.

Cause they're not that good, I don't think. I got them the last time they had this sale, read 'em once, and they've been gathering dust ever since.

What??? Blue Planet is one of the best SF settings out there!

I thought the fluff ran the gamut -- some really, really good, some that looked like it was handed out by the 40-year-old radical grad student at the quad. I thought mechanically it was very weak and slapdash.

I traded one of the books and would trade the others. At $5 a pop, the books make great source material, though, so it's not like I'm gonna dump them in the trash.

There was only one book I was interested in - Portals & Planes. I'll check my FLGS - they sometimes get bulk order of FFG (and others) in at good prices.

Elemental Lore?

Anyone have a link for a review of Elemental Lore? That's the only one that sounded interesting to me, but I can't find a review for the book anywhere....
