Quote from: Lynn;685915This is why those books are so collectable. Stroke them gently...

I looked on ebay and saw more than a few copies for $.99 starting.

Yeah I come across used copies for lower than cover quite frequently. But then, I frequent used bookstores more often than most I guess. They are rarely there for longer than 2 wks. Meanwhile one could probably insulate a house with the number of 2eds lying around

Blue 2e was a terrible edition of the game. Just awful.

It's the finishing price that matters and in any case shipping to Australia can easily cost as much or more than the purchase.

I got my copy from Nobleknightgames. Not cheap but their service is excellent.

Metabarons was very pretty, its true.

Too bad that the setting book was never translated into English. I didn't see it but it was a stat-less universe sourcebook aimed at both gamers and fans of the comic book.
(At one point Fanpro thought about doing a German edition of Metabarons, and I remember one of their reps raving about especially the second book. They translated the full color quickstart booklet but apparently the market response was not enough to follow through with the full game.)

Yes - depends also on the edition. My group's been using the 2nd Edition Expanded and Revised, and that tends to go at a higher price than the 1st or 2nd edition.

There's nothing wrong with 2nd edition. It's perfectly fine. I prefer how initiative and reactions work in 2e rather than 2e R&E.

Yeah I've actually never seen a physical copy of 3rd edition, though I've heard good things about it for years.

I deserved that.

I totally thought that you meant an actual 3rd edition of the game.

There is a fan-translated PDF of the universe book out there online. Don't know how legal it is so I won't paste links or anything >.>

I was more interested in seeing a huge oversized book with the same production quality as the rule book. PDFs don't do much for me.

(The only fan translation of an RPG that I felt ok about was Ryuu Tama because it was only shared with people who proved that they had bought the original Japanese book.)
