I plan to make most of the earlier books available again in PDF form. However, I have plans to give them all new layouts and additional art later, but that takes time. Until that happens, I won't likely have POD options for these other books, but you can expect to see that option sometime this year. The content of the books won't change much, just the appearance.James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-67756987408682503342012-01-02T12:17:24.721-05:002012-01-02T12:17:24.721-05:00One thing you might go in and correct for future p...<i>One thing you might go in and correct for future purchases is the bleed tab on the chapter 9 starships section.

My only gripe is that when choosing a non-human race I have to jump a chapter ahead and then come back. Just a pet peeve of mine. It seems that every rpg book ever made has some bit of jumping chapters during character creation... anyway, Thousand Suns is truly a stellar(HA!) product.joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12351926278188565029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-25259771088184418442011-12-21T19:26:00.027-05:002011-12-21T19:26:00.027-05:00As someone working on a sci fi RPG, my hat's o...As someone working on a sci fi RPG, my hat's off to you.
