Roleplay adventures on the fringes of the Star Wars galaxy
New post by FFG here: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=3965
Much of it is not new, but there seems to be some new info (or at least some new insights on old info).
Be sure to check out the table of contents PDF. Looks like there may be a new/different adventure in there (I don't see the adventure from the Beta listed in there).

Yep, new adventure in the corebook.
And going by the table of contents, looks to be quite a bit of new background fluff included as well.
While you're right in that a lot of this isn't exactly "news" for the folks that have been playing along since the Beta peroid, still nice to have this info in one spot, as well as confirmation of a few other things, such as more gear and vehicles as well as no Jedi (at least not in this book).

Hoepfully this is just to wet our appetite for the additional previews, they did a good job with the beginner game so I have my fingers crossed for more juicy bits of infobeing released over the next few weeks/months.
Unfortunately there is one big type on the Index, I hope this isn't the version that is currently being printed….oops…

Lookin to open that can of worms again are we? Heh heh.
A new adventure is good. For those with the Beta and Beginners Box that is four adventures (if you haven't played them) to start off with. Very nice.

@ lupex, what is the typo? I'll bet this is the published version since it has already been sent to the printer.
I'll be there will be more previews. And, I hope the beta adventure is posted as a pdf for free online (like long arm of the hutt was for the beginner set). Especially since they already have it and many people did not have the beta and get to play it.

Look at the top of each column, Chapter VII is listed as 'Playing the Game' but I think it should be star ships?
Its as if a Million proof-readers cried out and were suddenly silenced…..

I'm sorry, which columns are you talking about? The only chapter name I see is "Chapter IX: The Game Master" on the image of the open book. Also, I don't see how the name and # associated with a single chapter could be assumed to be a typo. The final product is more than double the length of the beta, so there could be organizational changes and re-ordering of the chapters to accomodate all the new material.

It's in the downloadable Table of Contents. Chapter 7 is at the head of the second column, and is listed as "Playing the Game" when literally every subsection listed undeneath makes it clear that this is the Starships and Vehicles section.

Yeah, that Chapter VII error caught my eye right away, too. D'oh!
Otherwise, looks good. Looking forward to more previews! :)
Why… are these boards… so… slooooooow?

AH! Thanks, I missed that link when I skimmed the article. I totally see what Lupex was talking about now. That's a pretty glaring typo, but if its the worst one in the book, I'll be happy. Surprisingly few organizational changes (practically none), so that was my bad.
About 100 pages added to the material/sections in the beta book and about 120 pages of totally new stuff about the galaxy. I think I can be satisfied with that volume. Just hope the content quality stays high. Also looks to be well bound.

I hope we see more preview of the book. I hope it comes out in April.

I'm sure we'll be seing more previews. FFG's been doing pretty well with previews for the X-Wing minis game, and gave us some decent previews of the Beginner Box.
As for April release… I'm still thinking early May is a more likely time frame, but late April wouldn't be a bad thing.

It seems the index has now been updated 
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to purchase the game as a PDF file and re-download a free updated and correction version as often as necessary?
I don't post this to be critical at Fantasy Flight, as I don't know of any company that tried this apporach before. (Maybe Green Ronin?)
