Is this meant to be $10? That seems too low. I understood the hardcopy was going to be $45.

*sees name in proofreading credits* *gets warm fuzzy feeling* :D

10 dollars for a pdf supplement is just perfect, and 35-45 dollars for a physical one is also the sweet spot :-)

I like what I have read so far, but I am bummed out I haven't found any new sample PCs.

I think $10 / $15 (Hack Pack) is the right price point - I'll buy a pdf and a physical copy, and the authors will get to eat a decent meal. I've spent a fair bit of time making my living via my creative endeavors, and I will certainly support the work I really enjoy when I have the means to do so!

The book is excellent and I enjoyed it throughoutly. I would like to point out what I think could had been done better: -population figures-I realise not all planets require them but places like Portal(Isra), Sky Ark, Krypton, Carnivale could use them. Especially Isra since it seems like a major extrasolar hub. -i think sometimes the authors cover too much scientific descriptions(what is Dyson Sphere, what are Ocean planets and so on)-this could have been shorter since you can find it mostly on the net and is not integral part of EP itself -Most Gamemaster entries are fun, but I wouldn't mind if the overall method followed entries like Krypton, Tanaka where the secrets and background is somewhat revealed in full, rather than Wormwood where we learn only new mysteries. All in all this doesn't change the fact that the book is very enjoyable. I also hope that some of the entries will be revisited-for example an adventure on Portal which additionally flesh out the Isra hub, and some mysteries touched upon in future books. I must also confess that after briefly reading the book I hope that we will see something like X-threats sourcebook, which will detail more of the main threats to transhumanity-Exsurgent creation, TITAN leftovers, xenoartifacts presenting danger, exhumans as well as agency that deals with them like Project Ozma(i think I will start a seperate thread on that).

I have to agree with everyone who likes the $10/$15us price point for PDF releases. I think that is just right for such a richly detailed and graphically complex ebook. I am also willing to pay between $40us and $50us for a hardcover supplement with that much usable information in it (the PDF is for me, the book is for my players). Plus, I can get the dead tree editions as gifts and get the gift-givers interested in the game on Christmas Day... :) The silk bookmark is just icing on the cake.

Read through the introstory and i loved it :) Can't wait to eat the pdf up.

Still nothing here in Austria/Germany :/ Amazon.de doesn't know anything about it.

My LGS is keeping an eye out for it and expects it to hit sometime in the next week. The EP fans there are disappointed at the lack of "All Tommorrow's Parties" style fabbers in the store for instant generation of books and/or Japanese Idoru AI bodies. So, we've got to wait. ^_^ "...they got no Muff-Lette, firemen fucking ate them all. "Fuck that," [Boomzilla] tells them. "Why don't you fax me one from fucking Paris?" So security throws his ass out."

Got mine used a seller on amazon. A few more bucks but really wanted it in my grubby mitts. Good Stuff.
