BRP Hardback?

[Pnick]

As far as I can tell the new BRP is softcover only. Why isn't such a key book being released in hardback?

The preview '0 edition' book is softback, but we don't know what the final 1st edition book will be like yet.

If Chaosium follow the same pattern as they do with new Call of Cthulhu editions, the mass production of the book will be in softback, but their may be an early print run of hardbacks too.

Nothing guaranteeed, of course, and I'm not 'in the know' myself, but I'd say that there is a reasonable chance that everybody on this site will get hardbacks if they want.

I would prefer a hardback too, even at increased costs.

Trip speaks wisely.

That's great news.

I stumbled into this forum today - it's the first that I've heard of the new version of BRP. Looking at the previews has, after some eight years off, actually got me excited about RPGs again.

Here's hoping that the art and layout of the product line are up to this high standard. Nothing puts me off purchasing more than poor illustrations and layout (see Mongoose's appalling RQ line...). Great illustrations can really inspire play.

Anyway, I seem to have hijacked my own thread. Eagerly awaiting future Chaosium developments.

Check out the thread with preview images from the book for a look at the layout!

Personally, I would only buy a hardback book if it was bound/stiched, not glued.

'BRP preview images', a couple of weeks ago. Just scroll back, you'll find it.

Yes, I found it,although might I suggest that somebody puts a sticky on that thread?
