"Into the Storm" is an essential update for all Rogue Trader players.
Yes, Xenos exotic weapons and vehicles are fine, but everyone else gets new elite career ranks (to customize your character, e.g. Flight Marshal, Calixian Privateer, Gland Warrior, Ork Kommando or Mekboy, 15 at all), new home worlds (Battlefleet, Penal World,...), new psychic powers, and enhanced game mechanics. Believe me: You want it!

QFT.

Had this for a few dyas now and done the odd little bit of dipping into it.. still haven't finished reading "Dead Stars" even

, but if you play RT then, really, you need this book.

By saying it I've damned myself to failure but with a bit of luck I might well get my copy of Deathwatch next week.

**BrookM**

Bah, I'm still waiting for any word on Into the Storm.

**reds8n**

..I like the Eldar Deathspinner, the Macro Hammer -- " suitably large hammer head covered with nano sized warp portals which burst open on contact"

-- and "Flak spray" which does what it says on the tin.

**the_dunner**

FFG updated the status on Deathwatch Core and GM's kit from "On the Boat" to "Shipping Now."

Their key says that means it should be in stores within 7-10 days. Here's hoping that's not overly optimistic.

**Miss Dee**

about blooming time.

**Alpharius**

I will, of course, believe this once Amazon tells me it is on its way to me!

**reds8n**

Apparently this and a few other FFG games will be on sale at GD UK

**Kanluwen**

And something that they actually locked off access to the GW studios to their own employees for

Sounds kinda like what happened with the original launch of "Lord of the Rings". Must be kinda important...

Thanks, it was fun book to write for, and fun creating lots of utterly insane xeno and technobabble items. Flak Spray was actually a shout out to Kate Flack, who got me into writing for Dark Heresy long ago (it was originally called Katarine Flak Spray). And the Macro Hammer was an adaptation of something I made for an old fan Adeptus Mech codex from even longer ago.

The Deathspinner is simply brutal - 4D10+5, Tearing, Blast (2), Reliable. Scary, scary weapon.

And the Burning Blade has to be one of my favs.

No I don't 'have' this book yet - Amazon still hasn't shipped - but I sure have read it.

That is cool, I met Mamzel Flack once or twice -- at Conflict London perhaps..... I think...., I guess I might be getting her confused perhaps

-- and I always dig little tales like this. It's a great book, keep up the good work.

Oh, and I thought that trial Ad mech list you wrote was pretty sweet, to this day I shamelessly foist it upon both innocent, unsuspecting players and the design studio with anguished cries of " see what could have been !"

..or something.
meanwhile...

That which I do not possess, I crave. That which I cannot claim, I despise. That which I should not know, I am compelled to learn. That which I own, I tire of. And that which I once called mine, I mourn. Is it the nature of man to desire that which we lack; a sense of untamed curiosity and unrestrained greed that drives us to have more than we need and need more than we have? Is it a curse, that we seek the unknown against all better judgement and heedless of cost? Or is it merely the darker part of ambition, the cost of our aspirations to become greater? I know not... for curiosity is something I possess in abundance, and thus I care not to look upon it when I can look to newer things.”
–Excerpt from the Journal of Parsimus Dewain

Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce that Edge of the Abyss, a Rogue Trader supplement first previewed in Profit and Plunder, will hit store shelves this fall!

In Edge of the Abyss, detailed descriptions of the Expanse’s famous worlds allow players and GMs to plan new Endeavours and adventures. Fight across the frozen surface of Lucin’s Breath, plunder the Egarian maze cities, and plumb the secrets of haunted Illisk. Study, negotiate, and war against the inhabitants of the Expanse: xenos races, the vile forces of Chaos, and monolithic Imperial organizations.

The vast darkness of the Expanse brims with legends and secrets. Within Edge of the Abyss are the rare bits of truth you need to explore beyond the Maw. Armed with this priceless knowledge, plot your own course to adventure and profit! Study, negotiate, and war against the inhabitants of the Expanse: xenos races, the vile forces of Chaos, and monolithic Imperial organizations. Learn of six legendary Rogue Traders, each a potential ally, enemy, or source of valuable information. Play through a complete, full-length adventure that pits Explorers against bloodthirsty xenos and offers the chance to plunder lost artefacts of the Egarian Dominion.

Edge of the Abyss offers in-depth descriptions of several important locations in the Expanse, including some never-before-revealed worlds. Additionally, you’ll find background information, statistics, and ships for the most powerful alien races and organizations of the Expanse.

With adventure ideas, location guides, and much more, Edge of the Abyss is an invaluable resource for GMs and players alike. This fall, profit from the secrets of the Koronus Expanse!

Weirdly the one book I really... don't care about.

Guess I'd have to see what's in it.

But bring on Rites of War!!!!!!!

I just picked up Into the Storm (looks really nice so far) from my flgs and they are expecting their delivery of Deathwatch books next week... so fingers crossed!

**Miss Dee**

Leisure Games says DW Tuesday (Tomorrow)

**H.B.M.C.**

Do they do online orders? If so, I'm gonna cancel my Amazon orders and get it from them.

**Miss Dee**

Yes they do.

Blowback looks good as well. Burn Notice style.

**endtransmission**

You were spot on with Tuesday for the stores getting their deliveries.

the good thing about overlooking our flgs is that I can watch their delivery truck arrive. The GM screens turned up in the same order, so I now have both in hand and both are looking very nice indeed.

Slightly annoying that they arrived on the same day as Halo:Reach as now I have to make the difficult decision about which one to look at first!

**Miss Dee**

Most welcome.

**H.B.M.C.**

So... to cancel or not to cancel.

**Miss Dee**

Do what you think is right.

**aka_mythos**

Hmmm... cancel...
I had heared that Amazon is a bit iffy on their ship out dates of FFG products, since FFG fills Amazon's larger warehouse purchases last; so any delays tend to impact them more often than the FLGS. So if you're desperate to get it, want a discount and not go to a local store... cancel reorder from another online store.

**H.B.M.C.**

Miss Dee wrote:Do what you think is right.

That's not helpful!!!

Would Leisure Games have a copy of both DW and Into the Storm, in stock, to send to me ASAP?

**BrookM**

I'm going to sit tight and wait, that's all I can do now.

**H.B.M.C.**

Coward.

**BrookM**

feth Amazon and feth Maelstrom, they would take even longer, discounts be damned. As things are right now we might finally be getting a shipment sometime this week from FFG, seeing as they could get no surplus from Germany.

**Kroothawk**

H.B.M.C. wrote:So... to cancel or not to cancel.

Good thing is: You still have several weeks to decide

**H.B.M.C.**

Oh I wouldn't get it from Maelstrom -

I know what I just wrote. Let's let's all take a breath. Good? Ok.

- because they are, oddly, slower than Amazon when it comes to FFG books.

**endtransmission**

You know you want to cancel. At least you'd stand a chance of seeing the books this side of Christmas

**Miss Dee**

and when sending out a no quater.
