Hi,

What is the difference between the pdf and the hardcover rulebook? I know the basic rules are covered, but the hardcopy is 80 pages or so. Perhaps it is a more comprehensive equipment list?

Thanks,

The only real difference is the printed rulebook has some extra stories and a lot of artwork and old timey photos. The PDF is more stripped down and plain text. But as far as the actual rules go everything is exactly the same in both versions.

The printed book is a small softcover book though, not hardcover

Thanks for the swift reply. Any plans of adding more professions and more types of weapons (different type of guns etc)? Seems like good way of expanding (not to keen on the zoombie route..) and I can easily think of a few. I really appreciate that the RB is free. I just need to paint a few more models and I am set to go on my first shootout :-)

Yep, there will be 2 new professions so far. First is going to be the Engineer that I'll have PDF rules for soon, once Doc Lloyd is all done. With the expansion if you don't want to play the monsters you can still do the same old gangfights as always. We'll add a Monster Hunter profession and there will be some new guns added too, some made-up special guns for Engineers too like a gatling rifle or hand cannon that's basically a shotgun pistol.

When the time comes I'll update the PDF rules, and also make a PDF with just the new stuff listed for people who have the printed book. I'll probably be posting the PDF rules for the gatling guns in the next week or so, I was waiting till I had some painted photos to add to it
