       Well this is one hell of a tome. Picked it up for some research (thanks @lextenebris for the head’s up) and am seriously impressed. One of those things that kinda sets a new bar.#SciFiArt #SciFi #ScienceFiction #ScienceFictionArt #ttrpg #ttg #Lancer

       @iamgerardthomas Aww I didn't know hard copies of this were about again! This might have just cost me some money...

       @andi @iamgerardthomas They are, and it's a second printing. You can tell the difference by comparing the covers. I actually think I prefer the original, but there's no significant content change for the second printing, other than the cover. Still the same old insane over-the-top crunchy goodness. For insane giant robot action.

       @iamgerardthomas @lextenebris The illustrator also has a comic that I've been enjoying https://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/seeker-of-thrones-1-1/

       @meticu @lextenebris Easier said than done. They don’t ship to Australia and generally when small companies do, it more than doubles the price. I had that issue with Tankhead… book was something like US$50 and shipping was 60. I am not a fan of Amazon but more often than not, it gives access to things that otherwise we could not get or pay through the nose for if we can.

       @iamgerardthomas @meticu Honestly, finding a printer locally who will print it in color for you is probably going to be cheaper overall if you buy the PDF than shipping a book across the ocean. As an extra pleasant bonus, you can have them coil bind it, or comb bind it, so it actually lays flat on the table.Lancer is a huge book as you already know. Which means having it printed locally would be a dollar or two. But I don't even have to ship things across major oceans most of the time, and I still like to have a fair number of my books printed locally and bound properly, especially if I know I'm going to be referencing them fairly often.

       @lextenebris @meticu Australia is not America - I’ve lived in both. So what you can do there reasonably easily, is a right expensive PIA here. Bought it on Amazon (AU), free Prime shipping and was in my hands the next day. No ships involved :)
