עד שיהיה עותק פיזי יקח זמן, ואני לא בטוח לגבי מודל ההפצה שלהם. Onyx Path לאחרונה עובדים בעיקר עם Print on Demand.
אם יהיה זמין בחנויות בחו"ל, יהיה זמין גם בארץ. אם זה רק PoD תצטרך להזמין מהם אבל אז לדעתי זה יצא יקר.
הצצתי בקיקסטרטר, והנה כמה עצות מ Holden לקראת המהדורה החדשה:
• Try not to carry in too many assumptions from prior editions, because a lot of stuff has been deliberately thrown out or contradicted.
• System: A lot of stuff has changed. I strongly suggest reading the entire book, especially the parts where your instinct is to go "eh I know how this works," because that's probably a part we changed. Anima banners work differently than they used to, for example, and several Abilities changed definitions.
• The first three rules in chapter 5 are the most important, and are to be taken seriously. With wordcount as tight as it was, we didn't add stuff for no reason.
• Defense is not the same as DV and doesn't work the same way.
• The system has two kinds of damage rolls. You do get two successes for rolling 10s on one of them, but not the other. This is really easy for 1e/2e players to miss. See above: don't assume old standards hold.
• Ox-Body is really, really, really good now, even though it doesn't look very different. I strongly advise taking it on your first character.
• I very strongly advise using normal chargen for the first game you run with the edition, or if you have any new players, rather than the advanced chargen.
• Stunt standards are different. 2 and 3-point stunts are difficult to get and you won't see them flying around constantly. House-ruling them back to 1e/2e standards is one of the fastest ways to wreck the balance of 3e, so be careful with that.
• Willpower is much harder to get than it used to be, and the system is extensively balanced its scarcity. Again, this is one of the parts of the rules I would advise caution in messing with.
• Combat balance is far more dependent on group tactics than individual character build, and group fights have a completely different logic and balance than one-on-one duels.
• Finally, if something looks weird or you're not sure why it's there, give it a try and it will usually become clear. This is a really tough system to predict from nothing but a read-and-eyeball approach, but it hangs together very nicely in play, and is much easier to understand in motion than when examined as a bunch of disconnected pieces.
