Buying the latest version of T20?

[Malenfant]

If I wanted to get the latest printing of T20 that has the errata included, what do I have to look for to distinguish it from the first printing? More specifically, if I want to buy it online, what do I ask the vendors to look out for on the book to make sure I don't end up with a first printing that they have left on their shelves?


Were all the errata tracked down, or are there still some that weren't included? The PDF errata doesn't tell me which ones were included in the second printing (maybe a new errata sheet for that printing should be made up?)

2nd printing will look like this:
3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

I don't have a copy of the 2nd printing but I believe it has everything corrected from the online errata pdf.

I figured it must have come up before... thanks.

Is there no external means to tell what printing the book is though? Or is the only way to tell to look at the credits page and those numbers?

As for the errata, there are some new (early June) additions printed in red there which are presumably post-2nd printing - is everything else in the second printing?

If you buy it on Amazon.com, they only have the second printing. When I first wanted to buy the book, it was still first printing, and none was available on amazon. It became available only well after the release of second printing.

With the second printing we changed the interior borders. If you see 8 small circles at along the top border of any page, that is the first printing. The first printing also has a much darker grey border. Looking at the spine binding at the top or bottom, the binding threads look to be red and yellow on the first printing.

If there are no small circles along the top border, if the borders are more silver than dark grey in appearance or if the binding threads are black and white, you are holding the second printing.

Or just look on the credits page for the printing numbers

Having just recieved the ref screen and Travellers Aide (dead tree version) I have to praise the high quality of these items. At once I was transported back into the heyday of Traveller. The text and art complemented one another. Adventures that you can really sink your teeth into. In a word, FANTASTIC.

In fact, I was a sceptic about T20 but it seems like that T20 has completely won over my heart and there is no other product on the market that can compete for my gaming dollar.

I simply cannot wait for the next supplement as they have captured the best of what existed in previous editions of Traveller and created a brand new universe.

Just wanted to give you guys at QKL some praise after a hard days work at the typewriter.

I look forward to recieving GtoD which I will get sometime in August and hope that you will maybe consider releasing more dead tree versions of the fabulous Traveller Aide series...as well as many other fine products.

WITH T20 TRAVELLER IS BACK AND IT ROCKS!!!
