For those who are interested (and comparing this with the Limited Edition Hardcover):
- The art has changed throughout, and is primarily Season 8 stuff, with occasional pieces from earlier. Examples also tend to focus on the Doctor, Clara and Danny or other characters from Season 8 (Jounry Blue in one instance, for example.)
- The opening chapter "Trip of a Lifetime" is pretty much word for word identical, with minor changes (1200 years of adventures in the LE, 2000 years in the new book for example, or referring to Season 8 stuff in the Gamemaster paragraphs as opposed to the generic ones in the LE). The example of play covers the new "Seeing Eyes" adventure rather than "Arrowdown"
- Chapter two got renamed "Old Fashioned Heroes From Old Fashioned Storybooks" but is otherwise pretty much identical. The character creation example is Edward from "The Caretaker", Arrogant, Biochemical Genius, Hot Shot, Military Rank, Noble, Percussive Maintenance, Reverse The Polarity of the Neutron Flow, Outsider and Wanted traits are now in the core rulebook.
- Chapter three got renamed "I can fight monsters, I can't fight physics" and again is pretty much the same. Additional gadget traits are present: Bigger On The Inside, Compress, Dimensional Modification, Disable, Entrap, Innocuous, Track, Zap, Bulky and Slow. Gadget stats are also given for the 2-Dis and the molecular nanoscalar.
- Chapter four got renamed "Time and Time Again" -again pretty much the same, although the TARDIS section does get a paragraph on Telepathic Circuits and the Doctor's TARDIS stats reflects the Twelfth Doctor's.
- Chapter five kept its old name and has entries for Clockwork Robots, Cybermen (which have some properties of the Cyberiad version), Daleks (expanded entry, includes stats for Dalek Mutants, Antibodies and Sleeper Agents), Missy, The Boneless, The Teller, Robot Knights, Silurians & Sea Devils, The Skovox Blitzer, Sontarans, Spider Germs and Weeping Angels. New alien traits are added: Impervious, Infection, Replication, Resistance, Size traits (Huge, Tiny).
- Chapter six is now called "It's A Rollercoaster With You" but is otherwise pretty much identical.
- Chapter seven is renamed "History Is A Burden, Stories Can Make Us Fly" -pretty much as before, but uses "Deep Breath" as the example for creating an adventure, and "The Promised Land" as the campaign arc example. It doesn't have the adventure seeds that the Limited Edition had, but it does have full adventures in the next chapter...
- Chapter eight is a new one, "All Of Time And Space Is Waiting, Don't Even Argue". This contains two adventures - "Stormrise" brings the PCs to Batterlee, a seaside village trying to come to terms with a tragedy, but history may be about to repeat itself...; "Seeing Eyes" begins in media-res, with the PCs restrained and facing a highly perilous medical situation. Both adventures are pretty decent actually, "Stormrise" is the more conventional of the two, while "Seeing Eyes" uses a couple of enemies in an unusual way. I'll happily be using both.
- The book is rounded off with character sheets for the Twelfth Doctor, Clara, Danny, the Paternoster Gang, Kate Stewart, Osgood, Saibra, Psi, Courtney Woods, Riggsy, Robin Hood, Journey Blue and the usual array of templates.

Is there an update PDF for the previous edition? Not yet, but Cubicle-7 said there will be one (probably when the print version is out). EDIT: I should probably point out though - the game system hasn't changed, there aren't new rules as such, just new traits, gadgets, monsters etc.

It's worth pointing out that the Limited Edition book has sold out and Cubicle 7 needed a new stock of books, ergo, the new updated edition. They have officially announced on their site that there will be a free PDF update for those not choosing to purchase a new book at the moment.

I had to pick this one up. It's a beauty, for starters, and my crew couldn't wait to get their hands on two brand new official modules. (More original adventures, please!)

Just out of curiosity, how much does the Special version of Military Rank (p.35) cost, and what rank does it confer?

In the Second and Third Doctor Sourcebooks, it costs 6 Character Points and 1 Story Point, and provides a rank of Brigadier or Brigadier General. After considering the point: perhaps you could simply add the 2 points for the Friends (politics and military) major trait, after you brought the rank up to brigadier or more, and then have the cost for the special trait.

It's not even for sale from C7 directly yet, if the webstore is any indication. REALLY looking forward to this coming out! BTW, how's it in terms of errata, for those with the PDF already?

C7 doesn't have it up for sale, it's not on amazon and I can't find it through google (except the PDF version). Where'd you order yours harry?

$49.99 - guess I'm waiting to get it second hand or when it's inevitably cheaper on amazon.

Yah, I'm seeing some copies at random shops, but I'd really rather get it from C7 so I can get the PDF bundle deal. Well, dammit. I was just down at my FLGS, and they have a copy there. But they aren't part of the bits & mortar program, so if I buy the book there, I'll have to shell out the extra $30 for the PDF too. Argh!

When's the upgrade coming out, anyone know? I was at the Cubicle 7 seminar with Dominic McDowall at Dragonmeet last weekend and asked him about the PDF upgrade - he confirmed that it was definitely coming, but had fallen a little behind (I'm guessing getting the 10th Doctor sourcebook and the new All of Time and Space book out took priority, which is understandable).
