Yeah, my PDF of the main Aliens and Creatures book has no text whatsoever apart from the contents, and the Creature Cards have some information missing.
Do we just e-mail C7 to let them know we're among those experiencing these issues, or what?

Mine is the same. I think the purchase is valid for a week or so. I'm just going to try downloading it again tomorrow. Errors aside, that's some nice customer service from Cubicle 7.  |

Purchasing from RPGNow / DriveThru means you can re-download whenever the PDF is updated. And they'll usually email you to let you know. That's where mine's coming from just now.

I posted elsewhere, but it definitely appears to be fixed now, and consolidated into a single PDF. GREAT stuff!

Yep, working for me too.
I'll have a good read of it tomorrow when I get more time but it does look good.

And lovely it is too. (Although I still think the Adipose should have Charming as a Trait.  ) |

It's an awesome read. Contains only 9th and 10th Doctor aliens and creatures, confirmed by C7 staff.
It comes with guides to create systems, planets and even their inhabitants! GLEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Come on now, let's be fair, the series 5 stuff was never expected to be included in this sourcebook anyway. I thought that was the reason for the delay ... I thought that they expect the series 5 to finish to put the new Dalek and new information about the Weeping Angels. If they will put the new blue logo they have to update the information ... |

Don't know that we'll ever see the reason for the delay, or the story of the reason. I'm just happy to have the thing at last! And my download from RPGNow has 5 separate files in a single zip. Much prefer that to a single file as I can keep my PDFs organised properly.

Hullo, Omega, folks, Aliens & Creatures in available at most good online retailers for PDF download. Contains (unconfirmed) all of 9 & 10's foes, Alien traits & rules and a planet & system generator for the game.As one who pre-ordered the boxed set from Cubicle 7, I just received my download code and all for the Aliens and Creatures boxed set yesterday, so I downloaded it and spent a geeky few hours perusing it. Wow!! While I was disappointed not to see any material for Classic foes, I was very surprised to see the stats for Telos/Mondas Cybermen, and absolutely *love* the star system/world/race generator system!! I also noticed some glitches, and places where I would disagree on a few stats, but suspect that a whole bunch of people are ahead of me in submitting these errata. Great stuff, guys! The Cubicle 7 folks should be proud, and I look forward to the physical box when it comes out! If this one is anything to go by, the UNIT boxed set should be bloody brilliant! |

Hullo, Rodreis, Planet generator? COOL, but, no 5 series monsters???No new Daleks???No new Weeping Angels? All this delay for what?? Fail! Why Adipose?? Let's be brutally honest, here. The Series 5 stuff was never going to be in this material to begin with, that;'s something for the re-branded material with Matt Smith's Doctor for later. (And those of us who bought this book better get some sort of arrangment for getting that material.) But there is a lot of great stuff in this boxed set, a good selection of creatures and beasties, and the star system/race/inhabitants generation system more than makes up for a lot of the shortcomings. |

And my download from RPGNow has 5 separate files in a single zip. Much prefer that to a single file as I can keep my PDFs organised properly. One of the things I love about the PDF is that it has the five or so separate files. Like you, I much prefer it this way, and am glad that Dom, Angus, and the folks at Cubicle 7 did it this way. Hope the PDF of Defending the Earth will be the same way. |

Was anyone else surprised that Professor Yana/Harold Saxon were not included?
Anyone catch any omissions? Matron Cofella should have a sonic pen for example. I miss anything else?

Is there any good options included for characters? I do want to buy it (and will buy the box regardless) but I would like to be sure we can all benefit from it first.

Heck, if you do it up for Linux as well, I'd be grateful. Nah, web-based ones are my speciality - I've not got any compilers loaded. They're more compatible with folk, so it'll be javascript or PHP and probably part of the Matrix, as soon as I work out how to anchor things in Drupal. |
