Yeah. A lot of it is carried over from the beta, but that is to be expected really.

It's an extra rulebook at the table and is very well made. For £40, I'm definitely getting my monies worth, especially as I'll be using the GM Screen advice and running the AoR combined campaign for a new batch of players interested in the Rebellion side of the RPG.

Does Infiltrator have the same Talent pathway as the Beta book?

Got mine today, and if I'm also honest, I am pretty disappointed.

There wasn't a single change from beta to core book in the careers. I thought some of them could have used more balancing (*cough*gunner*cough*) and the Foresee force power needed to be better.

If you have the beta book, and the core EotE, I see no reason to purchase this at all.

There's some new world write ups, but I have the Atlas already. I guess I look forward to reading the new campaign info towards the back, and I think there's a new adventure, but otherwise, pretty lackluster for a $60 purchase.

Am I the only one disappointed this much? Maybe I had too high of expectations for "new" material?

*Edit: The artwork IS fantastic, I have to say. I just flipped through it as soon as I got it to look at all the pretty pictures.

I got the call I can go pick it up. Now I dont have the Beta but you got me worried.

There were a few changes. Scientist got a connection line added to the far right column. It helps.

Well, the canned game is different - that's (potentially) a huge selling point.

The Canned game?

Exactly the same.

Ahh, that feeling when the usps finally updates the tracking number to show it's coming on the 8th.

Got it too... The first time the Netherlands got books this early.

Had to drive over 2 hours to get to the one store that had it but gladly did so!

You are a beast to drive that far!!

Last time I walked to a store that was 40km away to get suns of fortune!

Holy Crap, Man!! You are a monster!

Mad respect to ya!!

Was it uphill both ways, in the snow?

That's a marathon effort.

Nah, the Netherlands is flat and relatively snow free!

It was a training exercise combined with a need to spend money...

Reading all these responses, I'm feeling pretty good about having not bought the Beta. More to discover.

I just got both today, and am very happy with them. I never got the beta for exactly the reason stated by others on this thread. I was ok to wait for the final book, and live vicariously through others and the Order 66 podcast to get my AoR beta thrills....lol.

Production quality is excellent, and even though the rules chapters are overlaps, I still am glad I got the book.

I got the beta book and I will get the new CRB eventually once the initial launch hysteria has died off and there are good discounts and Prime offerings on Amazon. Always good to have a spare rulebook at the table and I love the artwork. I will probably pick up the GM kit sooner for the new rules.

Best of luck. I remember pre-ordering Dark Heresy through Amazon and it arrived about 3 months after a friend bought it in store. And 2 years after Rogue Trader dropped, I ordered the rulebook but Amazon dropped the ball and credited my account after reshipping it. Amazon's dealings with FFG are cursed.

I've ordered FFG through Amazon before with no problems at all.

I don't mind Amazon for something that's been out for a few months, but for getting things ASAP after release, it's craptastic. Currently the discount doesn't matter to me at all since I'm still burning off the >$700 in store credit from my FLGS that I got for trading in my Pathfinder books.

All these merchants people are buying from direct are on Amazon. In fact I looked at CoolStuff and I feel bad if anyone ordered from them direct, they were gouging on their S&H on their site. They weren't charging half as much for shipping on Amazon.

See the thing is with Mini Market and Cool Stuff is to buy bulk. Hit the hundred dollar mark and pick up the free shipping. Figure a rule book and GM screen comes to about 60, then it's just a matter of picking up 4 X-Wing minis (which I would have done anyway) and boom - free ship!

But yeah, just buying one book? Mucho no bueno.

Well, I will be receiving mine on Friday the 11th. I am stoked.

Ordered the GM's kit as well.
