Interested to hear views from anyone who has picked this up as I am swithering. 27 quid is a lot to splash on a pdf. Especially as I already have the 1st Mongoose Ed Spinward Marches and Deneb books (as well as versions of the Marches in other editions). The blurb says there is loads of new stuff in this version but... really?

- Thread starter Marchand
- Start date
Oh, yeah - we added a lot
Deneb is completely re-written, the Marches completely re-edited, and we took absolutely every opportunity to add gaming info - so there are loads of new ships, creatures, playable alien races, and oodles more!

The need for this puzzles me.

We are expecting to see it in around 3 months.
Well, they are all canon in this book - but if you are talking about things that have appeared in previous books, yes. Including the Kian
There is an impressive amount of game mechanics, including aliens, vehicles, and ships. The material is similar to the earlier Spinward Marches and Deneb books, but there is on average one additional world description for each subsector. So all told there is a lot of new material. And what has been carried over has been re-edited or re-written.
