echoing the sentiment of others that I want a print on demand version, Please!
I first played this years ago back when it first came out, and I'd love to have a physical copy in my collection

This version is so immensly superior to the dumpster fire that is Wrath and Glory that I'd laugh if it weren't so sad.

I wish this book had a POD version. It goes for an extortionist rate 2nd hand. The current amazon price is $1,325.99

Are all the adventures published prior to the 2nd edition compatible with that 2nd edition?

Probably a silly question... but I see a ton of DH stuff on Humble Bundle now. I also see that this PDF has been updated in 2019 but was added in 2014. So, I can assume there have been revisions? The reason for my concern is that I splurged on the DH 1st edition hardbacks and was really disappointed at the awful editing. I sold them pretty quickly. Ideally I would like to get a product that doesn't have similar errors. Are the PDFs offered over on Humble Bundle up to date with whatever has been tweaked here on OBS?

No they have not been changed at all. All they did is change the Trademark window in each book since it's cubicle 7 now instead of ulisses or fantasyflight. They likely contain the latest errata(ffg usually updated the pdfs accordingly). The Humble Bundle ones are the same as the ones you can buy here.

Hi there, is there any chance of a print on demand version? I'd really like to try and get physical copies of these games.

Hi Nick,

As you can see from some of the comments below, we don't have the original layout files, just the final digital versions. It would take significant effort to convert all of those PDFs into print-on-demand. It's not impossible that we might do that sometime in the future, but right now all our efforts are focused on Wrath & Glory.

Okay, that's totally understandable. I just find it sad that the only way to get physical copies of some of these is to shell out for scalpers. I hope you come back to them after launch, and I look forward to getting my grubby mitts on Wrath and Glory soon!

PS, on a related note, what's your stance on printing these out for personal use?

Quick question for the publisher:

Will the rest of the books be getting a 2nd Edition as well?
(ie. Deathwatch, Only War, & Rogue Trader)

No, as FFG is no longer the license holder for the 40k RPG license. But there will be a new game line called Wrath & Glory for 40k by the end of 2018.

Rules on shooting are a little confusing,
The game has rules for shooting INTO combat, ie shooting into a melee that contains both friends and enemies, but not rules for shooting a gun WHILE IN MELEE, either at your melee opponent, or at some other enemy in the distance.
I had to generate my own house rules since there is a rather glaring gap here that has not been fixed in errata:

Ranged Weapons In Melee:(House Rule, Since rules don't say)
Pistols can be used in Melee combat, rolling on BS to hit.
You do not receive the point blank bonus.
However, this means you can be parried (since you are effectively making a Melee Attack with BS instead of WS).
Ranged Weapons can be used in Melee combat, rolling on BS to hit.
You receive a -20 modifier due to the unwieldy nature of using a rifle in combat.
Again, this means you can be parried.

Firing OUT of melee combat:
No penalties or bonuses, just fire as normal.

Rules are actually on page 226 of the book. To quote:

"Ranged attacks cannot be made if the attacker is engaged in melee, unless he is firing a Pistol-class weapon. "

Thank you! This is great since it makes pistol weapons much more useful!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
