Went to the page, read about it, and then to the Modiphius page to buy the book where it estimated shipping at $37 for untracked US Post Office?? For a single book? The shipping is almost as much as the book. Speaking of Star Trek, what kind of parallel universe did I wake up in? That is insane!
Certainly more expensive than a PDF. π€π½
Did you go to their main site or to the US one? Shipping from the EU/UK is outrageous but their domestic shipping is usually reasonable
Edit: Shipping from https://modiphius.us seems to be about $11.50, which is still high but quite a bit less than $37.
Weird, I did the shipping calculator before the checkout and got that number, and I was on the en-us site. Maybe it's just a bug.
Do you maybe live in a wizard's tower at the top of a weirdly tall, spindly mountain? That would explain it.
LOL.. I wish.
Maybe itβs a Ferengi venture?
I guarantee it will be on a site like Amazon eventually.
Edit: or now. https://shorturl.at/loU07
I have emailed my local gamestore to see if he is going to pick up copies. I will get it from him if he picks some up. He has the Star Trek Adventure RPG books, so I am guessing he can add this to his next order.
Yeah, shipping is insane especially if you don't live in the US or the UK. If you have a local game store or one relatively nearby, it might be better to order from there. I bought most of mine from a local store and it was cheaper than the price on Modiphius' US site and no shipping charge because I could go pick it up.
I picked up the pdf. This is perfect timing since the D&D campaign I've been playing in for 3 years ends on Monday. It looks amazing so far, but I haven't gotten too deep into it. I will likely buy the book when I can. They also have a Lower Decks campaign setting which I absolutely am going to pick up when I can.
If the LD campaign isn't extremely funny, I would be disappointed.
