MSRP is $12.99. That translates to £8.20. So I imagine a game store would charge between £8-9.

Your local game store can order it through their regular distributor. Most game stores won't order from companies as small as mine until their customers tell them about it first. Mentioning it to your local game store owner is a better way of it turning than random chance.
 
Print books are available at Paizo.com, FRPGames.com, ScifiGenre.com, and other online gaming retailers that don't do pre-orders. Once the book is released, the PDF will be available at DriveThruRPG/RPGNow and Paizo.com (so if you order the print from Paizo, you can get the free PDF right away).

We don't have any plans to go book distribution to mainstream book retailers in the near future. Its to risky of a venture for a small company like mine.
 
I was excited about this until I read the "Droyne Female names" entry.

Please tell me this is a typo or some other minor mistake.

I could see "Droyne Drone names" "Drone Sport names" etc but since the species has six separate genders, female just does not apply.

This is a major part of the setting, so when you get something that basic wrong, you are led to question the amount of material that is actually workable in a 3I setting.

It may all be good for generic Traveller, but then why put 3I races into the book.

Just a little thing, but enough to get me to hold off until it is available as pdf.

My understanding is that Droynes have 6 castes but only 3 genders: alpha males, beta males and females. Droyne Drone names is a typo. it should be Drone Male names (not addressing alpha and beta males). But I do admit that my knowledge of the setting is limited and I am still learning its finer points so I may be in error.
