Usagi Role Playing books: different editions question

Post by Casey Burns »

Hi all,

I was considering buying a copy of the Sanguine Productions Usagi role playing game book to read out of curiosity (i'm not a gamer). I'm seeing some slight variations on this one. I'm aware there is a completely different game book from 1998, but this one from Sanguine appears to have two editions, unless I'm misunderstanding something. Both that I see have the same cover art, but one version says "autumn moon edition" at the bottom of the cover. Does anyone know if there is any real difference between the two versions?

I believe those are just differant print runs, released a few months apart. The copy I have does not have the Autumn Moon Edition printed on the cover. There were two other versions released prior to the release of the Autumn Moon / general release version. The limited edition was an early release with a print run of 100 copies available for purchase directly from Sanguine. Then there was another release prior to the general release that was offered at (a) convention(s) with a print run of 30 copies. These both featured different artwork from the general release and each other.

These are the two editions I have. Unfortunately, I could not find an image of the third cover.
