Wrong Weapon Card in Starter Set

Mon 09 Jan 2023, 13:51

have just bought the alien rpg starter set (physical) and one of the weapon cards says "M240 Incinerator" on the picture side and "Daihotai Tractor" on the other, the one with the specs - is this a known issue? do you think I have a chance to get the 2 correct cards?

One way to find that out is to email [email protected]

edit: ... and I haven't seen this before so I don't know if this is common. Regardless FL probably wants to know about it.

I’m guessing you also have the 2022 Made in Poland reprint? Thanks for pointing it out, I hadn’t noticed that issue yet but yeah I have the same problem.

What I did notice was how the quality of all of the materials in the reprint starter set is much lower/cheaper than the made in China editions which is extremely disappointing. I received my starter set along with the core book, DoW and HoD sets and the quality difference of the starter set compared to the rest is really disappointing. I’m compiling a list to email to FL when I have a chance to ask for a comment.

Out of curiosity, is page 20 of the starter rules book blurry as hell for you too?

My set had the same misprinted card. After contacting support they sent me a new copy of the box but that has the same issue with the same card.
It seem that at least part if not the whole reprint for the starter box has the same issue.

I haven't decided yet should I continue to messaging their support about this or do I just accept that the two cards are how they are.

yes - however, the rest of the quality is fine for me

Also, the dice are not engraved (as specified in the product text), looks and feels a lot cheaper. I think the map are of thinner paper also.

Have the same misprint with the card.

Wonder if the dice sets outside the starter set still are engraved.
