Mongoose RPG Editions

Any idea how it is possible to tell what edition books you have? Do 2nd etc editions have it noted that they are that edition or can you only tell based on the year? Was it listed somewhere whether there was content changes or were they simply different print runs?

The first few gamebooks had different runs, I think the RPG books only had a single run? You are right, I don't have an edition notice that I can see in any of my books, and I had my first few LW books replaced (had some of the original run books)

Are you talking about the two different versions of the RPG? The first one was more D20 style while the newest one is a D10 style, with rules closer to the ones of the gamebooks (hence the name: the Lone Wolf Multiplayer Gamebook). If you see the LWMPGB name on the cover, that's the new version.

Yes, the D10 version. I only ask because I had a scan across Joe's eBay listings and he has 2nd and 3rd editions (dated 2012) of a couple of the source books. Apart from the newer ones, the versions I have are copyrighted 1984 - 2010.

I'm just wondering whether there would be any content changes / updates? It's tempting to replace mine with signed and sealed ones, especially if they happened to have been revised although with the complaints about the combat rules on the MP forum, I'd expect that nothing had changed and they are probably just different print runs?

I do not believe anything changed between the various print runs of the RPG. Certainly no one has ever mentioned rules clarifications anywhere.

Yup, that's what I figured. I wonder whether there will be clarifications on the rules if / once the new publisher picks up this line?
