Talk:PPC Manual: First Edition

When I/we (I forget) named the Second Edition, it was because we knew there was a First Edition. The structure of 2E follows 1E pretty closely, enough that you can clearly see it was the same body of work.

Except 1E was, according to the primary source in Alec's LJ, the PPC Handbook.

I'm pretty sure the name-change was because we already had a Handbook, so retconned the 12-volume set into a Manual. We didn't know, at the time, that there was also a named Manual...

Still, it doesn't look too bad. The quotes from Saphie's story all look like they come from Volume 1, ''So you've decided to become a PPC Agent.   ''That could certainly be the pocket-sized book in question; we'll just have to assume Saphie had the other eleven volumes stashed somewhere (or just didn't have them).

 * Huh, I don't think I ever knew about that journal post&mdash;or if I did, I forgot a very long time ago. I've been going around with the idea that all the volumes were your idea, with Board input. O.o


 * On a related note, the 2E page says the Manual exists in the Original Series, but last night I did a term search for "Manual" and couldn't find anything. Do you know if that just refers to the line where it says it's against regulations to take pets on missions, or could this be another case of naming confusion?


 * Re. the size, I figured it might change size depending on narrative convenience. Or it might just be bigger on the inside.
