Beam us up for this one, Scotty. IDW Publishing and pay-what-you-want plus charity digital distributors Humble Bundle are teaming up once again to bring more than $270 worth of digital comic books from the Star Trek franchise to fans. Star Trek fans can pay what they want while choosing to support the comic creators and select charities.
For those that are unfamiliar with it, Humble Bundle organizes pay-what-you-want plus charity promotions for awesome digital content and puts the power directly in the hands of the consumers, offering them fully-featured titles at prices they set themselves. Consumers pay what they want and decide how to allocate their money between content creators, charity and a humble tip.
The digital comics available for pay-what-you-want are Star Trek Classics Vol. 1, Star Trek Classics Vol. 2, Star Trek: Best of Klingons and Star Trek: Gold Key Archives Vol. 1. Those who pay more than the average price will also receive Star Trek: The Next Generation – Hive, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Burden of Knowledge and Star Trek: Mirror Images. Customers who pay $15 or more will receive all of the above, plus Star Trek: Countdown, Star Trek: Movie Adaptation, Star Trek Nero, Star Trek: Spock Reflections, Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness and Star Trek Vol. 1, bringing the bundle to a galactic total of 66 digital comic book issues from the Star Trek franchise.
The Humble Star Trek Bundle supports The Hero Initiative, a non-profit organization that provides a financial safety net for comic creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life and an avenue back into paying work. Thanks to the generosity of the community, Humble Bundle purchasers have contributed more than $44 million toward charity to date.
The Humble Star Trek Bundle presented by IDW ends on Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 11 a.m. PDT.

Fantasy Flight Games has posted an update about the beta test for their Star Wars: Force and Destiny roleplaying game. Early copies of the game were on sale at Gen Con and the idea is the community will provide feedback for the game.
Fantasy Flight is holding off that feedback for a bit. The company is going to wait until copies of the beta are available in stores before they start posting updates, so they can get opinions and feedback from them as well.
The beta process of the game will run for eight to ten weeks depending on feedback and the changes that need to be made. You can discuss the game with others in a dedicated forum. You can also submit feedback to them directly at forceanddestinybeta@fantasyflightgames.com.
Throughout the process, the company will also be posting updates and additions they’re considering after reviewing the feedback. The first beta update should be released September 9th.
