Where's BullDreck's report from Origins?

Posted by: Adam Jun 29 2004, 04:01 AM

I think everyone who was at Origins is still busy recovering; I know I still am - I haven't even unpacked my books yet.

SoE should be in most stores within two weeks.

You know, I'm not that impatient to read that I did a complete screw up because I forgot that and this
I already know a Belgian who will probably scream "injustice!" and "unbelieveable!" when he'll see what happened to Belgium...

Well, time to try that bunker I build last winter

I will perish in the flames bravely, grateful of having being involved...

So it will be a pleasure to fire you up

Hey, don't forget to bring the hot-sauce. If we writers are going to be grilled, make sure its a decent BBQ with all the condiments, huh?

Posted by: Grimtooth Jun 29 2004, 02:48 PM

I got mine.

Went to Origins but have been so busy lately that i just started reading it this morning.

Still reading the intro.

Nah the intro's by Rob. I'll wait till he hits the pan-European introduction and the history...

Posted by: Black Isis Jun 30 2004, 01:15 AM

Hrm. Captain Chaos always struck me as older.

Am I in time to run away and hide under a rock?

Posted by: Abstruse Jun 30 2004, 02:15 AM

No, too late. We've already got tracking devices implanted in you. Give it two weeks after we've all gotten a copy...

You're not really a freelancer yet until your work gets trashed somewhere.

And besides, if anyone has problems with the text, we can always blame Adam's sister for it.

Posted by: Sepherim Jun 30 2004, 03:16 AM

Damn! I knew I had to run sooner and never show up here again! Still, I'll remember about Adam's sister, when time comes for it.

Posted by: Adam Jun 30 2004, 03:48 AM

Posted by: Sepherim Jun 30 2004, 03:52 AM

Ada is your sister's name, Adam? Sorry, had to make the stupid joke.

Posted by: Adam Jun 30 2004, 07:41 PM

According to Shadows of Europe.

You can always try this http://www.f-shop.de/showproduct.swift?TrackID=693&Check=iuPi9O742e95m3hr&CurPos=45&InfoLevel=&Sort=&Group=SRE&Page=2&Prodtype=SR (good luck with the language). Bought it a couple of minutes ago along with Smuggler's havens.

Aside from the fact that it's also not in stock there, I don't know if it's such a good idea to order in Germany as an US resident - higher cost, higher delivery time.

Posted by: shadd4d Jul 2 2004, 07:47 AM

As a current resident of Germany, it's okay. Plus it's the only way to get Target: ADL when it comes out.

Don

Posted by: Toa Jul 2 2004, 07:17 PM

I know that. I was just pointing out the fact to the mostly American population of this board.

Posted by: Jason Farlander Jul 2 2004, 10:22 PM

http://www.fastforwardgames.com indicates that it will be available on July 12. Insofar as Fast Forward Entertainment is the official distributor for FanPro (or something similar if thats not the exact description of their relationship) I imagine it will become available through other venues in the US at around that time.

Posted by: shadd4d Jul 2 2004, 10:24 PM

I think they're the American distributor; don't know who gets it overseas.

Those in Europe could consider F-shop. I do wonder, based on this news, when it will be available over here. Maybe I might get it in 2 weeks, Toa.

Don

Posted by: Snow_Fox Jul 2 2004, 10:35 PM

July 12? That's more that a Week away and I'll be a year older!

Posted by: Skeptical Clown Jul 2 2004, 10:43 PM

You must age unusually quickly...

I like their styles; it's less "cartonish" then some of the other illustrators.....

Oh, and keep Baxa away from SR...I hate his style....and he messed up the "Dark Sun"-setting for AD&D.


Adhoc

Posted by: Thanos007 Jul 3 2004, 12:44 PM

WOW! If the rest of the art is close to this good, I think we're looking at the best looking SR book ever.

Thanos

Posted by: Sepherim Jul 4 2004, 03:57 AM

Heh. Those picks are REALLY good. Seen some more, and they sure keep the level.

Posted by: BIG BAD BEESTE Jul 4 2004, 03:02 PM

Happy Birthday Snowy. Hmmm, I wonder what your hubby could get you a s a prezzie?

Posted by: Toa Jul 11 2004, 11:25 PM

To those who already have it: did they change the cover font? On srrpg.com it's still the mockup it's been months ago. I only hope they did...

Posted by: Ancient History Jul 11 2004, 11:30 PM

The one on srrpg is the one on the book.

Posted by: Adam Jul 12 2004, 03:08 AM

Incorrect; the one on SRRPG.com [currently - I gotta grab the new cover and upload it] is a mockup based on the first mockup, but with the final art.

Posted by: Ancient History Jul 12 2004, 03:09 AM

Okay...the art looked the same, I didn't srcrutiny it, my bad.

Posted by: lorg Jul 12 2004, 12:23 PM

Nice pics!

Posted by: Adam Jul 12 2004, 02:29 PM

Posted by: Nath Jul 12 2004, 04:56 PM

The two art pieces in the upper right corner of the mockup (between 'Shadowrun' and the product ID number) are not original and come from Shadows of North America's cover (the number displayed on the mockup is incidently the one for SoNA, not SoE). They aren't on Shadows of Europe, no ?

Posted by: The Question Man Jul 12 2004, 09:14 PM

Excellent work, I am encouraged about FanPro's commitment to Shadowrun. Good Art work is essential. I agree that previous supplements were too cartoony. This stuff looks great.

Cheers

QM

Posted by: Nath Jul 13 2004, 09:15 PM

Ada, the final cover was visible a few hours, but it disappeared, only leaving a line "Shadows of Europe". Normal ? Also, if you find the time you should update the front page, SoE pushing Cannon Companion reprint out of the "latest releases" column.

Posted by: Adam Jul 13 2004, 10:03 PM

Don't call me Ada. The final cover is online and working fine. SOE will be put on the front page according to my usual timeframe for doing so - within a few days of the ship to stores date, which was the 12th.

Posted by: Namergon Jul 14 2004, 01:24 PM

One related question, Adam: why did the SoE wallpapers disappear some weeks ago?
Bug or something else?

thx in advance for the clue.

Posted by: Adam Jul 14 2004, 02:33 PM

Hrm. I had no idea that they had - I wish people would email me about this sort of thing.

I must have shuffled some files around incorrectly during the Great Laptop Explosion of 2003/2004, and uploaded an older file at some point. I'll put them back up tonight.

Posted by: BIG BAD BEESTE Jul 14 2004, 02:38 PM

For those out of the loop, The Great Laptop Explosion of 2003/04 is a little cited reference as a predecessor to the Crach of '29.

Anyhow, back to our scheduled topic - any of you guys got your copies yet?

Posted by: otaku mike Jul 18 2004, 04:00 AM

Posted by: Ancient History Jul 18 2004, 04:15 AM

Mike! I've been meaning to e-mail you, your maps are bloody beautiful!

Posted by: CloneAdam Jul 19 2004, 12:44 AM

The Shadows of Europe wallpaper is back online.

Posted by: deeweef Jul 19 2004, 08:47 AM

Does anybody know approx how many copies are printed of SoE and how many countries it gets shipped to?

Posted by: shadd4d Jul 19 2004, 08:55 AM

I know it is available at Leisure games and from F-Shop. Aside from that, I'm not sure which countries, although I'd bet it's already available in France.
