Running Wild, and Dawn of the Artifacts: Dusk are both available for pre-order in our usual assortment of print pre-order, PDF, and the PDF/Print pre-order combo! Also, our new Shadowrun Matrix dice are available to order!
The Adventure Begins... Sixth World scholars have long hypothesized the cyclical nature of magic. For years corporations, collectors and other factions have spent fortunes hunting down surviving relics of this mythical age. The shadows whisper of lost lore and a secret history to the world. A privileged few have come into possession of ancient items of great power and mysterious purpose, artifacts from before recorded history. Now it's your turn... On the surface, the job seems simple: escort and assist Ms. Johnson as she follows the trail of a man across the globe. The target? An agent of the Atlantean Foundation tracking a priceless stolen artifact. And the trail? It leads to Lagos, the most dangerous sprawl on earth, where simply surviving the day can be a run in its own right. Add in the biggest black market auction of the century, a powerful African king, and a plethora of the biggest players in the artifacts trade, from the Atlantean Foundation to Aztechnology... well, welcome to the underside of the artifact business. If you survive, there's more work a-coming... and maybe even some answers to your questions. Dusk is the first in a series of interlinked adventures that will take the runners to the far corners of the globe on a quest to recover priceless artifacts. Exactly who wants these artifacts, and why, are questions the runners will have to discover for themselves The PDF version of Dawn of the Artifacts: Dusk includes a fully-layered PDF so you can control exactly what you see, and six full-color maps! For more information, watch this short video tutorial. GO WILD! Some people like to talk about the peace and tranquility of nature. Their eyes glaze over, and they rave about cool breezes, fresh air, and flittering butterflies. They're not paying attention, and that makes them easy pickings for any of the predators, including me. The Sixth World's a place of eating or being eaten. Sometimes the critters are waiting deep in the jungle; other times they're hiding in your bedroom closet. Proving you're the fittest only ends when you aren't anymore. Know your prey—it's the only way to catch them. But remember, you just might be something's prey too. Running Wild is a sourcebook for Shadowrun, Fourth Edition. It presents a detailed overview of the animals, spirits, and other non-metahuman entities that dwell in the Sixth World: from mundane animals that have survived the incursions of mankind, to paranormals that have Awakened, to emergent animals that have found their own ways to embrace the Matrix, to the spirits and feral AIs that may not even acknowledge metahumanity. Game rules and mechanics are provided for these beings and their unusual abilities, but so are rules for characters to interact with, to augment, and to train the critters presented. Every living being is constantly in search of its ecological niche, Running Wild can make a campaign home to hundreds of them.

Let's make it Good Things Happen in Fours -- if you had previously bought the FanPro release of Street Magic, you should be able to download the Catalyst printing from the store where you bought it [either Catalyst's BattleShop or DriveThruRPG].

Fantastic.
I'm so happy you got Running Wild out so quickly, I've been holding my breath for what feels like months. I can't tell you how impressed I am with it, if the artwork is half as good as the writing it'll blow everyone's socks off. |

I find it interesting that Dawn of the Artifacts: Dusk is a .zip file almost as big as Running Wild...
Also, I had hoped it was just a fluke previously, but is anyone else having trouble paying with PayPal? I really hate giving my debit card number out over an unsecured network(meaning: any network! and even my own home computer...) |

Okay - got the updated Street Magic. DotA downloading from DriveThru now, Running Wild is lined up after that. Really glad to see the fantastic artwork for Running Wild is in place. Ditto everything Alexand said about it.
That Tiger Eyes! Such a tease with all her comments yesterday about 'it being out in 2009.' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Gah! This is taking far too long to download. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) K. @Cardul Sorry - didn't pay with Paypal. I just use a credit card (definitely not debit card - no way). I'd sooner trust MasterCard over PayPal, in my case. |

Right - got them both! They both look amazing, though RW is closest to my area of interest. Page 69! Now there's something I didn't expect it to cover! :o
Off to make breakfast toast, hit the printer, and re-emerge sometime this evening, I reckon. Adam and others - THANK YOU for all your work on this. K. EDIT: Okay - I have to say, I love how Frosty is starting to follow in the footsteps of her mentor. Poor FastJack! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Bonus karma for whoever wrote that bit of character development in! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Adam I have just discovered what I can do with the layers in the PDF. This. Is. Great. I don't know how much work it took you to do this, but it was definitely worth your time as far as I'm concerned. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

OK...yeah, well..I honestly thought the video was like "so, if you are running a canned adventure for the first time..." type thing when I saw it on the page(I work night audit in a hotel...my opinion on the intelligence of people gets lower with each passing year, and I figure there is the occasional decision to do something in case you run into the people who run into an door that is locked after a certain time)...Yeah, the video explains alot. |

QUOTE (Zen Shooter01 @ Jul 19 2009, 03:43 PM) What's going on with Street Magic? Is this an errataed version? Sort of. It's the Catalyst printing that's been available for a while, but because the original PDF had been published by FanPro, people who bought that PDF hadn't been able to pick up the newer version with the errata in it. I'm guessing that this fixes that. |

There still seems to be problems with paypal. Hope somebody is looking into this as the problem is only when attempting to buy from theBattleShop site.
