This has come up several times. The current release schedule has no definitive dates but the books will be coming out in approximately the following order:
Emergence [on final approach] - setting/campaign book set following the turmoil in 2070. Arsenal [on final approach]- advanced rulebook for guns, vehicles, tech and gear of all sorts. Augmented - advanced rulebook for all types of cyber, bio, nano, genetech and a few surprises. Corp Enclaves- second core location book focusing on Tokyo and LA. Unwired - advanced rulebook for the Matrix, hackers, riggers, technomancers and a few surprises. Further down the line: Feral Cities - core location book focusing on, well, cities gone feral. Running Wild - Critters, pets, and paranormal guard animals. Awakened Haunts - core location book focusing on Awakened sprawls and sites. Runner's Companion - Player's companion, think MrJLBB meets SRCompanion meets Sprawl Survival Guide. Corporate Guide 2070 - Corporate Download 2.0 |

I'm about the only person who liked Shadowbeat. I thought it offered a lot of very interesting angles for campaigns and PCs.

Thanks much, now can spend too much time looking foward to the releases. lol
Been playing since version one and 4th edition has really reinvigorated my grp for the setting, we've put all our other games on hold, back to running the shadows. Cant wait to expand the 4th edition goodness. (tired of converting a half dozen sources on the fly) |

Does anybody else see the illogic in the ordering of these two? I mean, if you're going to write a major book focusing around TMs...shouldn't they be given all of the resources of Unwired? |

The first book acts as a teaser.

Uh...I dunno if you've read the Matrix section of the SR4 core book, but...they've already got the perfect teaser.
I mean, it's got just enough of a taste to give you an idea of what's going on, but still leaves you waiting in anticipation for the REAL Matrix rules to come out. |

There are very good reasons for the books being published in this order and they will become apparent once Emergence is out. Some of the surprises that we've reserved for the Emergence campaign would have been blown out of the water if we introduced them in a dry rules context first. |

The order was based on the amount of data that changed, importance, etc. Including tweaking rules/ratings to make things equal. You dont want one uber-class and the rest all 3rd-rate. The guys are busting humps for the new books. I can not wait til they come out either. My mouth is watering waiting for arsenal. dog |

Don't worry, they won't make them magical. I believe it's been said several times by many different authors that technomancy (despite the name) is not magic.

Really? I kind of figured that's the way they were going with it. Not that I mind either way it turns out, but if they are not magical, then why does their power decrease with their essence rating? If magic is not involved then it really shouldn't matter. Also why can't you be awakened and a technomancer? From a rules point of view I can see them not wanting to allow any character to get to powerful and unbalanced, but from a setting point of view why would this be impossible unless Technomancers were magical already? |

You answered your own question. The flavor text of it will hopefully be in Emergence, but the real reason is game balance. |

game balance? are you crazy?
you mean, "they didn't want someone to condemn anyone's character to either an existence of suckitude beyond all comprehension, or to sudden painful death from getting up off of their couch"? because i assure you, there is absolutely nothing powerful about a techno/magician build until you start tossing around phrases such as 'thousands of karma' or 'massive house rules'. |

Could we maybe get one of the admins to start a new thread with the release schedule information in it and then sticky it so people don't keep asking?

To tell the truth, I was rather surprised that there wasn't a sticky with the upcoming products, and guesstimates on the release dates already up.

Well a couple of weeks ago they said that the offical shadowrun site was going to be posting a release schedule on thier site. So maybe they were going to wait for that to go up (but of course it never happened).

Swamped with BattleTech, and I have visitors this weekend. I've blocked off some time for getting new release info up on srrpg.com this upcoming week.
