best things come to those who wait - like games where you have to wait 2 weeks for the next run.

Now no offence here Lars but I do believe he is on the serious stuff as I do believe that Battletech has always earned more money than Shadowrun. As a new publisher that has long standing ties to Battletech I would think IMR knows this and thus they feel it is better to put out Battletech product rather than Shadowrun product at the moment. Now don't get me wrong just because I believe Battletech makes money doesn't mean I don't want Shadowrun products I am and always will be a Shadowrun junkie. It's just business to them as the new publisher they want to put out that which will generate cash faster. Also Battletech books seem to me at least to come out faster than Shadowrun books, which is probably due to the greater demand of that game. But I fear not Shadowrun has a following and it did win awards lately so I know it'll continue hopefully very soon. |

Actually, the situation is a little simpler than that: There were a ton of BattleTech books almost ready to go to press, and some of them were related [the Box Set ties into a book called Starterbook: Sword and Dragon, so releasing them at the same time is a good thing], and three of them were going to the same printer in Thailand ... so printing/shipping them at the same time saves money.
There was only one Shadowrun book near ready to go to press [Emergence] -- we'll start posting previews this week. Both Shadowrun, Fourth Edition sales and Classic BattleTech Total Warfare [new core rulebook released in 2006, for those who don't know] sales have been very strong. The differences in speed between SR and CBT releases under FanPro is generally due to the SR developer also being in charge of running FanPro, while the BattleTech developer had more work-time to devote to actual game development. That problem has been fixed with Catalyst [although things are still young and crazy enough that we're obviously not going to see *instant* results.] |

Well as Adam said read the site but if you can't seem to pull that off......
It says you can pick your Arse up around Nov. which means at the least you can have a new Arse for Christmas. |

Any chance that Arse or Aug will have any magic love? Personally I doubt Augmentation will (It being teh cyber book :cyber: ) But might Arsenal have any magic goodies? My adepts are feeling unloved. :(

Um ok Street Magic is the book for magic.
Augmentaion is Cyber/Bioware and other stuff. Arsenal is for the most part all about weapons. |

I'm guessing Aug will have something similar to cybermancy in it...

Oh ye mighty powers that be,
Having read the news of the deal with Alliance for distribution Iβm curious if Catalyst will continue to distribute through ACD as well, or if the Alliance deal was in some way exclusive. One of my local game shops deals with ACD exclusively since he doesnβt do enough volume to use Alliance. Will he be able to get new SR and CBT products through ACD? Is that just something in the works and not finalized? Was the alliance deal exclusive? Best regards, Your humble servant... |

Our agreement with Alliance is not exclusive; weβll be selling product to other distributors, although weβre still hashing things out with many of them. Weβll be posting a full list of who our products will be available from soon, and it should include the βusual suspects.β?

Another random question, but what if any difference is this going to make to the program of releasing the old books in electronic format? I know that it pretty much shut down after the main guy doing it suffered a heart attack or something similar IIRC so was wondering if Catalyst was going to be doing anything with it.

It's spelled: Keyser SΓΆze. You have to put the umlaut (those little two dots) over the 'o' in Soze to make it a long sound. EDIT: thanks for the assist, pbangarth. |
