With the upcoming release of the advanced rulebook Unwired, we're dedicating this month's Shadowrun Chat to the new Matrix book and other releases on the schedule. The Shadowrun chat will be held this coming Saturday (21 June) at 10AM (PDT). The chat will be held as usual on the BattleCorps Shadowrun web chat.

Now I'm wondering if this does or does not mean the Unwired PDF will be released after the 21st.

Yes. It either does or does not mean that.

In one form or the other there will be the necessary info to have a discussion. I´m hoping for a fast transscript, my Saturday evening will be decicated to good friends and maybe a short session, but not the internet.

With 4 books scheduled for "Summer '08", they'll need to get the ball rolling fairly soon if they want to avoid heavily bunched releases.

The release schedule does seems a little pie in the sky, since it's been taking unwired forever. (Might JUST squeeze into Q2.)

But I don't get it. How are we supposed to ask questions about Unwired if it's not out by Saturday? I mean, most of hte big questions have been asked and answered, haven't they?

I asked Adam about this in another thread and he said that the support they get from Catalyst has allowed them to hire more help and streamline their process. If things work out we will be seeing books a lot more frequently in the coming year. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rotate.gif)

[edit]Oh, and I think the "rate limiting step" (as they say in chemistry) is the production (lay out, printing, etc.) not the writing. With all the great freelancers floating around they can certainly generate good material faster than they can play test and publish it.[/edit]

I don't know. I'm sure there are a few people around here who would be content to ask "When is Unwired coming out?" over and over for 2 hours. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohplease.gif)

If you get bored by that:

- Will there be a touch-up of the matrix chapter of the main book after Unwired comes out?
- What is the general concept for future errata (of all products)? A core rule extension is bound to create issues, even with the general quality of the latest supplements. Plus a complete ruleset could allow for something like quarterly collections of approved errata.

Here's hoping that they manage to pull it of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Looking forward to the chat, will be interesting to get some info about Unwired, hopefully the release of the pdf and the actual book wont be far of as well.

New text from the website, highlighting mine:

In the wake of our previews of Unwired and its upcoming release, we’re dedicating this month’s Shadowrun Chat to the advanced Matrix rulebook and other new books on the release schedule. Drop in and get some insight on our fourth advanced rulebook from the developers and authors. The Shadowrun chat will be held this coming Saturday (21 June) at 10 AM PDT [17:00/5PM GMT] and as usual the chat will be held as usual on Battlecorps Shadowrun Chatroom.

I realize that this post is a few days late in coming, but we have a winner. (At least with regards to the PDF.)

I was curious about what was discussed, too. But it looks like this has been totally overshadowed by the book, naturally.

Well, at least when Holostreets comes out later this year(according to the CGL website, anyway), you won't have to worry about that anymore, Adam, cause the person who maintains the site will be like Schmetzer on Battlecorps, and keep us in our Transcripts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Maybe you should have one of the other layout people do it? Didn't you twitter recently about a greenhorn doing layout?

Adam,

I would be willing to take a look at the transcript and format it for you if you would like. I won't be busy this 4th of July weekend and I always have spare time at work.
