OK, so far I've got this:

CAT26004 Unwired $34.99
CAT26302 Ghost Cartels $24.99
CAT26202 Feral Cities $24.99
CAT26005 Runner's Companion $34.99

Yes, those are for the hardcopy. I prefer them.

But is there any fresh news & ordering info about the other books that were supposed to come out?

No. Those are the only upcoming Shadowrun titles that we have made sales information available for.

I have the PDF and will pick up the book from my FLGS when it arrives. He's a big Shadowrun fan so I know he'll have it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The combined price on Battlecorps plus shipping is still a tad more expensive than just buying the PDF and picking up the book locally, and I support the local guy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

26004 for Unwired? I thought Street Magic was 26004?

FanPro's Street Magic was FPR26004; Catalyst's Street Magic reprint ... is not FPR26004 nor CGL26004.

I was wondering about that, why is Catalyst reusing SKU numbers for the new books, instead of assigning unused numbers?

FanPro books:
• 26000 - Shadowrun Fourth Edition
• 26001 - SR4 Limited Edition
• 26002 - SR4 Gamemaster's Screen
• 26003 - On The Run
• 26004 - Street Magic
• 26005 - Runner Havens
Catalyst books:
• 26201 - Corporate Enclaves
• 26301 - Emergence
• 26002 - Augmentation (had been announced as 26302 and/or 26009)
• 26003 - Arsenal (had been announced as 26303 and/or 26007)
• 26004 - Unwired

So three reused SKU numbers in a row.

Because we redid the numbering system entirely: FanPro just assigned sequential numbers starting with 26xxx for the Shadowrun line; we have a system where the 3rd digit indicates what type of book it is, much like FASA used to do for Shadowrun -- although we do it for all our game lines.

This helps keep it easier for retailers, as the stock number helps indicate whether a book is a "core product" or not.

Are those in release order? I'm hoping I can get RC before metaplot/location stuff like GC and FC.

Here in Germany it is officially summer but the weather is rather erratic: a few sunny and quite hot days so far interspersed with a lot of rain (even some serious storms) and termperatures around and below 20 °C (68 °F / 293.15 K).

I'll have to default to Agility though, due to my lack of athletics skill (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

The DP doesn't look good.

That makes sense for the most part but why reuse Street Magic's number for Unwired (as both are core books)?

So what will be the new numbers for:
SR4 Gamemaster's Screen (was 26002)
On The Run (was 26003)
Street Magic (was 26004)

Because for the people who these numbers matter to -- distributors and retailers -- the three letter prefix provides them with the clarification they need as to which is a Catalyst Game Labs book and which is a FanPro book.

The Street Magic reprint is 26001. There is no timeframe announced for it.

We have not yet announced any plans to reprint the other two titles; we never said we were going to reprint all FanPro releases.

Sounds like central Ohio.

Our summers are usually humid, with minimal rain, and temperatures in 85°F to 95°F range. The last couple years have been weird though. And this year we've had several very cool days and lots of rain.

Yay global climate change. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dead.gif)

Blame China they built Three Gorges Dam (no not 3 gorgeous dames) I watched a thing on discovery on it. It said the amount of water that is held back by the dam will offset the earhs axis by one degree. I later read something about a change that great would have some real impact on the world.
