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. |

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

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.
