Been talked about on twitter/chat/sr4 site. "Real" info is sparse till books are in the warehouse. But from what we've been told it looks like Running Wild will fall after Dawn of the Artifacts (Dusk) and Vice. Dusk IRC is at printer and other two are in final stages.
Edit: I feel for ya. Running Wild has been on my most wanted list as well. |

Oh god, more questions are coming up: what the f***ck is "Dawn of the artifacts"? Can´t find it on the official HP as well.
@ Prime Mover: Yes, all the other upcoming books are just for the background, running wild should be the last core-book that really gives tangible informations. Even though critters are a really important factor in SR and except the core-book and the compendium (always forget the new name) we really didn´t get some infos about them up to now. |

Dawn of the Artifacts is a new "Metaplot"-Series as far as i know.
Probably heavy on magical goods left over from the last magics. |

Oh god...exactly what my black-mage-powergamer-soul needs. Where is this metaplot discussed? I own most of the recent published books, do i have to read them more careful or is it just upcoming?
Btw: thanks for the answer. How´s the weather around the "Big Willy"? ^^ |

Regarding Dawn of teh Artifacts, it was announced at Gen Con last year. And all that was said then was something along the lines of "If you think about the title, that probably tells you all you really need to know". I find this statement to be true (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

sounds like "the book that never was published...just a rumor...some should have seen it but they have never been found afterwards"^^

Too bright for my sensible eyes. And windy. Really windy. I like it ^^ This metaplot won't be discussed anytime soon. Tiggy, erm, Tiger Eyes, gets to write it as far as i know. I don't have anything against her, but seeing as how Uncle Ancient is my favourite writer, he has been with SR for quite some time and especially been involved in most things Fluff/Background and i like his Style i am still hoping he will have a certain Influence on those Books. Also, there are going to be 3 Books. |

The most disappointing aspect here is that Feral Cities and Running Wild would at least appear to work together. Right now I have a dead fiction half waiting for life. The following is humor and a song quote I feel related to Catalyst's approach to schedules, dates, and hyping up projects for years: QUOTE If it wasn't for disappointment, I wouldn't have any appointments BlueMax /because they don't do release dates //get it? |

@ Stahlseele: down here near stuttgart we have some pretty clouds i have to say. I like rain, maybe this is the reason i like to play in seattle.^^ I thought i would be informed about SR, but if i see you and your collegues, I realize there is still a lot of input that needs to be collected.^^
So i have to find Excalibur by myself and shouldn´t wait for the books, eh? Hmpf....I agree with Blue Max...sometimes the time-shedule of our SR-planners differ from our dreams and wishes.^^ |

I can't wait to see Running Wild in print. It's going to put the SR2 & 3's "Critter" books to shame. Dare I say- it may even surpass PAoNA and PAoE!?

PaoNA? PAoE? Do you really want to make me look in the FAQ´s to know what you are talking about? ^^I really hope it will be better than the last editions. Now that I have seen the 5th edition (SR4A) and the Matrix-book, I´m very spoiled. |

Dawn of the Artifacts will be a series of interlinked, fully written adventures. (By fully written, I mean in the style of On the Run, not the track format of Ghost Cartels.) Although, unlike On the Run (which my group played through in one night), DotA are short and sweet but I don't believe any playtest groups made it through in less than 3-4 sessions (except the one group who played two 12 hour days, back to back, and didn't do any of the 'side' bits or 'pushing the envelope' bits). And, believe me, you don't need to know 20 years of SR history or any of the Earthdawn-SR crossover stuff to enjoy these! (But if you do, you might find some fun little gems in there..) |

I only just realised that the acronym of Dawn of the Artifacts is either coincidental (but worrisome) or intentional (and extremely worrisome).

Oh God... my body is reacting in two manners, first it wants to rage because of the implication that i totally will enjoy it as your sentence implied. Second, i am just curious as how it will work out, since the sceptic in me thinks that the whole stuff will end up as a big pile of hot seXXXy ContinuityPorn |

I didn't mean to make you upset, I was simply pointing out that you don't *need* to know anything of SR's long history to play and enjoy the DotA adventures. In fact, several of our playtest groups are new to SR, having started only with SR4, and they had a rocking great time. On the other hand, some of our playtest groups have been playing since 1st edition, and they really enjoyed finding those little gems hidden inside the adventure.

Or they are like my players who have been along since SR1 and still don't pick up on any continuity porn I try to inject. Hell, half the time they cant even remember the names of NPCs in the very same adventure! Rather frustrating as the GM.
