Hi, Just a friendly enquiry as to when we'll see the hard copy of SR4A. The PDF came out at the start of March. I haven't run Shadowrun since last year, but I have a campaign reboot on Friday and it would have been really nice to have it to pass around. I've been holding off ordering several books so that I can get everything in one go. Is there any news on this, please? And while I'm at it, I might as well put in my annual plea for the PDF of Shadows Of Europe. I was told this was going to happen ages back. As I tend to buy PDF only for pure GM resource material, I've been holding off on buying this as well. Any news on this? (optimistic) Thanks, K. |

I'm kind of disappointed. I saw the title and subtitle of this thread and thought that somebody had recorded a funk mix of a Shadowrun song.

My understanding is that the hardcover 20th. anniversary book will be released/go on sale at GenCon this year on August 15th. Can anyone confirm or deny if this is truth?

Now, now. Y'all're too old to believe in SoLA. Next thing you know you'll believe in anxiety closets and critters under the bed.

According to today's SR seminar at NordCon it is well possible that the German version of SR4A might actually hit the street before the English original. It is scheduled for a July release and well on track...
(And it will have a short Germany-focused add-on to the History chapter.) |

The average gaming fan who does not follow SR/old fans who used to play the game probably don't know about the existence of SR 4.5 If a the 20th edition of shadowrun core rulebook hit the shelves in gaming stores or barnes and nobles and borders in all of it's "Shiny" glory, there could be a possibility that it could sell. Especially to the former gamer who used to play SR back in 1st - 3rd edition.
If the edition was to come out with a Shadowrun Funk Mix CD, it would sell even better. |

That kind of sucks because those of us that will be at GenCon will be looking to buy it while there and we would love to know well in advance so we can plan accordingly. It will be tough to be able to get in the doors early enough to get a crack at it. Can you even confirm if it will be a GenCon release at all or if that is your aim? |

As we don't have a street date yet, no, I can't confirm anything about the availability at Gen Con. If we have a limited number of any title at Gen Con -- like we did with CthulhuTech last year -- we'll set aside a number of them to be sold each day. |

Ouch. That puts a major wrinkle in my GenCon plans. Time to restrategize.

Toturi, Adam might be the Johnson who hires you guys to retrieve them from the team that took the books from their hiding place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)
Asumming there WERE any books at Gencon (I still need to get to that convention some year). |

I'm willing to wait as long as the book is perfect, with all the errata and issues discovered in the PDF fixed. No other RPG has had a chance to do this with a corebook, so I hope they take advantage of it.

I am REALLY hoping the Limited Edition, with its Top Secret Special Cover will be in my hands before Gen Con...While I doubt Peter Taylor will actually beat GenCon for me to get it signed, one can hope, right? And, darn it, I want my Limited Editions(both total warfare, Battlecorps limited edition and SR4A limited Edition) signed!
Oh, and Ancient History: I believe in Duke Nuke'em Forever...so, yes, I believe we will see Holostreets and SoLA...maybe even this year! |
