I haven't heard any word about it coming back from the printers yet; as it's a large book, it may just be taking longer than expected.

Just proving that Synner is enjoying tormenting us.

Disclaimer: this is only my personal opinion on the matter, and absolutely not an official statement from FanPro US.
No release date available yet. The proof-reading of the edited texts has not begun yet, and I don't know if it will soon. (hopefully, it should start very soon) As this phase is the last one before the final final edit and then print, if we imagine it starts tomorrow, the earliest release date shouldn't be before last week of september. But Rob seems quite busy those late weeks, so my uneducated guess would place the book more around mid-october. |

My guess, 15 minutes after the ravening mob breaks down Synners door and tries to make him the center piece of a BBQ. I think he lives in Portugal just to get a heads up on the mob. |

Hey! It's been out of my hands for a while now. ;) No fair breaking down the door like that. Hey! Leave that... What?... No... I won't... No really. What do you think you're doing? Hands off! Hey, that's private! What's that bat for? Stay away from me!!!
Seriously though, Otaku Mike probably has it about right. Primary writing has been over for a while now, but this book was always going to require a lot of editing since most of the writers were not native English speakers (or writers in this case). Regardless, I'm sure there will be updates as soon as we know something specific. No use in giving people false expectations. |

What, the mob started already? They promised to wait till I could get tickets for a last minute flight. Well, I've got a message for you for all to hear: You killed Synner! You bastards!" :D

I was made an undeclinable offer to fly to Portugal tomorrow and head towards the Lisbon plex to look for Synner's sorry hoop. You'll get the latest dirt as soon as I made friends with the locals and found his hidey-hole (Whaddaya say, just follow the smell of fire and the lynch mob screams?). Sounds like a cakewalk :cyber:

To tide you all over a little while longer here are the countries in SoE as listed by Rob at RatCon and announced by FanPro D on their Forums:

For those not following the acronym, NEEC == New European Economic Community, I believe.
Interesting country list -- Czech Republic made it, Slovakia didn't. Poland and the Czech Republic are the two ex-Warsaw-Pact countries that have really lept wholeheartedly into Western European living (well, and East Germany, obviously). I guess the rest of the Slavic bloc is still living in confusion and muted civil war in 2060, eh? --K |

In the words of Bob Dylan (more or less)...it's not out yet, but it's getting there.

The full-sized SoE cover was also available for people to check out at RatCon, and I was blown away by Klaus Scherwinski's artwork (not to mention the pencil sketch which I always prefer and which had some detailing that didn't make the colored print). Indeed, it is getting there.
We also got a "hands-on peek" at the Character Dossier which was fresh back from the printers, and should be in stores soon. Even the skeptics were drooling. Very nice work Adam. |

It's not nice that Baltic States (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia) are not included.
Oh well, we are usually forgotten :D Still wanna get this one book and check out. |

Nah, everything between Russia and Poland was just wiped off the map during the EuroWars. ;)
But seriously, as I've said above, they get a brief mention. There was an interest in developing other areas but the biggest problem is space. SoNA had 11 countries, SoE will have more and new pan-Euro info to boot. There's only so much you can incorporate in a limited space and still do it justice. A choice was made to focus on Western Europe based in part on recent developments in the region. |

sorry, not yet.
But I assure you that of all people here, we're the most impatient to see it completed :) Last we heard from Rob, he said it was coming together nicely. I take that as a good omen ;) |
