How exactly are people getting or reviewing these books if they're not released yet...?

They aren't. They're just excited at the prospect of getting the books, because they liked the way the recent releases have been going and the way these look to add to the line exactly the content players have been demanding for the past couple of years. This kind of enthusiasm in the direction SR production is going is exactly the type of thing I've been trying to get across in our recent discussions. If people didn't like the way SR was going, you wouldn't be seeing this - then again, you'll probably argue that forum voices aren't representative. For those of you complaining about the recent landslide of releases - you should be warned there are at least a couple more books coming down the pipe this year and more planned to follow. |

Lindt basically said "I'm getting these in a week." I guess that means GenCon, although are both coming out in a week? And Krishcane said "These two books rock... this stuff will revitalize Shadowrun for me." I mean, how do you know that if it's not out? It's a simple question.
And geeze Synner, calm down. |

They are going to be at GenCon. Im going, hence Ill have my hands on them. Maybe Ill even have my fanboy moment and get one of them signed.
The reviewing is done mostly by our freelancers, aka the kickass girls and guys who write them. Everyone wave HI to Adam and Pistons and Dvixen and friends. |

I think Skeptical Clown is saying reviewing in the sense of "Taking a critical look at the book and reporting" while Lindt means "Editing/proofing" - I certainly haven't said word one about the content of either book, except from a factual sense.
Both books should hit GenCon, barrying a major printer screw-up. |

Sorry, that did come out rather nastier than I intended (must be feeling defensive for some reason) but I assumed you followed the thread from the start and had checked the links posted...
As Skarn Ka has already quoted in the previous page, the answer is at the top of the official FanPro Shadowrun site... though as Adam has warned major printer screwups have been known to happen.
Krishcane was only referring to the contents of the two books as described in the detailed Developer's Introductions of said books in my original links: SOTA64's Introduction & MrJLBB's Introduction. |

My only problem with both of these coming out at the same time is that it will be difficult to give these books the attention they deserve in the reading (and reviewing) process. Well, with my SoE review almost done, I have a better concept of how to make it happen. <crosses fingers> |

Synner, you were correct!
I am now a very happy gamer (and will be even happier once I actually have those books!) I must say I am very pleased with the upcoming (as well as the recent) SR material. Books like SSG, SOTA63 and '64, MrJLBB and Dot6W fill a need that has been left very much unattended for a very long time. Add the 'Shadows of' books and the 'Missions' campaign and I dare say that Shadowrun is now better than it's ever been. A big Thank You to all those who have been, and are, working so hard! :notworthy: |

I did, in fact, follow the links... neither of them had release date information. Hence, my question, since people seemed to be talking as if they had access to them immediately. As I'm not going to GenCon, I forgot it was next week. :)

You people are EVIL...EVIL I tell you...$30 this week, $40 next month, probably another $40-60 before the year's out...shall I sign over my first born while I'm at it? :P
BTW, you guys know if we were mad about Shadowrun books coming out, we wouldn't be on these forums let alone buying the books in the first place...my wallet's just feeling far too light these days. The Abstruse One |

Curse you Americans! You can get your new Shadowrun books at Gen Con and us Brits have to wait until SEPTEMBER!!! :grr:
I hate George Washington. If he'd have lost Gen Con would be here! I look forward to getting these books WHEN they are available. Keep up the good work guys. :notworthy: |

MJLBB came in to Indy late last night. Looks pretty sweet. I got a real hoot looking at the knowledge skills for the various contacts: Golf 6 for the Elite Black Clinic Cybersurgeon, Anime 5 for the Corp Decker, oh, and Roleplaying Games 3 for the DocWagon paramedic! :D
SOTA: 2064 probably won't come in until Saturday, from what I've heard. Rob is not happy with the printers right now. |

So, if I buy a car to drive to Indy and then try to return the car when I get back ... do you think they'd go for it?

Probably not... but if you drive *really* fast you might be able to get away with taking a car for a "test drive". |
