Near as I can tell, the only things listed on the web site as upcoming are reprints of the Companion and New Seattle.
IIRC, The German web site has the cover art for the upcoming "Running Wild" critter book. But, I don't think anything beyond that has been "officially" announced. I'd look for the GenCon or Origins thread here to see what they've unofficially mentioned as upcoming. |

FanPro is discontinuing the Shadowrun line. i hear WotC may pick it up, and turn it into d20, though. also, everything you ever loved is now worthless and broken.

There's a couple of mentions here of what's planned as announced at GenCon this year. Note the plans may change at any moment and these titles might get shuffled or dropped, but the provisional release schedule looks something like this:
Mr Johnson's Little Black Book (out) State of the Art: 2064 (out) Running Wild - critters, infected, spirits, etc Loose Alliances - organizations, policlubs, terrorists, etc Shadows of Asia Shadows of Latin America Critical Error and System Crash (big event) |

Yeah check out the WotC forums, they've already leaked that SR 3.5 will be released in time for summer next year. It sounds like it'll be similar to SR3, but you'll need to buy all your core books over again. Bummer.

They hate you. You should wave a handgun around, next time you ask them when it'll be in. They'll cut the crap, then, and give you the respect you deserve!

There's a number of reviews on the forum from people who've bought it, in fact it's available on both sides of the Atlantic. Maybe your local store means "we will only be getting it in November" when they say "it will not be released till November".

Also, I have noticed that a good number of distributors have deals worked with various stores. Good customers = first couple of runs where as other store have to wait longer.
Look at WotC, they were only carried by a few devout holdouts for a long time, then bamn, the TCG phenonenom hit and their demand went through the roof, but they stuck to the stores that allowed them to survive for so long first and foremost. |

Well called the store and they are saying that there distributer is showing a November release. As some of you actually work for fanpro I am more inclined to believe you than them. May just have to order it from the internet.

Both were announced by Rob Boyle at Gencon this year. Critical Error should be a campaign or a track book. System Crash would be a sourcebook covering its aftermaths. Currently, the freelancers at large don't know much more about it. |

I'm not sure which distributor[s] your store is using, but SOTA: 2064 was released on October 4th, and Mr. Johnson's Little Black book at least 3 weeks previous to that. Major distributors such as Alliance/Diamond and ACD have the books in stock. More details about Running Wild and Loose Alliances to be posted on ShadowrunRPG.com very shortly. |

Damn, more SR books this year. I never thought I'd be seeing that :o)
Running Wild should be useful, though SoA and SoLA will probably turn out to be updates :o( |

SoA should be a bit more than an update. there's very little canon material on most of Asia. a few snippets, here and there, but nothing cohesive. and SoLA will have info on Amazonia, a definite plus. tell the truth, how much do you know about Metropole?
