FanPro ships stuff to FanPro Germany's f-shop ASAP, so they can start filling orders as quickly as possible.

Most FanPro products are printed in the USA.

How do players overseas get books before the players in USA and Canada do?
This is not just a Fanpro thing for I have seen it happen with other companies to.

Yep, I noticed that too. I could buy my L5R RPG 3rd Ed in Paris way before most north americans. But speed is not the most important thing. I'd rather wait a couple of weeks more and pay the book 40 dollars instead of 40 euros... Unfortunately, I was on the wrong side of the Atlantic...

Just as a question:

What is the US price for Loose Alliancens?

Loose Alliances is available from Alliance Games to retailers now, so if your shop is prompt and has an order this week, then expect to see it in stores this week.

Checking the ShadowRN mailing list nets this, and since it answers some questions, here ya go.

Yo folks,

The print edition of Loose Alliances has finally shipped, and should be 
arriving in game stores by the end of the week. FanPro will -- of 
course -- also have copies at Origins in Columbus, Ohio this weekend.

We have a 16 page PDF preview of Loose Alliances available: 
http://www.shadowrunrpg.com/resources/down...ces_preview.pdf

And an art preview: http://www.shadowrunrpg.com/wordpress/?p=18

And some desktop wallpaper: http://www.shadowrunrpg.com/wordpress/?p=24

Loose Alliances

Corps don't give a drek about the runners they hire. That's why they 
call us expendable assets. And forget working for the Mob or the Yakuza 
-- once you're in, you're part of their family for the rest of your 
life. Lucky for us, there are swarms of other factions looking to claim 
their piece of sprawl -- and who are willing to bypass the law to do 
it. Policlubs, magic groups, religious factions, black marketeers -- 
and those are just the ones on my block. Hooking up with an 
organization has its advantages -- resources, steady employment, backup 
-- but pick the wrong group to run with and you'll regret it when they 
kick you to the curb. So what's it going to be chummer? You can't roll 
solo forever."

Loose Alliances is a sourcebook for organizations and third party 
groups that operate by their own set of rules in the Shadowrun world. 
From political factions and religious groups to relic hunters and 
Tamanous organleggers, it provides a wealth of information on the more 
obscure parties in the shadows and the benefits and drawbacks that 
comes with them.

Product ID: 25006
Price: 24.99
Pages: 164
ISBN: 1-932564-44-6
EAN: 9781932564440

Cheers,
Adam

LooseAlliances is in the stores in germany since Saturday. Nice book. So far, only two problems with the book:

+ With Laubenstein/Prescot gone, I hoped for better interior art. Sadly, most of the art is worse than in the previous two books

+ What is that unimportant minor nation doing in the UN security counsil? What's next? Papua-Neuguinea? Who on earth put the UCAS in the counsil?

Gimmy three more nights to warm to sleep and I should be through. I like what I have read so far.

It's too Eurocentric! You suck! :P

P.S. I demand more shadowtalk time! My unescapable potential is ebbing away like the years are slipping from my lifespan. ;)

*Non-permanent members have rotating terms, the goal being to ensure representativity of all continents/cultural zones. The actual size of the country is of little importance as long as overall the council as a whole bears some diplomatic / military credibility. The only limitations would be:

- countries with no actual government or a government in exile (for instance today's Somalia),
- countries without an army or bound by special treaties (Switzerland, Iceland),
- countries undergoing a severe civil war (Poland)

Which nation are you referring to ?
And yeah, Papua-New Guinea would fit. :)

*UCAS: Er... I rather don't see how it *couldn't be* on the Council, considering its power and backing.

Thanks for the review ! Keep the comments coming !
