We normally have been seeing the PDFs for sale before the real book hit the shelves.
Anyone have any clue when we will see the Emergence PDF?

I've searched Dumpshock. I've done a search on google. I can't seem to find a hint when the PDF will be released. From what I've read on Dumpshock, Emergence is the next book out and should be out "soon", but we all know what soon means with FanPro.

Just looking for some info, don't know if anyone knows anything.

Personally I'd figgure at -least- another couple of months going by what little I've read about it.

I've seen plenty of book publishers say X should be out by X date and it actually geetting pushed back a while for an assortment of reasons.

Dont get me wrong. I'd love to see lots of new SR4 books comming out and soon. I'm just abit of a pessimist because i've seen Duke Nukem Forever syndrome hitting alot of RPG books that I've wanted to see.

In the old days, there were fixed release dates. Then they'd miss those by any number of months evenly divisible by three, so they gave up on that. Now we get "coming soon".

You must become a student of the tao of FanPro.

There are products, but no release dates.

With Street Magic it just kind of appeared on the ShadowRun site one day, right near the time the printed copies were scheduled to ship. Personally, I think the pdf is ready and they're just waiting for the printing to be closer to done so the pdf doesn't preempt the print sales and kill them.

Maybe tomorrow, maybe Monday, I'd say no more than four weeks at the longest.

Or six at the ABOSLUTE most.

edit: My Tao involves NEVER expecting the book to be released. Makes for a very pleasent surprise when it actually comes out.

Glayvin34:

How did you derive those estimates? Ouji board? Or do you know something we don't?

Does it matter? Can you think of any estimation system for SR release dates that would be more accurate than that?

Hahaha.
The book will come when it comes, and when it does, it will be good. That's my philosophy. I have plenty of stuff in my life to stress about. SR release dates just don't make the list.
