News of a PDF sometime next week just totally changed my mood around after I came home to find my bike stolen. Is it going to be a monday thing I hope?
Full Version: Augmentation
ZOMG Happiness 
hell, just reading the "list" of stuff in there makes me go wild with anticipation.
cyberhand drone? (i just hope its more then just a drawing)
full body cybrogs
and the list goes on.
screw robocop, im doing teen titans cyborg

...just be careful when you run into a Changeling
WARNING: I do not have any info (beyound what you have)!!!
WARNING: This is my personal opinion
I do not put any stock in the rumors of when things are going to come out unless the word comes from FanPro (or now IMR?). Augmentation has had release dates (official or unofficial) not for 6 months. I know FanPro has been working on SR but.... to repeat myself, I dont put stock in release dates unless they come official channels. Especially when SR is concerned.
just a jaded dog...

| Hello everyone, it’s time for our weekly update. Before you do anything else, go vote for Street Magic to win the ENnie award for best supplement. Do it! I’m sorry to say that I still don’t have an exact street release date for Emergence. The book is now in our hands, though, and I suspect it will be in stores the first week of August, so look for it then. On the other hand, Augmentation is off to the printer, and I’m excited, because the book kicks ass. It features a whole lot of cyberware items, cyberlimb options, bioware, nanoware, and gene treatments that are completely new to Shadowrun, in addition to updates of the stuff you’d expect to see ported over from SR3. It also covers new ground with biosculpting, biotech symbionts, genetic infusions, biodrones, and full-body cyborgs. You’ll also find the usual fiction and source material flavor text, info on the corps who dominate the medtech fields, new qualities for augmented characters, easy rules for surgery, and an optional rule for handling severe wounds. It really is a must-have book for Shadowrun. We’ll have a full preview for you next week, and the PDF will likely also go up on sale next week. In the meantime, here’s an art preview featuring some of the new artists we used for Augmentation, as well as a few of our regulars: |

It's a joke because of the character called Changeling in the Teen Titans comic (also known as Beast Boy) and the changelings in Shadowrun, which is a term referring to individuals who have experienced SURGE (Sudden Unexplained Genetic Expression).

Oh, C'mon! That pun was worth "Raven" about.
I'd be more concerned about someone who had Shape Earth and Levitate. You can't trust those kinds of magicians.
Or at least, you can't trust them not to whore themselves out to pedophile cyborg assassins and betray your team to blood mages.

I suspect it is more likely that it will be tied in with the weekly update.

Well I've just scrolled back through the news section of the site and found updates occuring on two Fridays, one Wednesday and a Tuesday. So now I have no idea!
Ugh; yeah, that's probably more confusing than it needs to be, since the shadowrunrpg.com server is still in a european time zone. The Shadowrun "weekly update" -- which generally will contain a variety of stuff, not like the specific Shadowrun Missions updates or other such updates -- will normally be Weds/Thurs, since the Classic BattleTech BattleBlogs normally go online on Monday.
You're killing me. 
For two years I've been waiting for this book. Then it was supposed to come out after Arsenal. Then it got bumped up. Then there was the weekly update and associated posts saying "this week", and claiming 75 new enhancements in addition to 4th ed. updates of all the old ones. I've been checking the website once an hour for the last three days. And now, Adam, you tell me "maybe Wed./Thurs."

A watched pot never boils.
At least we're getting it before the Awakening rolls around! Me, I'm stoked but I can wait a couple days 
That's great advice, AH. I'll try to think about something else instead...
Nope, didn't work. Where's my pdf?

Zen Shooter, the only reference that I can possibly see that you're referring to is my note in the Missions: Patient Zero post that there would be "More about that [Augmentation] later this week" -- and there was: the art preview. I made *NO* promises that it would be available the week of the 16th-22nd, and as late as the 16th had the following to say in the Genetech book? thread: There is no final release date for the PDF or the print release, as the book isn't at press yet.
The PDF will be available the week of the 23rd-29th, probably later in the work-week.

He's talking about some remarks that Peter made.

Adam:
Yeah, I know. When I wrote "this week" on the afternoon of Sunday, the 22nd, I meant, in the next seven days. I see that I should have said "this next week".
I'm in a frenzy of anticipation and being pitilessly teased by one increasingly less vague ".very soon now" announcement after another.

@Adam or anyone: OMG Art preview? New or the same one as the emergence blurb had? If new, LINKAGE! please *puppy dog eye*

@frank Yay! Thanks, forgot to check there. *bonk*
...is it today?
Monday's Batleblog made it up yesterday afternoon, so noone would be stepping on any toes by posting a SR update. </hint>
Quick, somebody hold their breath until they release it!
Ensure to enclose pictures please

Is it okay if I trick this guy into doing it for me?
It's not only okay but encouraged! Props to the first person to photoshop him blue.

Man, I was just thinking, "I wonder when a mod is going to show up and shout at us to get back on topic." Then I went and read that one of our newest mods is a co-conspirator!
GET BACK ON TOPIC!

Heh. I didn't name the colors...

Dude ... you're drooling. Need a napkin?
I think they're holding out on the announcement until you guys are posting every 15 minutes asking where it is....
I think Adam was actually working out the last few things on it before it went out on the site, last I had heard. So pipe down and let the man finish his work!

So...
Is it here yet?
More specifically, I'll buy both Emergence and Augmentation if it comes out today.

Haven't posted in a while....
I really want this book/PDF...
I'll be waiting...

Man, I was thinking earlier today about how I could probably wait at least another week for augmentation to come out and it'd be okay, but now everyone's excitement here in this thread has gotten me excited and I want it to come out now.
They're geniuses though, bringing out the pdfs before the books, because otherwise I probably wouldn't buy the pdfs.

Heh, I need the PDF today if I'm going to print it and get it spiral bound to take with me on my vacation.
*comes home from work. Checks Battlecorp. Checks Shadowrunrpg.com. Checks DriveThruRPG.com*
Soon. It must be soon!

Luddite!
I'm going on a trip too next month but with carryon limits I can't haul books around. Anyone know of an affordable portable PDF reader? I'm planning on getting a Samsung Q1 Ultra, but I'm hoping there is a PDF reader for under a grand.
I've got something around $2,000.00 in printers in my apartment. Damnit, I want to use them!
