Since it seems a bunch of us are still awake and waiting, what are the chances we will actually be able to download at midnight? And is that Eastern US Timezone, or something else?

My bet? 0% I think the download will be up sometime in the afternoon.

Pretty cool picture of the weaponsexpert though. At www.shadowrunrpg.com I mean.

I guess I will stare at that until tomorrow. Then for 8 more hours because of the time difference.

I really like the weaponsexpert picture, though i don't get the ruby coloured glowing gems on her ear bud/mic. That is so not stealth.

But minor detail, and the colour splash really works for the picture itself. Maybe they don't actually glow. *shrug*
One thing i haven't seen anyone mention. She's mundane and w/o implants.

Have you ever played Splinter Cell? Sam Fisher has these tripple flashlight goggles that could be spoted a mile away, and on his back is a mobile phone that shines just as bright. But it sure looks cool when heŽs standin in the dark and all you see is that three-eyed gaze. And besides, you wouldnŽt be able to steer him if he was entirely invisible, would you? Not exactly relevant to this issue, but itŽs an similar example. I think youŽre right about the color splash working for the picture.

We were given the wrong release date, and Adam knows it. HeŽll have it up as soon as he can I bet. I might just wait until friday myself. Might be better for my health that constantly checking on the computer for 2 days.

Given the wrong release date? Oops, that's an issue as that FAQ has been posted all over the place, GamingReport, RPGNews, and a whole slew of other roleplaying sites, they're all reporting a PDF release of today. Aw well, these things happen, just have to wait another day.

True, but those that can make it to GenCon aren't as concerned about when the .pdf is available, since they can get their hands on the hardcopy.

That would be funny... SR4 delayed because Adam passed out from a lack of sleep and spent all of today sleeping.

He (Adam) indicated that the Wednesday release date was an error. The PDF will be released sometime tomorrow (Thursday, August 18, 2005).

Gaah. Tomorrow? And here's me just back from work al fired up to buy the damn .pdf. <sighs> Still a little worrying if they can't get the date right on the official site. And even more so that having identified it's a mistake not bothering to correct it!

Aug 17 2005, 07:40 PM
Well, Adam would be correcting the site as well. Which would you rather have him work on, the PDF, or updating the site?

This to me indicates that he incorrectly thought he had more time, and when he realize the mistake he was going to try staying up all night to get it out sometime today.

The evidence points very strongly towards today being the correct PDF release date.
Whether or not we will always have been at war with Eurasia is still in question.
