Hi all,

It seems the latest PDFs are not yet available on DriveThruRPG. Will
they be? Is there a reason for delay, like an exclusive right or a
period of time?

When will we get more modern books like Cannon Companion? Yes,
Shadows of Asia will be a nice addition soon I hope, but there are
still quite a few missing that I need to be able to GM with only my
laptop. :-)

That's exactly it -- BattleCorps gets a period of exclusive time on
some books, in exchange for handling the scanning/bookmarking on them.

My schedule is thrown all to wack. I'll see if I can finish CC over the
weekend and get it online on Monday, otherwise it won't be until after
Origins.

For those who haven't seen the new books at BattleCorps, they are:

Universal Brotherhood --

cPath(_86&products_id14 -- $10

Sprawl Sites --
http://www.battlecorps.com/catalog/product_info.php?
cPath(_85&products_id26 -- $6

Paranormal Animals of North America --
http://www.battlecorps.com/catalog/product_info.php?
cPath(_85&products_id13 -- $6

Neo-Anarchists Guide to Real Life --

Cheers,

Both. The scanned files have been run through a OCR process so they're
text-searchable.

Can we always expect the PDFs to be out almost a month before the print
version?

For most releases, that's the plan -- the PDF will be released at
roughly the same time as the book goes to press.

The PDF release a month before the book arrives in print form seems to be
holding true for FanPro's Classic BattleTech books also, though they seem to
be working a few of the kinks out. Loose Alliances and Interstellar Players
are coming up on 6 weeks now I believe.

Oh no. There goes my chance of selling the UB hand-out, which has been
sitting in my "to sell" pile for years.

Better move it to the top of your pile.
