Thought I'd post the current release schedule up through Corporate
Download, since FASA's Web page hasn't been updated in a while.

GM Screen - Due out any day now. It's at the printers.
Renraku - Waiting one last piece of art. Should be out by November 1.
New Seattle - December
First Run - January
Magic in the Shadows - February
Corporate Download - April

Yup. It should hit stores maybe next week? FASA gets their copies first,
then assuming nothing is catastrophically wrong with it, off it goes to
distributors.

I'm going to guess that FASA should be getting it in their hands today or
tomorrow and should hit stores beginning next week. A guess mind you, but
I'll start annoying the fine folks at All Star Games next week...

>Renraku - Waiting one last piece of art. Should be out by November 1.

This last piece of art is supposedly very impressive, a piece done by I
think Jim Nelson. Mike said that this may be one of the most impressive
pieces of artwork in Shadowrun history. He also said that they still think
it'll be on time (current schedule mind you). It all depends on when Jim
can finish this final piece though.

>New Seattle - December

I think Steve Kenson wrote this, right? Means it'll probably be something
we can count on to be good stuff.

>First Run - January

I can confirm the rumors...Food Fight!, updated for SR3, is scheduled for
inclusion in this!! For those of you that don't have/remember SR1, this
was the introductory adventure included in the core book. Lots of us
Respected Elders cut our SR teeth on this adventure...

>Magic in the Shadows - February
>Corporate Download - April

Mike has said that he's going to do his absolute best to keep to a strict
release schedule. Sometimes things don't always work out, but he's said
that he's gunning hard for a solid schedule that will be stuck to.

This of course doesn't relate to the website, only the published books, but
hey, with any luck we won't have any more repeats of Cyberpirates, which
was delayed how many months?

Final note to the Europeans: Mike M. has said that he's going to Europe for
the Cons there these upcoming weeks. The big game fair in Essen that's
imminent and some other con in Antwerp also (this weekend?). So you folks
on that side of the pond get to meet/grill him. So hop on the train!!

Oh, this was information from a note that Mike M. broadcast out to a number
of people (I'm guessing this is also where David Hyatt got this from),
mostly SR3 and other playtesters and authors I think. So it's not like I
or David are special or anything; I just count myself lucky that I was
included and I'm sure so does most of the other folks who were broadcast
that note.

Thank You Dave, I was wondering about this, especially after Mike M. told me
he was trying to put the finishing touches on First Run *before* he left for
Europe.
