How many are there?
« on: October 13, 2007, 07:47:03 PM »
I know I'm going to sound like a Newbie, but I don't care.  But I am wondering just how many books they have out for 4th edition.  Is WizKids (however you spell their name) still in charge?  :-\

Rule books make 3.  SR4 Core book, magic book, and Augmentation just came out.  They also have a source book 'Runner Havens'.  I dunno what else atm.

new rulebook out: Augmentation

new canned campaign out: Awakening.

Augmentation is an implant/cyberware sourcebook, with some interesting new rules territory in the area of tailored genetics.

Awakening is a canned campaign centering around Technomancers somehow.  I haven't really looked at it, trying to convince my local GM to consider running it.

I'm going to have to do some research in my area see if I can't get some books without ordering online.  Also need to check in any local games, my usual group has kinda faded away  :'(

I think I have just about all the 3rd edition books.  Although as I mentioned in a previous post, I went to PirateBay and downloaded the 35 pack of books, but apparently I don't have the correct software to open the file.

Actually there is a street in the "downtown" district that is littered with them.  I'll check there tomorrow as well, thanks for the advice  :)

If nothing else, check Amazon.com. I accidentally bought some first and second edition books that were incorrectly labeled as 3rd edition, and I was too greedy to pass up the $1.50 pricetag.

Amazon.com does have some decent prices.  I actually bought some novels off of ebay several years ago at a quarter a piece.  They were in great condition and they were all great reads.  So perhaps I just need to do more legwork next time.

I've never bought anything off of eBay, so I guess that's egg on my face.

Honestly those were the only things I've ever purchased on eBay.  :propeller:

Jan 8th for US. The rest of you have to wait quite a bit longer.

So there's no weapons book as yet?   :o

I am genuinely surprised.
Not that I play 4th edition, mind you, so it doesn't really matter to me.  But with all the weapons that were created for 1st, 2nd and 3rd edition I had expected an expanded weapons catalogue to be one of the first things out.

Slightly off-topic, would I be right in concluding that the Smartlink and Smartlink II have, in effect, been merged into a single 'Smartlink' piece of cyber?  I only ask because the 'Ares Predator 4' (or whatever number they're up to) seems to be the same as the Ares Predator 2 used to be (ie integral Smartlink), which would be a step backwards in comparison to the Ares Predator 3 (Smartlink II).
