Cross — we just had a handful of copies shipped over for Origins and so some of the contributors could get their hands on them. General release has not happened anywhere, yet. We aren’t snubbing the UK!

Yeah great book for you in the states would be nice if it could make it accross the water so that us in merry old england can get it. I have been an avid shadowrunner for 5 years and it one book I cant get. Other than that good work catalyst everything else was excellent

@Kathie: You’re correct, the red dragon _is_ Ryumyo. There’s even a picture of that scene with Fuji and the bullet train in the new book. (goes and checks PDF) It’s on page 25. I noticed it last night when I gave in to the urge to destroy a set of printer cartridges on (most of) the book ^_^.

Is it still possible to put in a pre-order for the limited edition, or has that ship sailed already?

@Ophis – quote: “Thats not Ryumyu (first dragon to appear, seen from the bellet train near mount fuji). He’s Blue.”

Since when Ryumyu is “blue”? – I think, I’ve read, Ryumyu would be “silver” (body, tail, complete scales) with a line of red spikes/horns on his back. Is this description incorrect or non-official?

Yes, Adam, that’s what I said. I was thinking aloud when I posted “I’m just going to have to wait until we get a separately produced ‘upgrade’ for those of us who still have the SR4 main book.”
I’ve had the unfortunate experience of purchasing a RPG book, then there’s an ‘reissue’ promising better/streamlined/quicker rules, then shelling out almost double for said book and discovering little or nothing has changed.
I’m NOT accusing you or anyone affiliated with SR of performing such. I was only providing my perspective.

I appologise if anything was misunderstood.

No need to apologize, Dallasrunner. That’s our policy, though, for everything: until we have a street date, we don’t announce tentative dates. We’ve broken that policy a few times and announced tentative dates, and it has always bitten us in the rear. Would it help to have “a street date is not yet known for this book” on all pages that refer to upcoming products? It might; I’ll talk to our operations manager about that.

In turn, apologies for being brusque with you earlier. I gotta remember to have morning coffee, then reply to blog comments.
