Core rulebook question

[THEMONSTER]

Will we ever see printed rulebooks again or are rules now a digital only product?

[Adrian Gideon]

The BattleMech Manual was just released in print.

[THEMONSTER]

If that's the case why can't my FLGS get it? Or are you referring to the one that you can only get at gencon? Also what about the full rules will those ever be back in print or are they being replaced?

[Adrian Gideon]

If that's the case why can't my FLGS get it?

it was just released. Doesn't have a street date yet.

Or are you referring to the one that you can only get it gencon?

we had copies express shipped to GenCon.

Also what about the full rules will those ever be back in print or are they being replaced?

I don't have an answer for you at this time.

[THEMONSTER]

I don't understand. How can something be considered released if it has not reached its treat date, let alone does not even have a street date?

[Adrian Gideon]

The book has been physically produced.
It's on it's way to the warehouse.
Then it will be given a street date.
From there it will be available to your FLGS, if they order it it should be available by the street date.
