New and Upcoming Releases, Vol. X: All Systems Nominal...ish

[Fat Guy]

I hope they didn't plug in the Roomba today....

Even if they did, he's safe. Roombas pick up dust like I pick up women the last few years.   :-[

[SCC]

yes, sorry.

I think you might have gotten that left  :P

[ANS Kamas P81]

...holy crap, Paul, Intentions is amazing!

reminded me of the first three Dune books, constructing a religion around a figure and the pitfalls and potentials that it creates - the opening waves of Paul's Jihad had a higher headcount than the Battletech one, of course.Makes me wonder if the Pax Leto II is going to be equally similar in exploration of themes and deconstructing the IlClan like God Emperor did.

Hey if you're borrowing ideas for space epics, borrow big and borrow good!

[Adrian Gideon]

yes, sorry.

Clarifying: we expect to have Second Succession War, BattleMech Manual and Technical Readout: Succession Wars available at GenCon.

[ANS Kamas P81]

Technical Readout: Succession Wars available at GenCon.

PDF as well?

[Adrian Gideon]

I'll prep the PDF for sale over the weekend, can't say when it will go up in the store.

[pheonixstorm]

Either way, nice. Will the BattleMech Manual PDF be up around time for GenCon?

[CungrVanck]

those are the only new books for GenCon.

Thanks for the info sir!  I am still a maybe for going to GenCon this year so wanted to know if I would miss anything.

It's good to see new products rolling out to help ease new players into Battletech.

[pheonixstorm]

would be better if they had the new intro box and/or starter box ready to show off at GenCon.

If you don't mind me asking, why do you like it? I ask because people like so many different things about battletech, I like to read other viewpoints especially when it is two different viewpoints but both liking it.

[00Dawg]

There was a cover preview (CM: Davion IIRC) that had the Rifleman

Can someone remind me where that is?  I did a forum search and checked CGL's Tumbler, but danged if I can't find it...

[pheonixstorm]

Last years GenCon thread??

It was the BattleMech Manual cover
The artist even posted the image on his site, but he pulled it out later

*applause*

Great work Adrian!  Two brand new books and one compilation book done for Gencon is a major achievement.  Bravo sir!  May they all sell out by Saturday evening!

[I am Belch II]

Nice job. Good things to wait for in Gencon.

As said; very pleased with the PDF of 2SW. I will be buying the dead tree from my FLGS as well. I kinda....sorta...already made my own Battlemech manual...sorry...

And TRO: SW I will be buying at least as a PDF as well.

[Lorcan Nagle]

The Print edition of TRO: SW is a con exclusive, right? 

[Adrian Gideon]

No.

[Liam's Ghost]

I'm looking forward to owning both this TRO and the Battlemech manual in both electronic and print formats.

[Empyrus]

Hope TRO:SW hits stores here at the same time as the BMM. Would be nice combo to buy at once.

EDIT The smiley has no point but i like it. It is just so random and stupid.

If I ever get into a position where I'm introducing new people to the game, that combo plus some plastic mech packs is basically going to be my first suggestion.

[ActionButler]

Oh absolutely.  We still need a new Intro Box for the game, something with the most basic of basic rules, a map sheet, some record sheets, some dice, and some cardstock counters. 

I'll take what intro products we can get, though.  The BMM and the Succession Wars TRO sound like great books for introducing people to what has become a very rules-dense game.

Indeed. Though cardboard 'Mech counters might be an option. At least for expanding games at first cheaply. Should they make such.

[pheonixstorm]

I hope that $20 intro/starter box includes the cardboard cutouts as well as the 2 plastic minis as well as a paper map. Would make for the perfect first time box.

Any word on if the new box sets might make it into production/shipping by or before years end Adrian? Even a maybe will work as an answer :o

[Adrian Gideon]

"Maybe."

And a balloon WarShip (inflatable to mech scale).

oh fun, BattleTech pool toys! [blank]

There are printout counters of the 24 introductory box mechs that can be downloaded off the main site.
