Okay, I suppose I'd tagged that as retrotech, despite its use of primitive technology.

We also haven't got the primitive Archer yet the ARC-1A, so lots of primitives to go I guess, hurry up Vol. 4.

There was a plethora of primitive-y variant names on the Reunification War RATs that haven't appeared yet. I concur bring on Vol 4!

Do you think or hope that we will see any new PDF's?  Like right before Gen-Con, like it has been for the past couple of years?

If anyone is going to the Q and A and or public forums at Gen-Con,  for Battletech and Catalyst Gamers Lab can we please get a transcript or a report on what was said.

Thanks

Its hard to say. 
Its been said all along that CGL has other projects their working on, such as Valiant Universe RPG.
Which i think its understandable, new venue, new angle get different people who aren't attracted to either our franchise or Shadow Run.   New people, new blood, hard cash is more important keep whole company going.   

Gencon is important launch date,  though if it said and done. I rather see our friends at CGL take their time and get everything as right as they can.

When its whatever they have is available is ready, we'll see it.  I hope it comes out before Gencon, but its been different kind of gaming year for us given how last year's record releases blew us away with title after title breaking out of the dam of projects.   I think we got spoiled from that!  :D

IIRC the Bellerophon we currently have art and stats for is a different model than the one in the RATs. I'm currently away from my books but I'll try to confirm ASAP.

Yeah, that's a "new" Retro-Tech unit, not a Primitive.

Well, Era Digest Age of War shows the Bellerophon with a date of 2500. The Bellerophon in XTRO: Prim 3 has a date of 2442. I'm guessing the one in the Era Digest is the "primitive" version of the prototype that is in the XTRO...but who knows. There's no model designation.

I think someone said they were doing a single seminar for all things Catalyst this year.

I'm sorry, I really can't say. I've got at least 3 products that are very close to release, but I'm on a plane in a week and all my time right now is focused on GenCon material prep.

I won't have thought of that, since I'm more person who think its a printed/published book in the physical form of short-stories from a online Fiction source.

Personally if our luck holds out, it will be Field Report 2765 Periphery, XTRO: Primitives vol IV and one of the two Historical Turning Points - Revival or Widowmaker.
