Visions of Rebirth now on Amazon kindle and PoD

So, are kickstarter backers going to get the pdf/epub?

[Empyrus]

We should be. Just no news whatsoever about that.

EDIT Wait, how and where we got the first part of the trilogy?
EDIT Ah, direct email link to download from CrowdOx. Wonder how long that link will live...

[Sartris]

Answering that would require I knew the answer

I’m only a poor corrupt official

I got a crowdox email from battletech-clan-invasion@support.crowdox.com that had the epub/pdf for the first book.

Yeah i just figured that out.
Went over my Catalyst and Drivethru libraries wondering about it  ::)
Then i realized maybe i should search my email...

Any word on Touring the Stars: Rocky and Spotlight On: Hellion Keshik?

TTS Rocky is ready to go, Hellion Keshik is close.

[VensersRevenge]

How about Visions of Rebirth for Kickstarter backers?

I don't have any information on that, nor control over that process, sorry.

Are we getting close on Tamar Rising?

[Cubby]

Are we getting close on Tamar Rising?

On my list for this week is trying to pin down an announce-able street date for that.

Last I checked, it was still on the water and our fulfillment center had not received it into stock yet. We may have a projected street date based on shipping transit times, etc., but I'm loathe to announce those. I'd rather wait until they have it on hand and we're just crossing I's and dotting T's. It may mean that we don't announce a street date until it's only a week away, but better that than to give you a date that could shift for any of a dozen reasons.

Is it safe to say we won't be able to order this Friday?

If as of right now it's still on a boat, I'd say that's a pretty good bet.

Is this where someone posts the "your shipment is here" meme with a bay full of tanker ships?

Juuuust in case you are doing any sort of market research.   A real pre-order would be FANTASTIC, I would much rather purchase something when I am aware of it, and have spare cash handy.   I have no problem waiting months for physical product to show, especially if I get the PDF on street day....

[rebs]

I just want the PDF.  I'm sure the physical books are beautiful to hold, but I require the convenience of electronic products.  Maybe one day when I'm not living the transient life.

We're well aware of the desire for pre-orders, and for PDFs prior to physical product release. My understanding is that there are technological issues related to fulfillment that affect both, and I'm in a position to personally fix neither.

Rimshot!

TTS Rocky is ready to go, Hellion Keshik is close.

So like next week? I have been hearing the for like a month or 2.

So like next week? I have been hearing the for like a month or 2.

This book has been punted more than a Detroit Lions football lately.

[rebs]

The smaller releases are there to feed us something when the Main Course is not ready to be served.

Sounds like maybe Rocky next week, and maybe Hellion Keshik the week after.

I could be all wrong, though.  I would like to be wrong on this, actually.

[Doc Swift]

If anyone is to be blamed for the delay in Hellion Keshik, it is I.

[rebs]

If you perfect a small masterpiece, all is easily forgiven.

[Doc Swift]

I just want anyone seeking to vent their spleen for the delay to aim it in the right direction.

[Hotham]

Has anybody noticed that BLP has released a short review of Tamar Rising on his WordPress? I'm hoping this means the sourcebook is close to release.

His review also notes he picked up a copy at Gencon.

[KuzeFanAcct]

Tamar Rising is going to have the first round of IlClan-era record sheets, right?

[Hotham]

His review also notes he picked up a copy at Gencon.

I know. It's a long shot, but I was hoping that if one of the inside guys were to give a review, they would do it a week or two in advance of the release. For all I know, Tamar Rising could be a December release.

[Scotty]

Speculation based on that is pointless, Cubby has specifically stated on multiple times that the goal is to avoid the surprise release dates that previously plagued BattleTech.  As soon as he knows when it's coming out, you'll know.
