Greetings!

Sorry if this was posted before (I tried searching the site and the internet, but my commlink skills are kinda lame), but does anyone know what Shadowrun: Jet Set is about? Amazon says it will be available on February 29th, but that's about all the info I could get.

Thanks in advance!

Or maybe the opposite end of the spectrum to the shadows...the ultra-rich / wealthy / influential...???

I suspect, and just totally guessing, its a new adventure book.

We've had planes and we've the rich and famous in street legends....

But its a total guess...

Yeah, smells like a new adventure book... Too bad, I really wanted more supplements/sourcebooks.
At least we have Corporate Intrigue launching at the same day, that one sounds cool.

But still, not a bit of official information available anywhere... =[

Based on the following line in Corporate Intrigue i would assume it to be a sourcebook not an adventure, also assumed it to be one of those small pdf only releses, but it being listed in Amazon would suggest otherwise

What’s the point of hanging around the rich and powerful if you don’t get a taste for yourself?

Also Amazon just pulled those release dates out of their ass(as they often do), Catalyst doesn't do release dates.

They don't do release dates, and they don't deal with Amazon. Best ignore Amazon as a source for CGL news.

oh right, forgot that part.
I am however wondering where Amazon got their info concerning Jet Set, as there isn't even a retailer Sell-Sheet for it.

You said it yourself: "Amazon just pulled those release dates out of their ass"  *grin*

I expect some Amazon staffer or game store added it in preparation for the Marketplace sales.

Wondering more about their info that it will be a paperback, meaning an actual full source book as opposed to being a small pdf only like Gun Heaven and company.

Or someone at Amazon is a SR fan and bases it off the "screenshot" in Corporate Intrigue. ;)

Wow ragged, you ARE fast! =P

Yeah, sorry, just deleted that post... Looks like it was from Conspiracy Theories indeed, the site is wrong (from http://www.fantasywelt.de/index.php/cat/c857_Shadowrun-4-Ed-.html).

Back to zero then.
