Title: [SR5] Core Rulebook "Master Index Edition"
Post by: AJCarrington on <09-02-16/0630:05>
I've mentioned before that a new release of the core rulebook with a new index (including the 6 core supplements) has been in the works. Well, looks like it will hitting stores soon and some pre-release copies will be in the CGL booth at PAX West this weekend. From Tumblr (http://catalystgamelabs.tumblr.com/post/149827132351/catalyst-game-labs-at-pax-west):

Beyond demos you can check out the latest and greatest books! And for those with an eagle eye, you might have spotted the Master Index Edition of SR5 in the photo above! This latest reprint is just now coming available. We’re pre-releasing the print book at Pax West. Then, once the book has become available to all retailers (in the next couple of weeks), the PDF will be made available for free to anyone that previously purchased SR5!

Any chance of just the new index being available separate from the core reprint?

I have asked the question, but don't have any to report yet. The core rulebook PDF will be updated to include the new index, but I'm not sure if it will be released as a separate document. I can't imagine why it wouldn't be, but can confirm either way.

How will the pdf be made available to anyone that purchased SR5?  I purchased my physical copy (1st printing) the month after it was released, and I purchased it from a FLGS, which I no longer have the receipt for...

I assume he meant PDF will be updated, for those who purchased it at a site like Drive Thru etc...
Title: Re: [SR5] Core Rulebook "Master Index Edition"
Post by: AJCarrington on <09-14-16/1238:16>
The updated PDF should be out later this month. ;D

Just got a notice on DriveThru that the updated version was available.  However, when I downloaded the update, it seems the index is limited to the core rulebook only; I thought page cites for supplements were to be included in the index as well?  Also, going to "My Library" for the rulebook shows two instances of "CAT27000_Shadowrun_5.pdf", and they both appear to be the same document.  Is there some sort of glitch?

In any event, I would suggest that the filenames include some sort of date, so we can tell which particular version we're downloading.

Battlecorps doesn't send out updated links for pdf's.  Is there any option to get new index without buying new core PDF?

So, I am on my third download of an "updated" version of the Core Rulebook from DTRPG in 3 days, the most recent one even labeled "Master Index Edition" and, unless it is in invisible ink or cleverly hidden somewhere in the book, I still have not seen anything resembling a Master Index. It does get frustrating to waste time downloading an "updated product" thinking you get something updated and it isn't. Anybody have any idea what's going on?

CGL SOP is what's going on...

AJ, any word from TPTB on a PDF download of just the Master Index for those who bought dead trees?

Just so you know, I just downloaded the PDF from DriveThruRPG and it now includes the master index. My version of the file is dated "2016-10-05 16:50:53".

Thanks for the heads up I hadn't had time to check today. Looks pretty good. I expect it to be pretty useful!

I expect so, but have pinged Jason on that to confirm.

Is this still available in hardcover, and where can I find it?

I have the PDF but I don't think the dead wood version has come off the printing press yet.

They had physical copies at PAX West, but that may have been a small early release batch. But still, it probably means that it is at least available for local stores to order from distributors, maybe?

Is there a way to know if you're ordering the MIE; a different CAT number from the previous printing, maybe? Would hate have it ordered and it arrive and end up being an older printing.

If you place a new order for it, you're not likely to get a pre-MIE copy. Every place online was sold out of the previous one (if you don't count the ridiculously priced ones on places like Amazon).

Has there been any thought on Catalyst putting forward a Print On Demand model on Drivethrurpg.com for all SR products?

Nothing that I've heard in regards to POD. In fairness, the majority of their products are released in both physical and digital formats.

General query - has anyone who purchased the PDF from CGL received an email indicating the new version is available to download? I haven't (as of yet), but not sure if this is unique to me, or more widespread.

Mine has an Oct 5th version.

Thanks Ragnarok...I think something was a little screwy with my account.

Yeah me too.
I preordered Bundle H: Shadowrun: Fifth Edition LE + Deluxe LE + PDF. I received my order but on Battleshop, it is still said that my order is "Pending". I have no option to update my pdf version by the way :(
Title: Re: [SR5] Core Rulebook "Master Index Edition"
Post by: AJCarrington on <10-26-16/0807:08>
KalaG - can you send me (via PM) the date: date, order #, email address, name?

I fire them along to see if we can't get your downloads reset.

I've mentioned this before, battleshop does not send links for updated PDF's.  I'd really like a copy of master index, even be willing to pay something for it.  But I do not want to pay another $20 for a new core PDF.  Will there be anything like this made available?
Title: Re: [SR5] Core Rulebook "Master Index Edition"
Post by: Patrick Goodman on <11-12-16/0005:28>
Weird. People have told me that they've received notices from BattleShop about the updated Street Grimoire PDF. Have you logged into your account there and checked your library? (I don't use BattleShop very much, so I don't know anything, really, about its inner workings.)
Title: Re: [SR5] Core Rulebook "Master Index Edition"
Post by: AJCarrington on <11-12-16/0752:55>
The BattleShop system does have issues...I've had to get a number of my orders reset to get the updated PDFs (just sent a note off re the SG).

@PrimeMover - can you send me the order # via PM and I'll see what we can do to get the download counts reset.

So I jumped on the Catalyst sale and bought SR:MIE and 2 fictions.

I got the 2 fictions (although only one had pdf version) but the MIE doesn't have an option to download.  My order says partially fulfilled.

What exactly is the trick to getting the file I actually want the most?

I've sent 2 emails but I have had no luck with a response.

thanks,
Sol

Had couple emails go back and forth and still nothing, regarding fresh pdf link.  Be happy to pay few bucks for copy of Master Index.

@Prime Mover - I'm in the same boat...my links haven't been reset yet either. Sending you a PM.

Big THANKS AJ.

Battleshop kicks you to new site when log into it now, none of purchases from before site change are showing up.

Post by: AJCarrington on <01-18-17/0940:37>
When you register for the new site (assuming you use the same email address as you did on BattleShop), your order history *should* pull over.
