Is there such a thing? The one on Catalyst's website isn't very reliable. I'm only saying what is obvious. I mean does Alliance or another distributor have a better idea? If so is there a link to that list? I found something on a German forum but that wasn't official enough for me.

Catalyst normally refuses to provide precise release dates until they have the actual physical product in their warehouses, ready to distribute.

Even Alliance does not have actual dates. Most Shadowrun items are currently using a placeholder date the means 'we are taking pre-orders but have no idea when it will ship'

So basically we're waiting for them to pop up on Drivethru.

A number of additional products are now listed in some online stores...though (as noted above), one needs to ignore the release dates.

November: 30 Nights, GM Screen
October: Cutting Black, Rogues Gallery, Dice & Tokens, Miniatures

Nothing “new” per se, but confirmation of what’s been solicited for this quarter.

30 Nights and Cutting Black sounds great. Consider my curiosity sufficiently piqued. Rogues Gallery is probably not for me, but glad to see you guys finally making some dice.

Also, miniatures? That's a new market, no? I don't think I've ever even considered playing Shadowrun with minis. Is this a trend in other RPGs these days? I have played a fair bit of Warhammer in my day, but that's a whole different ballgame.

I believe the mini set reflects the new iconic characters for 6e...available for sale on the CGL store. I’ve always enjoyed using minis...lots of options out there.

I love minis...SR had them way back in the day (Ral Partha, IIRC), but nothing official for many years now. Now that CGL is getting more confident with miniature (see recent KS), happy to see them starting to support SR. There will likely be a KS in the New Year...board game developed by Lynnvader. Of course, they still need to complete Sprawl Ops.

Ironwind still has plenty of old stock, though I still need to paint mine.

30 Nights will be a wicked thing, I am incredibly bummed I can't order the dice and tokens at my FLGS (they're cheaper than the Shadowrun dice I bought before, and I like the pink poker chips), Rogue Gallery is not for me because I already have all those cards, even if it's without stats and info.

So whatever happened to the “Free Seattle” pdf adventure that Hardy mentioned at the Gencon talk?  Expected to be out last month, never mentioned before or since?

From the images I saw, they are the characters from the 5th edition starter adventure.

And you can fit five of them in your hand. Bring Sledge the ork street samurai, Coydog the elf shaman, Gentry the human decker, Hardpoint the dwarf rigger, and Blanco, the troll weapons specialist to your game table and let them unleash chaos!

I agree that they should expand the range of minis for people that like actual TTG RPGs. The ranges on weapons would need to be reworked to scale properly though.
