Seriously, this is the 2nd book in a row to hit the streets without any form of announcement about the date... someone needs a kick i the pants to get back to work.

It does seems like simple enough PR, indeed. More generally, there is lack of update on the official website about releasing product. You can find stuff, generally on tumblr if you dig a bit, this should be fixed. It's not to much to ask (as customer) to be able to google "shadowrun", go to the official website, and get all the relevant information.

Seems that this has hit the streets (at least the online ones):

CoolStuffInc

Miniature Market

Cool,so that means it should be in my local store in about a month or so if I'm lucky.

Just did a quick search at Lion Rampant Imports (one of the main Canadian distributors)...appears that it (along with the LE version) is now available.

I could buy it in a shop in Berlin (Germany, Europe) last week - and this shop (while quite good) is not famous for being the most "on time" on their delivery, so honestly you should find it in Canada !

I walked into my FLGS I Ottawa on March 12 and they had the book on display.  I don't know how long they'd had it, but it has certainly been in some stores on this side of the border for a good while.

It feels like all PR money and effort is used on Battletech or game-streaming

Talk to the owner of my FLGS and it looks like I might be getting a copy in on Friday but I still not holding my breath

A van with a pallet and portable stove in the back so you don't need to pay rent?  ;D

Agreed. This looks like a 'training wheels' edition, that you can use to introduce someone to the setting, and then shift over to something like 5E or 4E. Like how D&D 5E is best used as training wheels for D&D 3.X.

So would buying a vehicle that has a built in lifestyle be the same as permanently buying that lifestyle?

I'd call it a street lifestyle which is free. Anything you want (breakfast, lunch, dinner, shower) has to be paid for.  The point of lifestyle is so that we don't have to count dollars spent on regular meals, and roleplay paying for electricity, water, sewer, etc.  Lifestyle isn't just rent, but also represents money you spend on clothes, food, rolls of duct tape at the store etc.

When you park it to go to sleep, you have to worry about security, cops writing citations for camping in a non designated area (people do this now and its called stealth camping).
