A lot.  Let's leave it at that (I don't like to talk about it  ).  Combined with  Ghosts, things are...really out of wack.

Can you do an update on what is still pending with guesses as to the slots.
Like I believe one more item in the EtoE line. a couple more in the Age line, and FoD line.

Yes. sweet dreams

Tomorrow marks a somber day: the first day that a book has gone to over 100 days On the Boat since Ghosts of Dathomir hit its 100 days on 06/18/2017.  In fact, this will be only the second (and third) book to go over 100 days on that d*** boat!

[Desslok 13,267]

Booo! The only things that should last 100+ days are Beatles songs at the number one spot in the top 40 and Hulk Hogan World Heavyweight Championship title reigns.

Fixed that for you. Silly penguin. 

[Desslok 13,267]

I am having a hard time forming a rebuttal argument, so I shall concede the point.

[Absol197 5,185]

Okay!  So, as promised, here is the update on "missing" product codes.

SWE15: This is pretty much guaranteed to be a final Region book for Edge.  What it is, we don't know, but common guesses are a general Shadowports book, or the region that Tattooine occupies (I forget the name).

SWE17, 18, and 19:  These slots are entirely a mystery.  They're after No Disintegrations, and before the first of the specialization decks, so the normal pattern of books can't help us predict what is intended to go in them.  Obviously it's not the Era books, because those are using the SWR code.  At this point, your guesses are as good as mine!

SWA52:  The one non-career book between Fully Operational and Cyphers and Masks.  My best guess, again, is another Region book?  Maybe Imperial Space?  Possibly the Corporate Sector?

SWF04:  This one is a complete mystery, as well!  It occupies the same place as the dice do in the SWE line, and that the Recruit specialization deck would in the SWA line, but there's no reason for a different set of dice just for Force and Destiny, and there's no Core Universal specialization anyway, so... not sure.

SWF51:  Like SWA52, this is a mystery book between the final two career books in the F&D line.  As before, my best guess is another Region book.  Maybe...Force Traditions?  Not sure.  Oh!  Maybe the Unknown Regions, or Wild Space?

 

And that's it so far!  We're really closing in, aren't we?

As usual you rock da casbar. 

The Arkanis sector has tatooine. It would be where we would have sand people, jawas, gamorians. If i were to guess...

Bastions of the Empire would make a good region book for the Age line. And corperate sector makes sense for the third region book. 

Now the force and destiny region books are harder as themes go.

 

Maybe the mystery age book is the third adventure?

And mystery FoD book third adventure?

Oh, also!  Starting next week, we're once again in New Book Announcement territory!

While it probably won't be next week, I wouldn't be surprised if we got one the week after that...

I wish were in product preview territory for Unlimited Power still. We seem to get regular details on Genesys supplements.

I find your optimism.... disturbing.

Same day as Fully Operational is announced as being in stores, the specialisation decks are announced as being available.

https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2018/3/29/tune-up/


Looking back, I see it was 3 weeks or so after the release of No Disintegrations that the specialisation decks came out.

I'm (wildly) speculating that the delay between DoR and Fully Operational might, in part, be because of FFG synchronising the release of the decks, which i'm sure i've read are printed by themselves rather than offshored (?). That could also then link into the delays for the other outstanding books.

As i said though, wild speculation.

Wow, when one goes to look at the upcoming page to just look at new rpg material, it paints a pretty grim picture!

In this thread, I’ve mentioned a few times that my comic store’s manager told me to go ahead and get new sourcebooks where I can, given the new minimum order requirements.

I stopped in to pick up my comics Sunday and felt really guilty. The manager was all excited...”Hey, I got something for you!” He handed me Dawn of Rebellion. I felt bad. “I have it already.” Made sure he knew I have FO, too. 

[salamar_dree 247]

Well. To be honest, he did tell you to get your sourcebooks elsewhere...

[Nytwyng 3,997]

Yeah, and he was cool about it. Doesn’t mean I didn’t feel bad that he put in the effort for nothing, though.

[salamar_dree 247]

That's understandable.

[salamar_dree 247]

@Absol197 So, Realms of Terrinoth is shipping.

How does that affect your predictions for Cyphers & Masks and Unlimited Power?

[Absol197 5,185]

It doesn't, really.  I'm still hoping that CaM will start shipping next week for a release at the end of April.

You are showing your age Desslok. You must be almost as old as me!

[Daeglan 4,411]

So im at gamernation con. I have seen Realms of Terrinoth...and i learned some stuff about the delay. 

Ghosts of Dathomir was not sellable when they got it. Printer issues.

Did you get an explanation of what is going on with the current crop - no articles etc etc?

[Daeglan 4,411]

Not as yet.

So i did learn some things. Once it goes to the printer the dev guys are not in the loop. But he did say the upcoming page is not very accurate. For example the people who update the update page might here the news late. So it is quite possible that if several books went on the boat at the same time.might not have done so.
