Arsenal Street Date - 3/18/08
Shadowrun

Catalyst is proud to announce a March 18th, 2008 street date for the Shadowrun, Fourth Edition book - Arsenal!

When corpsec is raining lead down on your position, a wardrobe malfunction will get you dead. To survive against gangs, syndicates, and megacorps, shadowrunners need the best gear they can make, buy, or steal.

Arsenal covers everything a runner team needs, from weapons and armor to advanced electronics and spy toys to the latest state-of-the-art drones. It also covers the intricacies of the black market and drug trade and provides advanced rules for combat and martial arts, mixing your own chemicals and explosives, and modifying your weapons and vehicles.

Shadowrun

It certainly seems that the Shadows have been slow to evolve in this top selling game line, but Catalyst Game Labs has put tremendous resources into making sure they evolve at a faster rate. Starting in January with Corporate Enclaves (CAT26201) we’ll be seeing more books for Shadowrun Fourth Edition than ever. The core Shadowrun, Fourth Edition (CAT26000) is currently at press in Thailand; we made the tough decision to send it overseas after determining that to print it domestically would require us to raise the price. All of the errata from previous printings was incorporated and together with Street Magic (available from FanPro LLC FPR26001), Augmentation (CAT26002) which covers cyberware, bioware and other personal enhancements, and the upcoming Arsenal (CAT 26003) with weaponry & vehicles from big to small, will form the core of any good ‘runner’s repertoire.

MSRP: $34.99
Stock #: 26000
Format: Hardcover, 352 pages

The Shadows Have Evolved.

The year is 2070. The world is not only Awakened–it’s wired. Cyber and bioware implants make your meat body better-than-flesh, while the wireless Matrix enhances your perceptions with hyper-real senses. Deals are made in steel and lead more often than gold or nuyen; success and failure live only a razor’s edge apart. Creatures of myth and legend walk the streets, while the arcane skills of spellslingers are in high demand. Above it all, monolithic megacorps bleed the world dry, sabotaging each other in covert cutthroat competition as they go to war over the bottom line.

The stories and games in Crimson Skies take place in an alternate history version of the United States, where the nation crumbled into many hostile nation-states following the effects of the Great War, Prohibition, and the Great Depression. With the road and railway system destroyed, commerce took to the skies. Great cargo zeppelins escorted by fighter squadrons are the targets of many ruthless air pirates and enemy countries

FASA board game
After the Corsairs! project was shelved, Weisman rallied a group of the designers at FASA and on evenings and weekends they redesigned Crimson Skies as a fast-playing combat board game, with a focus on streamlined rules to maximize players' enjoyment. Players were encouraged to develop not only a powerful aircraft, but also a colorful pilot.

The base game came with card stock, assemble-yourself airplanes included, but later metal miniature planes were offered separately. While the focus was on fantasy over fact, many of the planes in Crimson Skies were modeled after real experimental aircraft of the era.

The complex universe of Crimson Skies earned many devoted fans, as dozens of different weapons, planes, nations, air forces, bands of pirates, and characters were all given detailed pasts, and several additional supplemental campaigns were published.

In 1999, Crimson Skies won the Origins Awards for Best Science Fiction or Fantasy Board Game of 1998 and Best Graphic Presentation of a Board Game of 1998.

По моему мнению ,для книг не по Battletech должен существовать другой сайт. В другом случае можно добавить раздел отправляющий на тот сайт,ссылка на который находится на главной странице, с указанием "НЕ battletech" P.S. Кто хочет ,пусть заходит туда.

в случае создания раздела готов ли ты лично заливать все имеющееся?
Сколько всего этого у тебя имеющегося? в метрах и гигах?
Достаточно ли, чтобы имело смысл напрягаться, или наоборот, не настолько ли много, что для выкачки нужен скорее торрент?

Вот вам пожалуйста, походу все, что есть. Если кому нужен контакт хозяина этого добра стучите. Проживает под мск.
