Will there be a GM screen available at GenCon?
What are the prices for the items? Specifically,  the core rulebook and NPC deck.

Thanks!
GM screen is scheduled for end of September and has a MSRP of US 29.99
Core rule book US49.99
NPC deck US19.99
Tokens and dice US19.99
Miniatures US19.99

Are we sure the cure rulebook is $49.99? It is listed for $60 on Amazon currently.

That was the MSRP given to me by my FLGS two months ago when I order it.

Amazon lies. Specifically, it is not a partner of Catalyst so it tosses things up there without getting full info from CGL. I'm guessing they based it on the SR5 price.

[FastJack]

Actually, most of the sellers on Amazon are third-party game shops that overprice the books, tack on $15 for Shipping, and say it will arrive between August 10th and October 1st.

Always, always, ALWAYS, look at the seller on Amazon. It may say "By Catalyst Game Labs", but that's not the seller. See the attached. The part circled in red is the Publisher, the highlighted part is the Seller.

If you click on the part highlighted in the first attachment, you'll see the list on the second attachment that shows all the sellers and how they are offering it.

Thank you all so much!

So...When should we be looking for the PDF to go up on DriveThru? Sometime today(thursday, the first day of the Con)?

[PiXeL01]

Probably Monday at the earliest.

Might also be weeks from now...

I don't think there's been any official announcement beyond "physical product at GenCon." Not even for physical product being orderable online. Which is a little frustrating, honestly, as I'd like to get my hands on the PDF. Please correct me if i'm wrong and I've missed some comms.

I'm leaning towards "if the PDF was definitely going to be available this week, Catalyst would probably have said so, and therefore it probably won't be." I don't know what holdups there could be to publishing the PDF once the physical version is available, as it feels like you just export the final proof to PDF and put it on the store; but I don't have a lot of insight into the publishing process in general so maybe there's more complexity to it than I can see...?

Remember, all I'm saying is what has happened in the past, and I have no inside knowledge on these releases.

BUT, I've noticed that they frequently will release the pdfs during GenCon without announcement. Many of the times I've been at GenCon, I've seen the new books for BattleTech and Shadowrun on the shelves at the con, then got back to my room and found the PDFs on DriveThru.

I don't want to get hopes up, but if I'm sitting at home and bouncing in my chair, refreshing DriveThru and Catalyst Store every five minutes, I'd like to think I'm not alone.

I can confirm you're definitely not alone, FJ!

Ditto! I'll be checking for PDF drops this weekend, as I couldn't make the convention this year.

Not on DriveThruRPG yet but that doesn't mean that it won't be.  If you see a PDF available please start a new thread with an appropriate title.
