Bah! Jewel of Yavin slipped!

By Desslok, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Phooey - my hopes of Jewel of Yavin and Dangerous Covenants shipping at the same time have been dashed. The Upcoming Products list now shows March for Jewel and the nebulous February 2014 for Covenants.

Of course we're rapidly running out of February here, and it's still on the boat - perhaps they'll both slip.

There was no way they could have been on the same boat. DC has been on a boat for weeks before JoY. That and they seem to be having a strict 1 Star Wars book per month. Sigh, and I was hoping that AoR and EotE would have products released during the same month.

I've been watching like a hawk. JoY was a couple few days ago I think. The have just left DCs at Feb generically. I would expect they will have to have some kind of update on that this week.

Hopefully.

I swear some of us are obsessive update clickers.

I prefer informed consumer as a label myself..............

DCs just updated for those interested. It's now shipping and per their page should be available for purchase in 7-10 days.

I'm okay with this....for now.

i'm still catching up on the other books!

... and poor Lando breathes a sigh of relief, now that his date with the Murder Hobo duo of Red and Reya is pushed back a month...

It's good for him if he plays his cards right, but if he sells them out, they'll be finding pieces of Mr Smooth in a dozen sectors...

You need to patent that advertising gimmick RIGHT NOW. :D

Jokes aside, I love to see original illustrations of people's characters. Did someone on SWAG do that for you?

Was there a reason people were expecting JoY to be in stores by February? FFG hasn't given any indication (that I've seen) that they have any interest in doing more than releasing one supplement/product every month. I was expecting a March release from the time they announced that JoY is expected to arrive in Q1.

Keep in mind that they may be incentivized to only release one book a month. More than that, and I suspect that some people will be forced to choose one or the other due to financial constraints/supplement fatigue.

Well, they were shown as "On the boat" at the same time, so I was holding out hope we'd get a two-fer.

It's not so much that it has slipped, as it has been made more specific. March is still Q1.

Is this picture allowed to be here?... I don't think so. Isn't there something saying you can't have trashy content like this in these forums?

If it is allowed, then I want me some Sy Snootles. Oh yeah, DeepSnoot.

Inside the mind of a Venthrac...

Hmm... okay, a post about release dates on the new EotE books. Cool, maybe I'll learn something. Let's just scroll down a bit and-

HEY-O!

Maelora wins at life.

I'll take it down if anyone finds it offensive.

But it's kind of censored, it's not showing anything NSFW.

Just meant to be a bit of fun; the two most violent characters in the group doing a silly 'Slave Leia' cosplay....

If you find that offensive and/or trashy I suggest never to go through my browser history...

...or the internet in general.

Please don't misunderstand- I'm as impatient to get new EotE/AoR/FaD books as the next guy.

In the future, though, there's usually a date in the corner of their product listing on the "Upcoming" page that will tell you when that particular product's status last changed. For JoY, it was February 13th. Before Dangerous Covenants was updated yesterday, it was showing as "on the boat" since December. Knowing when the status actually changed makes it a tiny bit easier to try to predict the general timeframe for when a book is going to arrive. Hopefully JoY is on a fast boat, but I still don't expect it before mid-March.

Edit: Though there's a decent chance that the Age of Rebellion Beginner Game and Jewel of Yavin are on the same boat, since they both shipped on the same day. This is, of course, assuming that they were printed at the same printer.

I wonder if they'll announce something shortly for April? Seems like we've got JoY for Mar. I would think the AoR Beginner's Game for May and AoR CRB for June, so really that leaves only April if they stick with the one supp a month pattern.

AoR and EotE might be on different release schedules. So we might have months where we get one of each.

I hope so. I love this game and the unclear release schedule is frustrating.

The biggest frustration I have is that Amazon never gets their products until after the release date. I know everyone suggests going to the FLGS, but I'm an american outside the US, so by the time a book gets here it's anywhere from 150% to 200% of US retail.

Some amazon affiliates get the books in for ordering earlier, but they rarely offer free shipping.

I'd be surprised if April's release wasn't the Age of Rebellion Beginner Box, with Age of Rebellion itself being the May release; after all May 2013 was when EotE was initially slated to be released, as part of their Star Wars Weekend to coincide with "May the Fourth Be With You."

August is bound to be the Force & Destiny Beta, leaving June and July with question marks.

I'll be very interested in the release date for F&D beta. That will give a good indication for the release of the full blown version.
