So yeah... by around mid Novemebr to the ONE STORE IN ALL OF TORONTO that carries PBooks products if we're lucky.
'Kay... at least, YES, it IS being ink-put-to-paper now.

I am awed by how productive the last post is.

I for one am looking forward to my copy being shipped to me, because as easy as it would be to blame local distributors for my inability to get the product, I long ago accepted that my town (and some places) just do not get certain things. Thank god for the internet.

So Alex, 224 pages, that makes it ABOUT as thick as the South America Books and Underseas, right?

[jaymz]

DhAk - Dude, that was a bit uncalled for, not that i don't agree with you about the one store in Toronto thing but just sayin'

A/S - While not productive, this was a public post and not a murmur from Kevin, DhAk has every right to voice his.....displeasure, for a lack of better term, whether anyone likes it or not. Pointing it out and bringing attention to it is generally no more productive than the post that is being pointed out and being given attention to.

Alex - I am glad the book is finally going to print. I will get it, just not sure when. I've already got a wish list of some other game books I want and those are going to take precedent over NG1 (and 2 when it hits the shelves). I AM looking forward to my RT RPG T set so I'm crossing my fingers that all that is going along on time so far.

What teaser do you guys find the most interesting?

1. In-depth look at Northern Gun, its robots, stores, politics and operations.

2. 70+ NG weapons; old and new.

3. 27 NG giant combat and exploration robots. Described in detail.

4. Many new robot weapon systems and features, including alternative power supplies, anti-monster gear and experimental weapons.

5. Northern Gun freighter ships and hovertrains. Random Cargo tables too.

6. Notable cities and people of the Ishpeming Republic/Northern Gun.

7. NG O.C.C.s, police, specialists and NG Mercenary army.

8. The NG Mercenary army and police.

9. The NG Bounty Board, the largest collection of bounties and mercenary contracts anywhere on Rifts Earth.

10. Key locations, people and dangers around Northern Gun.

11. NG mercenary defenders, groups and pirates.

12. Northern Gun�s relationship with the CS and other nations.

I know my players (especially the psi-tech) will love all the new robots and equipment.

I'm a flavor GM so I will gobble all the world information up with glee. I'm very interested in #5 and #6!

I'm lucky all I have to do is tell my local comic/gaming shop to order it for me. They get the profit and I don't have to worry about delivery fees or someone stealing it out of my mail.

Very pleased NG1 is gone to press. I have pre-ordered it at Worlds Collide in Oshawa, for all the fans who live near the GTA east.

[Mech-Viper Prime]

Great to hear it finally as the printing part , just needs to be in stock and then I will order.

[Daeglan]

where do you think those hovertrains go?

[Warshield73]

Glad it's going to press, wonder when the insiders will get or PDFs?

Good question. As a GM have to say I always want world info and cities but the idea of alternate power supplies is something I have wanted for a while. I just hope they explain how they work and the costs for replenishing them.

So Alex, 224 pages, that makes it ABOUT as thick as the South America Books and Underseas, right?

224 is bigger then either of those. Only non core book I know that size is D-bees of NA.

[Morik]

where do you think those hovertrains go?

All roads lead to a mysterious Chi Town.

You go to World's Collide? That was my standard place of ordering when I lived in that area. Glad to know they are at least still ordering for Palladium when asked.....lord knows they don't usually carry any as stock. I still work in Bowmanville but don't get in to see Tim anymore sadly.

[flatline]

Sounds like there might be some interesting world information in there. I hope it's relatively internally consistent. It would be nice to see something that doesn't defy economic theory, for instance.

I've got mine ordered. Looking forward to it! Go Go Robo!

Aprill 2011 is what you want to look for.

All roads lead to a mysterious Chi Town.

I imagine a lot of the hover train runs are to the CS states. It is also likely that a fair amount of the traffic of hover trains gets carted by boat to the north shore of lake superior and from there they can run to CS iron heart, free quebec, lazlo.

Now that the tolkeen conflict has ended probably a fair amount of traffic heading down through wisconsin and then out west to bigger supply places. Given the deals with the CS very likely the Supply convoys via hover train also can transit through CS controlled areas with their permission to reach places like merc town.

One thing to also remember is the NG makes damn near everything from shoes to cloths to giant robot vehicles. So a lot of what gets shipped by these hover trains is likely not offensive at all to the CS much of it being general trade goods cloths/food/supplies general higher tech building materials and what not.

The CS and NG are trade Allies with overtures to being 'more'. But you're above post is pretty dead on. Alot of stuff does go by boat out of Escanaba and to the southern shores then the trains start up. They're too big to go over the water themselves.
