Coda/Decipher Print Schedule?

[Capt. Chris]

How is the printing for the Books going? The Narrator's screen is now almost 3 weeks late from its original release projection and both the limited Edition and Starfleet Operations are also due out this month. With only 11 days left in the month are they all going to make it out this month?
I am not trying to complain (from what is posted on Decipher site for the screen and the quality job on the PG and NG) for I really like what they have done. It is just that I am getting ready to start a game and looking to have as much stuff as possible when it starts.
That is why I am asking, if there has been a revised publishing schedule so I can plan better to get the books when they come out and even adjust my campaign some until certain books which will help several adventure ideas I have come out.

Thanks

The recent changeover in several staff members left a few projects "in the air," so to speak.

To the best of my knowledge, the Narrator's Screen should be at press. I recently signed off the corrections to the Ops Manual, which means it will go to press as well.

My understanding after talking with Owen at Gen Con is that, sans the LE situation, the products should be "back on schedule" now.

For those curious about the NS, please remember that printing a screen on cardstock, getting it treated and folded, printing the inserts and assembling the entire product and shrink-wrapping it takes time. Then it ships to distributors, then to the retailers, etc. It shouldn't be long now at all.

It wouldn't be so bad if and when setbacks like these happens that someone at Decipher would inform the buyers that there are these said setbacks, you wouldn't need to go into details, unless you really, really wanted to.

So far for the short time I've been on this forum you folks at Decipher have been pretty good at giving us the lowdown and I appreciate that.

As a big Champions fan and all the BS that Hero Games has been through with delays, buyouts, etc. Its good to have at least some feedback from the PTBs.

Just don't get as bad a rap as FASA when they first put out Battletech and Shadowrun, they were often 6-8 months behind schedule most of the time, or at least that's how it seemed.
