Beyond the Rim - new SW:EotE adventure

Beyond the Rim is the first full-length adventure for the Star Wars®: Edge of the Empire™ Roleplaying Game. When you overhear the rumors of a long-lost, Separatist treasure ship, the Sa Nalaor, you and your companions can take your shot at the adventure of a lifetime!


Written by veteran Star Wars adventure writer Sterling Hershey, Beyond the Rim leads characters from the corridors of the seedy hub-and-spoke space station known as the Wheel all the way to the very edge of Wild Space. There, you and your companions will explore distant planets, encounter fearsome jungle predators, and delve into mysteries that have remained unsolved for decades. Along the way, if you’re careful–and a little lucky–you’ll even find fame and fortune, as well as an opportunity to pay back old debts.

So apparently this is old news. Anyone know when the adventure is due? I can't find that info on FFG's site.

The only info I have seen is 3rd quarter this year, so hopefully by September.

Even more hopefully by Gen Con.

Even more hopefully by Gen Con.

That would be fantastic, but if it was going to be there I would have thought they would have mentioned that by now. Hope I am wrong.

Morrus, the FFG site has an "upcoming releases" page you can filter by a few not-always-useful criteria:
http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_upcoming.asp

It is currently listed as Q3, 2013.

Q4, 2013 sees the release of Into the Unknown - an "Explorer's Handbook" for the rpg.

Cheers!

I grabbed a copy of this at GenCon before it sold out. I haven't read it in-depth (yet), but overall it looks to be a pretty solid Star Wars adventure. It follows the films in that the PCs find themselves traveling to three separate locations as part of the overall story arc. There's not a whole lot in the way of new crunch, though there are a couple of new monsters and a transport (one not really suited for a beginning group of PCs however).

I do plan on doing a review on it for the GSA, likely within the next week or two. Don't expect any major plot spoilers though.

For those interested, the adventure has now made its way to game store shelves.

The review I did can be found here: http://gsa.thegamernation.org/2013/09/02/rpg-review-beyond-the-rim-an-edge-of-the-empire-adventure/

It was out 9th Sept. My usual game provider IGUK sold out soon after publishing it in there new releases at the weekend. Amazon.co.uk are saying they have it for sale but 10 to 13 days until dispatch (which is the same as not having it in stock really).
