To Net Enhancements for Roleplaying Shadowrun<NERPS@********.itribe.net>


Let's give this John the benfit of the doubt for a moment.
If indeed he did take everything from published materials,
then he has taken all kinds of unauthorized (read: FASA
didn't approve) materials from pubs like White Wolf and
others. Probably even KaGe. I don't know what kind of
relationship KaGe and FASA had, but I did get the impression
FASA didn't automatically approve everything. As an aside,
one advantage Shadowlands has is that Mike Mulvihill reads
and approves everything to be published. Don't know if KaGe
did that.

So everything in there was published. That is far from
meaning everything was approved, or is considered part of
the FASA SR universe. So here's a proposal.

Can some kind of indicator be added to those posts that are
not FASA canon? Like an asterisk or something? That way
people who want those other items included can see them,
those who prefer something closer to what FASA envisioned
can ignore it. This should make everyone happy.

I asked John this. I asked him to write, for any event, the source... I
think it could be a daunting task. That, however, should be the final and
total word on the subject :)

If anyone want to help....

Supposedly everything in Kage was approved by FASA (and
belongs to them).

actually, from what I heard, it was fairly successful for a while...

Unfortunately the company running Ka*Ge decided to take the money and run...
literally... People were sending them money for subscriptions and such for
months, and never got the mags... They just stopped coming, and no one got
refunds... and the company running teh mag disappeared... No one could
reach them to find out what happened...

At least, that's what i read in a gaming mag a while back...

Not quite, more like 2.5 years (somewhere around 10-12
issues). Than some family deaths occurred and than they just sort

Sounds suspicious...someone put together a team and set up a run...:)

You beter believe they did although ShadowLand has done a descent job of
taking over.

If you have to ask then it's probably classified.
Which means that I have to follow protocol.
But if you ask nicely I might forget that you asked.
Then again maybe not.
