Mailing List Logs for ShadowRN

From: Unknown sender
Subject: None
Date: Unknown time and date
I bought four of them (Shadis) for friends in the office. Stupidly,
however
I only checked one to make sure the card was there. Of course, when I
got back, two out of four did not have the card. It didn't seem to have
been removed (the card baggie is glued in place and there was no
indication
of the baggie being "torn" out) it just wasn't there. Sigh. I like
Shadis,
but I sure don't need four copies.

Ok, here's what I got back on the Street Scum rulings and the Foxy
Roxy issue. This comes from Skuzzy himself. :o)

~~~~~~~~~~

OK, here's the scoop.

"Street scum" aren't restricted by what type of gear that they can
take. I know this doesn't really make sense with some things (ie;
cyberware, spells, etc.) but none the less that's how they work.

If "Foxy Roxy" is present on a Shadowrun with another Runner that is
'Anti-social' and they encounter a personnel Challenge you have to roll
off with a D6 to see who takes precedence. Sorry there is no hard and
fast ruling for this one. This question was one of the first that came
up early on in the playtesting.

Mike "Skuzzy" Nielsen

Gotta love the differences in play. Okay, I can see where even being
zero Rep objective, the Aqualogies give a lot for bang for the
(comparative) buck. I'm still scratching my head as far as what an
appropriate counterbalance might be, though. Hmm....

Cruel. Perfect with the "owner chooses target" Challenges, too. Why
*does* Torgo always run into the Fusion Gate, anyway? ;)

Actually, this brings in a slight 'problem' with both cards: they
essentially stop Basilisk and others from fragging cards. (Ghod - try
and word it so they don't.. eek.) If you trash Razorback to sleaze a
challenge, does that count as dying?... I might open the wording up a
bit to simply say "any time a Runner is trashed", which solves the first
problem and creates the second. Still easier to deal with, though.

Seen Akira. Don't remember it :)

Ditto with Ghost in the Shell.

I miss out on all the anime!

1. INTRODUCTION

1.A What is SHADOWRN?
SHADOWRN is a discussion list for the role-playing game called Shadowrun,
which is published by FASA. Shadowrun takes place in Seattle 61 years in the
future. Cybernetics, Virtual Reality, and Biotechnology are available to the
public. Furthermore, Magic exists and is controlled by mages and shamans,
and mythical beings once again roam the land. Megacorporations, with the
power of small nations, rule the politics and hold the ultimate stranglehold
on the underclass. Surviving in the world of Shadowrun takes as much courage
as it does skill.
And perhaps just a little luck.


1.B How do I subscribe to SHADOWRN?
To subscribe, you must send a control message to the list processor at
listproc.itribe.net. To do this, send an email with the following:

TO: listserv@***tproc.itribe.net
SUB: <leave blank>
1st line: SUBscribe SHADOWRN <your real name>

In a little while you should get email that you have to respond to, to
confirm your subscription to the list. Reply to that as instructed, after
which you should begin getting regular postings.


1.C How do I post to SHADOWRN?
To post to SHADOWRN, you send your posting via email to
SHADOWRN@********.ITRIBE.NET. Make sure that you have read the Posting
Guidelines portion of this FAQ before you post to the list. (Failure to do
so will result in being thwapped. ;o)


1.D How do I unsubscribe from SHADOWRN?
To unsubscribe, you must send a control message to the list processor at
listproc.itribe.net. To do this, send email with the following:

TO: listserv@***tproc.itribe.net
SUB: <leave blank>
1st line: UNSUBscribe SHADOWRN

In a little while you should get email confirming your unsubscription
request.


1.E Other Important LISTSERV-LITE Commands.
There are many commands you can give to the listserv in order to change how
your subscription works.

TO: listserv@***tproc.itribe.net
SUB: <leave blank>

REView SHADOWRN
This command will ask the listserv to send you what your subscription
options are at that point in time. (Very good to use as a test/ping message)

SET SHADOWRN REPRO
This command will have the listserv include you in the distribution of any
posting you make (i.e., you get your own things back, too).
To stop receiving your own posts: SET SHADOWRN NOREPRO

SET SHADOWRN ACK
This is simply a confirmation of the posting you just made in the form of
an email saying 'Your post was successfully distributed to XXX people.'
To stop receiving confirmations: SET SHADOWRN NOACK

SET SHADOWRN NOMAIL
Will halt your receiving of postings. You will still be able to send
messages to the list. Set this if you are going away for a couple days, and
think your mail quota might be exceeded. (If your mail quota is exceeded,
there is an excellent chance you will return to find yourself no longer on
the list.)
To resume getting posts: SET SHADOWRN MAIL

SET SHADOWRN DIGEST
When this option is set, instead of all of the postings being delivered
separately, they will be delivered in one mailing at the close of the day
(in ITRIBE's time zone). This is helpful if the number of mailings become a
burden, also another way to reduce the volume of mailings. (But not size.)
To resume receiving separate postings: SET SHADOWRN MAIL

HELP
Sending this command will give you a listing and brief descriptions of all
available commands.


1.F Why am I getting deleted from the list for no reason?
99% of the time, the reason you are deleted from the list (by the
listowner) is for some reason mail is bouncing off of your account.
Usually this is caused by one of two reasons. Either A) your account is
filled and can't hold any more or B) for some reason your account is not
available (either the machine or your account is down). Once the problem has
been fixed (you are back on the net or have room), you are, of course, free
to join the list again.


1.G HELP! Mail from the list has stopped coming!
Mail has an annoying characteristic in that, while most of the time it is
instantaneous, there are times when it can take up to two weeks to go from
one computer to another that is located ten feet away (much like snail mail,
eh?). If mail suddenly suddenly stops coming, very likely a link is down
between you and the list, and as soon as that link comes back up, you will
get all of the old mailings.
A good thing to try before posting to the list that nothing is coming, is
the 'REV SHADOWRN' command to the listserv. This way you'll get a response
right away if the ITRIBE machines are up, and you won't annoy the list
members with 'test' messages.
Also note that the listowner won't be able to help at all in terms of mail
not arriving. All he can do is to verify that you are indeed subscribed,
anything beyond that is under the control of someone else.

===

2. THE OTHER ITRIBE MAILING LISTS

2.A SHADOWTK
SHADOWTK (Shadowtalk) is an interactive fiction mailing list based on
Shadowrun. Members of the list post as characters in genre, and by
responding to each other's posts "in character", stories are developed.
These stories may then be used by players and GMs alike as a basis for
contacts, NPCs, and adventure plots in their own campaigns.
For more info : Mark Imbracio <mark@******.net>


2.B PLOTD
PLOTD is a supplemental discussion list for SHADOWTK. The purpose of PLOTD
is to discuss (as the name obviously implies) plotlines. It also handles
discussion of administrative issuesin order to not clog SHADOWTK or SHADOWRN
with only remotely related issues.
For more info : Mark Imbracio <mark@******.net>


2.C NERPS
NERPS (Net Enhancements for Role Playing Shadowrun) is a mailing list that
serves as a committee base for a group of individuals spending time
organizing and writing up a series of net.shadowrun manuals. These manuals
contain everything from new races and spells to new technology and alternate
magic systems.
The current FAQs for NERPS are located at
http://www.xs4all.nl/~gurth/NERPS%20FAQ%20A.txt and
http://www.xs4all.nl/~gurth/NERPS%20FAQ%20B.txt or
http://www.xs4all.nl/~gurth/index.html#nerps
They can also be gotten through email by sending Gurth an email with GIMME
NERPS (for both FAQs), GIMME FAQ A (for part A), or GIMME FAQ B (for part B)
in the subject line; the message body will be ignored as this is an
automated response.
For more info : Gurth <gurth@******.nl>


2.D SRCARD
SRCARD is a list for discussing the Shadowrun Trading Card Game, SRTCG,
which made it's debut at Gen Con in August of 1997. Foretelling an increase
in traffic on SHADOWRN, this list was created.
FAQ available at : http://coastnet.com/~dvixen/srtcg.html (both text and
html versions are linked from there) or
http://www.primenet.com/~gamemstr/srstuff/tcgfaq1.htm
For more info : Loki <gamemstr@********.com> or Lady Jestyr
<jestyr@*******.dialix.com.au>


2.E Subscribing to SHADOWTK, PLOTD, NERPS, and SRCARD.
Follow the format in part 1.B of the SHADOWRN FAQ, substituting SHADOWTK,
PLOTD, NERPS, or SRCARD for SHADOWRN.


2.F. Getting past logs via FTP
To get past logs for the different mailing lists, FTP to
listproc.itribe.net, login anonymous, and send your email as your password.
The directory the logs are found is /pub/listserv. To access the logs via
WWW, you can follow the links at http://www.itribe.net/shadowrun/home.html,
and there is a web interface for viewing past logs.

3. OTHER SHADOWRUN PLACES TO CHECK OUT

3.A FASA's Offical Shadowrun site.
http://www.fasa.com/Shadowrun/SRHOME.html (Do I really need to explain what
you will find at the official Shadowrun site???)


3.B Usenet Newsgroups
REC.GAMES.FRP.CYBER - set aside for discussion of the cyberpunk genre of
role-playing games. Discussions in this group include not only Shadowrun,
but also CyberSpace, CyberPunk 2020, GURPS Cyberpunk, and many others.

ALT.CYBERPUNK.* - This group hirarchy has little to do with Shadowrun, per
se, but they do have discussions of the cyberpunk genre of fiction and its
implications on current and future society.

ALT.MAGICK - This Usenet newsgroup, which may not be carried at all sites,
is for the discussion of magic/magick in "real life," in modern times.
Alt.magick is not specifically for role-playing information, but could shed
some light on what FASA would consider the more esoteric aspects of magical
theory.


3.C Undernet (IRC)
There are two channels on the Undernet for Shadowrun, #shadowrun, and
#shadowrun-game. The latter is for on line playing of games, while the
former is where most discussions take place. 'Us.Undernet.Org' will toss you
on a random American server, although it is recommended to pick a server
closer to you.
For more info : Wildangle <fro@***.ab.ca>


3.D Shadowrun Web Ring
Lady Jestyr has set up a ring of pages related to Shadowrun. And just
recently added, the official FASA Shadowrun site!
Located at : http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/1503
For more info : Lady Jestyr <jestyr@*******.dialix.com.au>


3.E The Shadowrun Archive
The best site for anything Shadowrun, bar none.
Located at : http://www.interware.it/shadowrun
For more info : Paolo Marcucci <paolo@*********.it>


3.F The ShadowFAQ
Not to be confused with the ShadowRN FAQ, (what you are reading) the
ShadowFAQ contains a number of official and unofficial
answers to a wide variety of frequently asked Shadowrun questions. The site
also has an official link graphic, if you link to it from a page.
The ShadowFAQ has a section giving instructions for linking.

3. DISCLAIMERS
SRTCG, Shadowrun, and the Matrix, are property of the FASA Corporation.
Thanks to them for giving us something to keep our brains thinking. (Buy the
cards, make the Mikes happy!)

By nature of the topic of this list (cyberpunk fiction and role-playing), it
should be warned that discussions often contain violent, sexual or adult
themes, as well as anarchistic political discussions. The responsibility
(blame?) for each posting falls entirely into the hands of the original
poster. The listowners, postmaster, and the iTribe administration assume no
liability for the contents of postings.

You *may* put a link to the FAQ page :
http://coastnet.com/~dvixen/srtcg.html or to any of the pages that the FAQ's
are located (.../srtcg/tcgfaq1.html, tcgfaq2.html, tcgfaq3.html) or their
text counterparts. But you may *not* put a separate copy on your web site.
The Admins and the FAQ Flunky are not responsible for those twonks who put
incorrect or out of date FAQ's for the mailing list on their own sites.)

===

4. POSTING GUIDLINES

4.A Quoting Previous Posts
Only quote what directly related to your reply. (Take out .sig files,
excess so-and-so wrote on date: messages, and other things that have nothing
to do with your post.) But *do* leave in something that will give the
readers a hint of what you are talking about... Please put your reply after
the text they refer to, editing the bits that don't have anything to do with
your reply.


4.B Flaming
As a general guideline, DON'T. Giving advice, and correcting someone is one
thing, going off on a torque because you don't agree is another thing. Honey
works better than vinegar.


4.C Subject lines
If you are posting a list of cards you are looking for, please include your
name/handle as part of the subject line. (e.g.: Dvixen's Trade List, Lady
Jestyr's Looking for list....)


4.D Trading cards
If there is a post that has cards you want to trade for, take it off the
list. This is now considered a private conversation, and the rest of the
list is not interested in reading your personal mail. ;o)


4.E Selling cards
For the time being, posting lists of cards to sell is being discouraged. If
you are looking to sell, or buy, you may post to the list of your
intentions, but any following posts *must* be taken to private email. Do
*not* post a list of cards and prices.


4.F Off Topic Posts [OT]
Those annoying discussions that have nothing at all to do with the card
game. Please, take them off list as soon as possible, before the list owners
decide your account needs to be deleted from the list.


4.G Posting formats.
Please, please post only in straight, plain text. No html, no attachments,
nothing but plain simple easy to read text.


4.H In character posts
As a general rule, (lots of those, aren't there?) *Don't*. If you want to
post stuff in character, ITRIBE has PLOTD and SHADOWTK for that. The only
thing you'll accomplish with In character/hacker/slang posts, is pissing off
the other listmembers.

Shadowrun!

Hi, my name is Rob Harris, and I have been poking around this list a fair
amount. I have three different "sections" of trades. Be sure to scan the
all (they are short) so you know the various things I am asking about!
Thanks for all your guys time, and I appriciate you looking at this
message.

Part 1 - Promo Cards
In my area, I can get:
Flatline
Foxy Roxy
Adam Bomb (maybe)
but I am still looking for:
Maglock Passkeys

If anyone would want to do a 1-for-1 swap on any of these promos, email
me. I would like to pick up as many as three of the Passkeys, so just tell
me what you are looking for! Thanks!

Part 2 - Other Games for Shadowrun
I have collected quite a few games in my days. Right now I have quite a
bit of Middle Earth cards (all expansions EXCEPT Against the Shadows), and
a bunch of Star Wars cards. I am looking for over 50 rares for Shadowrun
(not just the ones listed below), so I am sure we can come to some sort of
arrangement if you are interested in any of these games. Just contanct me
for the details. Thanks again!

Part 3 - Shadowrun Limited Rares
I have the following rares:
Security Decker Dirk Montgoumery Scatter
Scatter Remington 750 Saeder-Krupp
Saeder-Krupp False Mentor

I am looking to trade for the following cards:
Dodger Ghost Who Walks Lord Torgo
Swaark Greater Elemental Elite Security Mage
Runners on Retainer Lofwyrs Schemes Stun Gloves
Heavy Armor (full) The Festering Tusk Aztechnology
Renranku Blindsided Suicide Rune

If you have any of these cards availible, and would like to make a trade,
just tell
me. Thanks for your time!

Subject: Listmembers trying to run Demos at Conventions
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hey everybody,

Now that you're listening, I'm trying to get FASA approval to allow me to
run a demo at local convention during Halloween Weekend. Fields of Honor
will take place in Des Moines, Iowa October 31 through November 2.

Since FASA has scheduled only 4 total demonstrations (I think), I thought it
would be our duty to try and extend the influence of Shadowrun to other
unenlightened souls. I know my area is "polluted" by MtG players
exclusively (Shadowrun... what's that? has been my typical response). By
running demos at even small conventions, we can introduce the game to new
players.

At the last Fields of Honor (in 95) I attended, a Wyvern demonstration was
run by a local dealer. Sales of the game jumped for the rest of the event,
and I actually saw players trading in Magic for other games.

What does everyone think about this idea/strategy to increase sales for FASA?

Oh yeah... (I stole this from someone, sue me.)
If an infinite number of hillbillies rode around in an inifinite
