Howdo,
I have sent some photocopies of requested info a time or six to some
of you chummers out there, and now I have a request for some copies.
White Wolf mag did a series of articles on Voodoo in Shadowrun. I have
part 4 entitled Magic Over Bourbon Street. This was from the Jan/Feb of
1993 (#34). I realize that the rules for voodoo are out in Awakenings
now, but the issue still has some rather nice stuff in it. I got the
impression that part 4 was the final installment. Does anyone know how
many there were, and can someone please send me photocopies (or post it)
of the other parts?

Thanks a bunch!

I've got4 {of the 5} articles written up on New Orleans in White Wolf [
I loaned the 1st to a 'friend' and never saw it again. Sheesh.] If you
want , I can photocopy them, and zip them off to you via mail. Just let
me know.
And actually, if anybody out there has the 1st article, detailing the
city of New Orleans, I'd be grateful if you could drop myself a copy
[lessee now, what have I got to trade...hmmmmm, old copy of the Grail
manuscript, nah...metal sliver from Excalibur, nah...AHA!!! The original
ROBOT battery powered toy from the tv show Lost in Space! Doh!!! <just
dropped it> :-[

Actually, "Shadows Over The Big Easy" was a five-part article. The last part
was an adventure, the title of which eludes me... I have the whole thing
laying around here somewhere. Maybe I can send you a copy...

The issues ran from issue 30 to 35. There were articles on New Orleans
itself, a collection of archtypes called Native's of the Big Easy, and two
modules and a magic system for voodoo which is still pretty nice. It's a lot
easier than the one from awakeings.

I gotta be honest about this one...we still use the Voodoo rules from that
White Wolf article because they make much more sense to us mechanics wise
as well as the feel they have. I was extremely disappointed in the voodoo
rules in Awakenings =(
