Welcome. Bull usually handles the introductions. Is BullBot online? :]

>or two spells?

Negamages were presented in, if I recall correctly, White Wolf Magazine
and thus not a canon magic "user". As such, no they do not appear in
Magic in the Shadows (MitS). The magicians that only cast one or two
spells have been removed.

>2) Is it worth buying the SR Companion 3rd edition when I already have
the
>2nd?

I bought it, but I'm a nut. There are a few changes. The best idea is
to go down to your gaming shop and ask them to let you strum through it.

The standard place to order it is Amazon.com (www.amazon.com) or direct
from FASA (www.fasa.com). However, remember that you'll have to pay S&H
on any such orders.

IRC (Inter Relay Chat). You can game on IRC. If you don't know anything
about IRC. Just go to www.mirc.com and download the appropriate version
of mIRC and while online connect to an undernet server (from the server
list, choose one that says undernet in the name) a join the shadowrun
channel (type: /join #shadowrun).

Go to http://www.dragonscroll.com - Dragonscroll is run by James
Burkett - all-around nice guy. You can also contact him directly at
this address: [james.burkett@************.com]

Anyway, he doesn't normally keep RA:S in stock, although he might atm
for reason that I won't go into at this juncture (hey, finally got to
say that!). He can get it fairly quickly, though, and if you tell him I
sent you, he MIGHT give you a discount (I know he's discounting for
friends of mine atm, but I don't know about general acquaitances :) ).

> >4) The SR gaming area around me is deader than the roadkill that

the internet with capable players, or is that a pipe dream?

As someone else mentioned, if you don't mind taking time, PBeMs are
good. Best place to find them is www.pbem.com - or sometimes they're
advertised on the list.
