So my group(Okay not so much a group anymore as just my husband and I
but..) finally bought all of the OOP Shadowrun stuff and nothing new
(good)was coming out anytime soon, so we decided to play something else. We
tried Dc Comics, Mage, Werewolf, Hunter, Rifts, Heroes Unlimited, Dc Comics,
and then decided to do our own game world with Gurps. We discovered that we
were just recreating SR. So now were back. It's very lethargic-like going to
an old friends house to catch up on old times.

Several notes: 1. Nothing compares to the Shadowrun Megaverse. It's
complexity and plotlines really are a work of genius. Nothing else blends
Magic and Technology as well.

2. Reading role-playing material during the day can drown out Barney but not
Veggietales.

3.There IS NO online community for other games that is as open as you guys
tend to be. Now granted I was mostly a lurker when I was here before, but
90% of you were always helpful when I had questions. You don't realize how
much online material helps until you don't have it anymore. Most other rpg's
only have maybe 50 websites and that's if your lucky. There are no
TSS/DeepResonance equivalents. The fan fiction is just horrid. I would have
to reread stuff on Shapcano and magespace to cleanse my mind. The mailing
lists are a joke filled with underage brats wanting to talk about the sexual
relations of werewolf's in minute detail. You guys may bitch about DVixen
all you want, but we need to clone her and send her duplicates out on a seek
and destroy mission.

I had more notes but I forget now. So anyway, we were playing Gurps and I
subscribed to Pyramid to read the Spirits playtest of Steve Kensons (love
that guy) and saw the Fasa closing announcement. Don't worry I read the
archives and I know that you guys have beaten it to death. I just want to
say that I think it can be a good thing. Correct me if I'm wrong but the
people that bought it were of the Tom Dowd/Nigel Findley generation? See
that's exciting to me because I liked the IE big plot stuff. But now Mike M
is going to be there too so everyone should be happy. The two should balance
each other out and maybe make it even better. So after all the rambling
what's my question? Well I just want to know if the Matrix books or the
Rigger whatever are worth picking up if you don't play with deckers or
riggers as PC's. Decking was always way too complicated and I am an American
so meters per hour means squat to me. Is there any new world information
since Corporate Download?

I have the Rigger BlackBook (1st Ed, IIRC). Nice. Good for what the corps
are driving, and also nice to have more than 3 kinds of car on the road.

BTW, I concur about trying to drown out VeggieTales.

Oh, and if it's allowed, I'm thinking of selling most or all of my 1st ed.
SR stuff. Is there any demand for it? I have a bunch of stuff that's well
read but still in fine condition. Catch me off-list if interested. Not sure
what the policy is on selling/trading/offering stuff. Gridsec?

Well, as I understand it, Mike's shift in the focus away from high magic
and IEs was only intended as a temporary thing. So, we can't really say
how this will differ from Mike's plan at FASA. I'm personally hoping
Wizkids will give Mike as close to free reign as feasible.

Well, I want to say yes, but you could probably live without them,
particularly Matrix. Rigger 3, however, is still pretty nifty seeing as
the vehicle construction rules have been updated.

In the Matrix, the two sections that would be of interest to non-deckers
are The Matrix World (9 pages), Information Searches (9 pages), and
Matrix Players (7 pages). Throughout the other sections, there are other
nifty tidbits such as current AIs, System Tricks (don't worry about HOW
to do them, just that they CAN be done), Using Trodes (500¥), plus an RTG
listing (Hey, a Red-6 RTG for Vatican City? The Pope must be paranoid
:)), etc...

Rigger 3 has even more info for the regular shady fellow. Find out about
license and registration and insurance on page 9. Notes about
transportaion (planes, trains, and automobiles!) run from page 9 to 11.
Find out about standard safety systems and license plates on pages 12 and
13. Well, there's alot of general purpose info all the way until page 21.
On 22 starts the info for Rigger characters. Ship and sub rules start on
page 51. And special vehicle rules Lifting/Pulling, strees, trailers,
economy, etc) start on 61. Advanced rules (Otempo, variable economy,
quality factors, etc) kick in on page 72. New toys (I think you should
pick up R3 just for the oil slick spray and morphing license plate.)
start on page 86. Vehicle construction (design and customization) rules
run amuck! amuck! amuck! from 102 all the way to 155 and 194 to 205.
There's a vehicle listing (nuclear aircraft carriers are a bargain at
only 9bil a pop.) from 156 to 193. Even if you don't play a rigger, it's
a ton of great stuff!

First of all, Kismet, welcome back...:)

Anymore kids yet? ;)

<snipt!(TM)>
> Is there any new world information since Corporate

> Kismet

I'd have to say that's a "no, but"...or possibly a
"yes, and"...

No, definitely a "no, but".

:)

More seriously, there haven't been any pure "world"
books released, BUT Target: Matrix opens up a new
world, in a way. There's a lot of stuff in there about
the Matrix that simply hasn't been addressed before
and can certainly be used to expand your SR game.
Also, Brainscan - it's an adventure, but it's got some
answers for the arcology shutdown and that is a pretty
large world event.

Well you just sold me on it, providing I ever get the money for it...and here
I was just going to settle for Rigger 2, which I may still out of monetary
reasons.

What about Man & Machine? Is it worth picking up if you already have
Cybertech and Shadowtech from the 2nd Ed?

At least I'm not the only one. My wife is my GM and the last character I
played was running against IE's and stuff. (you REALLY don't want to know
the "stuff")

She's a munchie GM. sorta an oxymoron. Her games are great though, so I'm
not complaining.

I'd better not, she's on the list too. Hi honey! : P

Can't say much about decking (never really got into it) but using rigger's
can be pretty fun, even for a non rigger.

IE a "Face" architype with a "super car". whala James Bond the 9th.,
etc.

Yes. I don't have Cybertech, but M&M gives more USEFUL information than
Shadowtech. In each section (ie. Cybertechnology) there's information on which
corporations are on the cutting edge and which are lagging behind, as well as
different rules for everything (including connectability). And the last 26 pages
or so (math isn't my strong point) deal with getting hurt, getting fixed up,
getting implanted, and what can happen to your 'ware when an NPC succeeds in
trying to hurt you. It's really nasty. My friends hate it a lot.

Thanks to everyone who has welcomed me. The kids are great. My daughter just
turned a year old last month and I've lost all hearing in my right ear from
the party. My son is now two and a half and our house is like the old
roadrunner cartoon. He's the roadrunner and we(Wile E Coyote&Co.) construct
elaborate plots just to slow his little diapered bottom down. Our baby gates
say Acme. I'm gathering my strength for potty training.

To answer Doc's question -- Do you think I'm crazy? No more kids. I'm going
to hold on to my little shred of sanity as long as possible.

Teletubbies isn't that loud but what a weird show. I honestly think that the
baby in the sun actually hypnotises children. I see no other reason why kids
would watch it.

Everyone's comments about the latest books are helpful. I will talk it over
with the hubby. I'm just glad I resisted the urge to sell off our SR books.
I have Rigger 2 do I really need the third one?

Apparently you hadn't tried the official Werewolf-L list. That one is
very mature, and Ethan Skemp, the man in charge of the Werewolf line,
posts there regularly. You can send a 'subscribe werewolf-l' message to
listserv@******.wizards.com if you'd like to subscribe and check it out.
Traffic's a bit slow at the moment though.

Other than the immortal elves, I belive I threw, at one time or another:
A dragon, several vampires and at least one horror, not to mention
spirits toxic or otherwise. Not to mention he maganged to royaly tick
several highly placed people in Aztechnology off.

This was in addition to your standard supply of security gaurds, local
and fedral police, and rival shadowrunners.

THANKS!!!! I won't sleep a wink for a week.!! : P
Twisted man, twisted. If you add things like that in your games, you and my
wife would get along.she has a troll street/sorta go gang called "The
Pirates of Puyallup*. They ride around in a stolen rebuilt/modified Oscar
Meyer Weinermobile dressed like pirates.

It started as Munchie Run to introduce a couple of new players and sorta
evolved into a whole different strain of adventure.

It was hilarious, they were actually being "controlled" by a parrot shaman
who was REALLY cracked.

I had a friend who had a copy of a game...ummm...Silent something... It was a
Playstation game and you play this supercop narc or something. My favorite
weapon on that is the taser cause you can plug it into the bad guys and watch
them catch fire and dance the dance of the suffering dead! ::malevolent
sadistic flicker in his eyes:: MUAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Actualy love it was a bus with the top removed and psudo rigging added.

Hey, once, I ran an adventure that started with Food Fight then ended
with the characters going on a metaplanar quest like in Harley's Back
except the plane looked like a pastel elementery school with a warped
playground. The characters then had to battle Barney and his hordes of
psychotic children. It was fun for the whole family ... :)

I wanna play in a game where we get to drive around in the "weiner"
mobile!

Hey, that reminds me of another run ... One of the PC's street doc turned
up missing and the PCs had to track him down; he was running around
playing clubs in drag after accidently slotting a Mariah Mecurial bunraku
chip. :)

Well, if you ever want to brainstorm on how to harass your players,
you've got my e-mail. ;)
