I was looking for Shadowrun Running Wild authors...

I found something like this (check the Art Direction):
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048571/fullcredits

Rob, you don't have to hid anymore.
You can post in sperethiel ;P

Cheers

and Shadowrun. :-)

Matt has obviously unearthed evidence that Rob Boyle, Line Developer

under FanPro for Shadowrun and Art Director for the Shadowrun 4th ed

book, is himself an immortal elf!



Was he involved in the Harlequin story arc I wonder?

From SR 4th edition:
Shadowrun Line Developer
Rob Boyle
Art Direction
Rob Boyle

In addition to bottom psting, it's usual practise to clean up the message and
snip out blank and old lines.

What part of the discussion might be incompatible with that? There's still
the possibility of conspiracy. Noone has proved that Gates isn't another IE,
afer all! The Canon is strangely silent about his fate, he might be any of
the IEs mentioned in Secrets of Power, after all. And he goes on, strewing
possible list topics...

I almost deleted it as spam. It is a very random-looking subject line.

I'm sorry for confusing previous post.
Poor English, my fault.

Of course, but the topic was handled so cavalierly that one just assumes
obfuscation and cosnpiracy. ANd they never talked about Bill in all that.
Besides, doesn't he look like an elf?
