Hey kids, how's life? Had to do a brief stint in rehab for a bitty
relapse of the Crystal Entity, but I'm back. Ditched the WebTV unit and
finally assembled my 'puter, so g'head and bitch if the column width is
off. :) I'll fix it. BTW Gurth: about time to change the block in yer
sig; the geeks have probably found a way passed it. :) So what new toys
have the lovely folks at FASA dropped out in the passed couple months;
<hopeful>RBB2???</hopeful> One can dream.

Woohoo!

Quickfix

The man who made it did not want it;
The man who bought it did not use it;
The man who used it did not know it.

IIRC RBB2 has been scheduled for release several times. But as it is
already mid-July, I daresay FASA may stick to this one. :) The Westwind
2057... oohhhh... :)

Like vice grips to the genital region. Now I'll have to learn to convert
1st Ed. to 3rd! Maybe I'll give in this time and just buy the damn 3rd
<grumble>. So what's the deal this time, they merging 2nd ed. sourcebook
with the companion and choice goodies from the supplements, or are they
shooting for an overhaul of the system? (Mike, you still around? :)

Has anyone told you your system clock is a week behind?

FASAMike no longer subscribes because he's apparently too busy with other
things (since they're most likely Shadowrun-related, I guess he can be
forgiven :) but it looks like SR3 will do to SR2 what SR2 did to SR1 --
attempt to streamline the system, and add in major rules changes like VR
2.0 and RBB2 (which will be out this autumn).

Don't worry. They only just started work on it. Someone asked for things we
wanted fixing, clarifying and changing....

It broke list-bulk records...

(one of the things suggested by quite a few people was to bring back
variable staging.....)

So what's the deal this time, they merging 2nd ed. sourcebook
|with the companion and choice goodies from the supplements, or are they

Basically, I think it's going to be SHRII + VRII + RBB2 + clarifications and
rules tidying.....

(Although it'll only have the RULES from VRII and RBB2, none of the
equipstuff, and probably in brief).

It's not scheduled for a year or two..... Someone said 1998, so 1999 it is
then....

:)

From what Steve said it appears that they are shooting for Gencon next
year...which would be about August 10th or so I would imagine. That of
course is a preliminary release time, so expect changes.

Hoi Shawn! Welcome back!!! :]

Glad to see you've managed to get a real system...:] (Web TV makes for a
nice toy, but...:))

Anyways, to answer your question...

The newest product from FASA was Target:UCAS, released this month. It
covers Bosten and Detroit, both aparentlyy "Hot Spots" following the death
of President Dunky... It also has a section on Chicago, and updates Bug City.
More importantly, however, Granite, Fro, Spike, and Myself get a Guest
appearence in the book! Yay!! :] Look for Bull, "The Best Ork Decker you
never met" :]:]

And now, for the BOT :]

No idea exactly what they're doing, and Steve kenson hasn't been very
forthcoming with the details, but... Hopefully all they're doing is
cleaning up the rules, modifying a few "trouble rules", and updating the
Matrix and Rigger sections of the book, along with some of the Tech stuff...

Look for SR3 around Gen Con next year, which is supposed to be FASA's bg
premier there...:]

As for Mike, he's Been off the list for about three months. With Summer
here, he's got a LOT of work to do. He's been prepping and finalizing
things with the SR Card Game, priemering at gen Con in a couple weeks, and
then available in Stores after that (I assume), plus Rigger 2.0 (Due around
September, withn hopefully a preview at Gen Con) and Cyberpirates (Due out
probably in October or November, and which was previewed at Origins from
what I hear).

He's been attending Conventions almost every weekend since May or so, so
that's why he isn;t current;y subscribed. Hard to keep up with your mail
when
you can't check it for 3 or 4 days, especially with THIS list...;]

Ok, that's iit... See ya! :]

Sorry Mike...:]

You made the mistake of not saying you were new to the list... I can only
greet newbies if I KNOW they're newbies...:]

But if it makes you feel any better...

Welcome! :]
