No new character sheet in 2050.
Power corrupts.
Absolute power is kinda neat.

Just finished going through it early this morning. Some of the Shadowtalk gave me the chills-- like watching the remake of a movie I've heard old-timers talk about. I also feel rewarded for having soaked up as much about the history of the setting as I've been able to so I could spot a lot of it.

Incidentally, I never was able to play SR until the 4A came out and I found a group.

I actually like the Matrix setting of this far better than the 2073 'everybody's special, so nobody's special' wireless blandness. Actually _needing_ to jack in to truly do things in the Matrix, or to rig properly makes me quite happy.

I'm a little surprised there wasn't a quick run-down of what is/isn't available from other sourcebooks; Changelings didn't happen 'til YotC in 2063, ferex.


My GM is going to devour this, take some of his old adventures and run 'em, so I better slot in, sit down, and hold on, 'cause this is going to be one hellacious ride. :)

The gear section slays me. I owe CanRay dinner sometime. :)

Anything in the Shadowtalk stand out in particular for you?

I'll take the dinner, but I wrote The Matrix Chapter.

Again, you did do an awesome job. Though, is there any word on that stuff that accidentally ended up not making it?

We'll see how badly beaten up I am at GenCon.

Silly question- is the print version of the book available now or is it still just PDF and pre-order for the book? If not, when is the print version available?

I don't think the formal street date has been released, though there will be copies available at GenCon.  It wasn't listed as part of their formal August releases, but am guessing September.

There WERE copies at GenCon.  At least until one Freelancer showed up and carried as many away as his broken arm allowed...

There is mention in the book that protection from acid rain and heavy smog is necessary, but no mechanics that I can see. How would you suggest treating these factors?
