Now now James, don't be bitter.

He's a bit upset, he thought you guys were going to be the...  Candyman. 

[Mirikon]

Well why don't we go up to the lab, and see what he has on the slab?

[WellSpokenRunner]

"Well I was walking down the street just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
He shook me up, he took me by surprise
He had a pickup truck and the devil's eyes.
He stared at me and I felt a change
Time meant nothing, never would again"

Soooo...Harlequin's back?

Sorry James.   

[FastJack]

I hate you all.

Ah the sweet ambrosia of a Freelancer's tears.... Almost as good as CanRay's.

[Ragnarok]

I hate you all.

Ah the sweet ambrosia of a Freelancer's tears.... Almost as good as CanRay's.

I'm still trying to figure out why he'd hate all of us.

[Mirikon]

I hate you all.

Ah the sweet ambrosia of a Freelancer's tears.... Almost as good as CanRay's.

I'm still trying to figure out why he'd hate all of us.

Because he wanted to be Frank-n-furter, but Tim Curry got the role.

Imagine a simsense remake of the flick, with Harlequin as Frankenfurter . . . .

And Ehran as the narrator . . . .

Honestly, how many people remember all the previous editions? Generally speaking, a new edition usually has a couple years update in the
"And so it came to pass" history, and a few rules fixes. There were some changes from 1 to 2(mostly the change to damage code, and making
priorities lettered, not numbered). A few other changes from 2nd to 3rd., then 4th completely redid everything from the ground up. Now,
all RPGs go through multiple editions. Look at Call of Cthulhu, where, really, to my knowledge, there are not any major differences between
the editions. For Shadowrun, I was still using Shadowtech and Fields of Fire all the way into 3rd edition.  A 5th Edition of SR is inevitable. The best thing they could do is start planning it YEARS in advance..I mean, I would love to see a game with 2 years or more of play testing and then open beta test...

(I would also like to see a return of Grounding and more random initiative passes)

The earlier shadowrun editions were meant to be improvements on the same system (similar to how D&D 3rd went to 3.5) rather than a new system all together. Many games have taken this approach, but a lot of them choose to go with something more like Revised or Improved or Advanced rather than numbers.

SR5 is almost assuredly in the works the way this industry goes, I just hope its a system improvement rather than a new system all together. That way we don't have to buy all new books.
