So, since no-one seems to have started a thread on it yet...

Would I be correct in presuming that this is going to be a setting book, not an Alternate Core Book?

Any other speculation people want to make about it based on the little we have?

If I'm correct it is a sourcebook for the legendary 50s with some rules to apply SR4e to such years (for exemple how to handle decks instead of the Matrix). One thing: it is not a reboot of the time-line... Right? :P

I think it's safe for me to say that, no, it's not a reboot of the timeline.

If you don't hear from me again, you'll know I was wrong.

Just a moment, I'm on the line with the Lesbian Elf Stripper Ninjas...  No, the other Patrick.  The writer, not the artist.  ...  Yes him.  Yes, I'm sure.

...

Yes, I'll have a bunch of hot women with singles ready to put them into your g-strings in order to pay you.

I was asking because on Table Top Gaming News they are saying that it is a new core book(and that Shadowrun has been gone
and is being brought back)

So... I could have saved myself a lot of time and not bothered with my conversion of the entire 2050 setting to SR4.

I started writing in the first week of March, I was posted on 3/25! :P It'd all be uploaded to, if my laptop hadn't decided to go and implode... I bet when I shipped it off to HP for repairs a team of Shadowrunners intercepted it. That's my paydata Catalyst! Admit it!  >:( ::)

It's only your paydata if you can prove it's yours.  Now, if you excuse me, I have to go talk to my team of Deckers who are stripping ID information from the files.

If they do it fast enough, they get to see their families this month!  For five whole minutes!

Save your data in some cheap chip. We will get you back chummer.

You're paying them in singles, Ray? No wonder your strike squads fail....

They insist that it's their tradition as strippers to be paid in singles.

Lots and lots of singles.  They're sure not to get counterfeit bills that way.
